GEORGE W. BOYCE
(Farmer and Carpenter, Post-office, Lentner).
A native of Delaware, Mr. Boyce was born in Sussex county, on the 21st day of June, 1825, and was the second eldest of seven children of Joseph Boyce, a veteran of the War of 1812, and wife, nee Fannie Ball. Reared on his father's farm in Sussex county, Mr. Boyce, Jr., was married in 1849 to Miss Eliza A. Hearn, of Delaware. She died, however, the following year, and in 1857 Mr. Boyce came to Missouri. Here he was married in 1859 to Miss Elizabeth Barr. Subsequently he located in Shelby county, near Lentner, where he was engaged in farming until the second year of the war. He then enlisted in the Southern army under Col. Porter, but was captured at Kirksville, and after his release he went to Delaware, where he remained until the close of the war. His wife died in 1865, leaving him one child, Mary Lee, who died shortly afterwards. In 1866 he returned to Missouri and in 1873 was married to Miss Mary J. Brewington, of Shelby county. Mr. Boyce has been residing on his present farm for many years. He has a place of 192 acres, and is engaged in stock-raising and raising grain. Mr. Boyce learned the carpenter's trade when quite a young man and worked at it continuously up to a few years ago. He followed carpentering exclusively for many years and made his start in life at that occupation. Mr. and Mrs. Boyce have one child, Tilden G., named for the sage of Greystone, whom it is needless to say Mr. Boyce is for President first, last and all the time, whether the " Old Man " can walk or talk or not. Mrs. Boyce is a member of the M. E. Church South, and he is a member of the A. F. and A. M.

Mr. Boyce bought a tract of land, one-half mile east of Bacon Chapel, where he improved a farm and made a comfortable home. Together he and his wife and one child lived happy in this home for some ten or twelve years when death for the third time claimed his companion. This left Mr. Boyce in the evening of life, and without a companion, and but one child to comfort and cheer him to the close of day. He and his little boy remained on the farm close companions for a few more years, when, he too, was called hence to try the realities of the unknown.
