The Fairbury Journal-Jul. 4, 1918
The passing of Judge C. C. Boyle, who died at his home in Fairbury about 1:30, Monday, July 1, 1918, takes away another pioneer. Judge Boyle was nearly 80 years old, having been born in Ohio, July 20, 1838, lacking but 19 days of reaching four score. He had been in ordinary health until Saturday previous to his death when he was found sitting at his table in an unconscious condition. For the past few years he had lived alone in his cottage at the east end of Sixth street and was found by neighbors. He did not regain consciousness and died as stated above two days later.
Judge Boyle was one of the pioneers of Fairbury. He located here at the laying out of the town in 1869. His oldest daughter, Mrs. Edna Allen, was the second child born in the village, his wife's sister, Mrs. Shader, now of Lincoln, being mother of the first child born here.
Judge Boyle left Ohio when quite young with his parents and lived in Iowa. From here he went with his father to Colorado being attracted by gold discoveries. Their party was the first white people in Middle Park in the Rocky Mountains. Here they lost all their possessions at the hands of the Indians and were finally compelled to abandon their claims and returned to Iowa.
While a boy, young Boyle received an injury to his knee which made him a cripple for life. He studied law and was admitted to the bar. On February 29, 1864, he was married to Luna C. Mason, at Grundy Center, Iowa. Mrs. Boyle died in Fairbury in July, 1909.
In 1869, they moved to Fairbury which has been the home of Judge Boyle ever since. He has been either county judge or justice of the peace most of the time since his residence here, serving all together 23 years as county judge. His first service was from 1872 until 1876, two terms. He was again elected and began his term in 1896, continuing in office for 19 years retiring in 1915, on account of advancing years.
He leaves four children, Edna, wife of E. R. Allen, Fairbury, Nebr.; Bluma, wife of R. T. Smith, Kingfisher, Okla.; Eugene C. Boyle, San Francisco, Calif.; Charlotte, wife of C. W. Tulleys, Omaha, Nebr.
