From the Portsmouth Herald (N.H.) newspaper 29 Sep. 1942..Funeral services were held today for Mrs. Jennie Boyle, about 50, sister of George A. MacDonald of 166 Cabot St., Portsmouth. She was found dead in her car yesterday afternoon after having been missing since Friday.
Mrs. Boyle, widow of Henry Boyle, was discovered in a sitting position in the back seat of her coupe at the Campton pond reservation by two hunters, Scott Bump and Kenneth McCormack of Campton.
The youths at first thought the woman was asleep but upon investigating found that she was dead. Dr. Shirley Olmstead of Plymouth, deputy medical referee for Grafton County, said that death was probably suicide.
Mr. MacDonald, her brother, attended the funeral services in Lincoln today. Other members of her family are her mother, Mrs. Murdock MacDonald, two sisters, Mrs. Edna Mayhew and Mrs. Laura McVey, and two brothers, James and William MacDonald, all of Lincoln

Another newspaper obituary:
Mrs. Boyle was the widow of Henry Boyle and at the time of her death was forelady in the paper finishing room at the Parker Young Company. She had forty young women under her supervision. By her employers, colleagues, and assistants, she was held in the highest respect and esteem. Possessed of a bright, genial and helpful disposition and an indefatigable worker, she radiated good will and confidence amongst those under her charge and was the soul of good fellowship at social gatherings. She will be sincerely missed and lovingly remembered by those who knew her.
