The Late Thomas Boyce
The death occurred after a lengthy illness on November 24th of Mr. Thomas Boyce, a lifelong resident of Merivale. The deceased had reached the advanced age of 75 years. The late Mr. Boyce is survived by his widow, formerly Elizabeth Bradley, two sons and two daughters, John D. and Mrs. Clarke Goth of South Gloucester, and Thomas H. and Lyla at home, and several grandchildren; also one brother, George Boyce of Merivale and two sisters, Mrs. H. Nesbitt, also of Merivale, and Mrs. A. Davidson of Britannia. Deceased was a supporter of the United Church. He had also filled the highest offices in the Orange Order and the Royal Black Preceptory No. 227 of Ottawa. Mr. Boyce was a Fenian Raid veteran, having served with the Garrison Artillery in the year 1870. Deceased was a member of the school board, and also on the Nepean township council board for many years. In politics, Mr. Boyce was a staunch Conservative and always had been a steadfast supporter of that party.
The funeral was held on Saturday from his late residence. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Stewart, pastor of the Merivale United church. He was assisted by Rev. William Bradley of Brownville, NY, a nephew of the deceased, and Rev. J.J.E. Brownlee of the Gloucester United church. During the service, Mrs. H.G.W. Braithwaite sang a solo "There is a Beautiful Land on High." The large gathering of friends and neighbors, also the many beautiful floral wreaths, showed the esteem in which Mr. Boyce was held. Interment was made in the family plot at Merivale. The service was conducted at the grave by the brethren of RBP No. 227 of Ottawa. Mr. Boyce's family has the deepest sympathy of the people from this vicinity, in this their hour of sorrow.
