Obituary- Boyles, James 3

Obituary
James Henry Boyles was born in Athens, Ohio, August 1, 1855, where he resided until April, 1879.

May 20, 1877 he was united in Marriage to Miss Julia E. Dodds, also of Athens. This union was blessed by four children, two sons and two daughters, all of whom survive him except the first born--a son.

In April, 1879, Mr. Boyles and his family together with his parents and brothers, came to Rossville, where he continued to reside until in 1898, when he moved to the present home near Silver Lake.

Mr. Boyles' life has been marked by an unusual degree of happiness and contentment, the reward of close adherence to duty and rectitude of character. His conjugal relations were most happy, never from the day of his marriage until the moment of his death did he fail to show by words and actions a pure and lasting affection for his beloved companion, who reciprocated in the fullest measure. Their path through life being a lovers' voyage. His warm heart went out in loving action to a large number of friends and relatives, while he was the idol of the household children and grandchildren.

His loss, though seemingly unbearable, is tempered in no small degree by the reflection that throughout his life he was governed as nearly perhaps as possible for a human being to be by the greatest rule laid down by the Savior--The Golden Rule.

He died March 18, 1910, at his home. He leaves to deeply mourn his loss, a wife, three children, a mother, and three brothers besides many friends.
