Mildred Ruth, Joseph Wayne, Lawrence, and Lewis Conrad. While a resident of Canyonville he served four years as Deputy Assessor and was Justice of the Peace for eight years.

Mr. Boyle is prominently connected with a number of fraternal orders,. he became a Free Mason and has held all the chairs of Canyonville, Lodge No. 72, A. F. & A.
