Rocky's Assistant Falls to Her Death
Mrs. Louise Auchincloss Boyer, who was executive assistant to former Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in his career outside public life, fell to her death yesterday morning from her 10th-floor apartment at 530 E. 86th St.

Mrs. Boyer, who was 59, had been associated with the Rockefeller family for 40 years, and since 1944 had worked for the ex-governor. She was a key Rockefeller aide in his wide range of private contacts with national and world leaders.

Mrs. Boyer, who had been hospitalized twice in the last year, was found about 5 a.m. in a courtyard. She was clad in night clothes.

Police tentatively listed the death as an apparent suicide. Her former associates in Rockefeller's offices at 30 Rockefeller Plaza said she had suffered from a heart ailment.

Stunned by her death, Rockefeller said: "The entire Rockefeller family is grief-stricken by the death of Mrs. Louise Boyer. She was a woman of extraordinary strength and character, competence and intelligence."

Mrs. Boyer's husband, Allston Boyer, whom she married in 1947, died in 1972. He was a conservationist and worked as executive assistant to Laurance Rockefeller.

She was previously married to Capt. Edward Robbins, an associate of Nelson Rockefeller before World War II. Capt. Robbins, who served in the US Air Force, was killed in action in 1942.

Mrs. Boyer was a granddaughter of the late Col. Edward M. House, an adviser to President Woodrow Wilson, and the daughter of Mrs. Gordon Auchincloss and the late Mr. Auchincloss.
