Well Known Resident of North Side Died Today

Mrs. Katherine O'Keefe Boyce of 621 Hecla Street died at her home this
morning at 5:45 o'clock after an extended illness. She had been ill since
Christmas and had been critical recently.

Mrs. Boyce was the last member of her family, her parents and all brothers
and sisters having preceded her in death. She is survived by five daughters
and one son, Mrs. Mary Lenz, Mrs. Nellie Mayne, Mrs. Henry Goldcamp and Mrs.
James J. Burns all of Ironton, Mrs. Jean Burns of Ashland and James Boyce who
is at present employed at Chillicothe.

Mrs. Boyce was born in Pennsylvania but came to Ironton with her parents when
she was a child. She had since resided here and was one of the best known and
highly beloved residents of the North Side. She was united in marriage here
to Daniel Boyce, who preceded her in death twenty-seven years. She was a
beloved mother and neighbor and there were expressions of sorrow on all sides
when it became known the "Grandma Boyce" has passed to a well-earned reward.  She was an ardent member of St. Lawrence church and one of the oldest members  of the Altar and Rosary Society.

Mrs. Boyce was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John O'Keefe. They
preceded her in death as did her four brothers and two sisters, James,
William, Thomas, John, Margaret and Susan. Her husband, Daniel Boyce, was an employee of the N & W, meeting death on Aug. 18, 1903 when struck by a train near Big Etna. Several children also preceded her in death.

Funeral services will be held at St. Lawrence Church, probably Monday morning
at 9 o'clock. Burial will be made in Sacred Heart cemetery under direction of
O'Keefe and Co.
