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.
