Thomas Boyle, who in his young days
had the reputation of being one of the
''best men, in the coal region, died on
Friday of last week in the almshouse at
Laurytown. He was born eighty years
ago in Ardara County Donegal, Ireland,
and came to America when quite young
With his wife Margaret, he lived in
many of the towns of the Lehigh region
About fifteen years ago they took up
their residence at Highland, where they
remained until five years ago, when
both were admitted to the almshouse.
Mrs. Boyle died there few years ago.
In early life and middle age Butcher
Boyle, as he was generally known, was
man of splendid physique, and those
who knew him then say that few cared
to discuss subjects with him in any but
an amicable way. He was buried in the
Catholic cemetery at Laurytown.
