   EDWARD T. BOYLE was born in Bureau County, Illinois, April 4, 
1844, and is one of six children born to Oliver and Elizabeth (Wilson) 
Boyle, natives of Virginia and Kentucky respectively.  The parents when 
young removed to Illinois, where they married and where Oliver Boyle 
was partner in the firm of Boyle & Templeton, at Princeton, Illinois, 
until his death, November 26, 1850.  His wife died July 16, 1881.
   Edward T. Boyle was educated in Princeton, Illinois, and attended 
the college at that place about a year.  After his father's death, his 
mother removed to a farm upon which Edward worked until August 26, 
1863, when he married Sarah J. Hook, a native of Daviess County, 
Indiana.
   He then worked two years upon the farm which he owned in connection 
with his brother; then spent about three years in Dade County, MO., 
after which he went to La Salle County, Illinois, and bought a farm, 
which he owned until 1868.  He next came to this county and remained 
on his brother's farm near Lake Village a few years, when he came to 
this township and bought the farm of eighty acres upon which he now 
resides.  He has since added eighty acres, and it is well cultivated 
and improved.  Mr. Boyle was Township Trustee three terms, and is a 
Republican.  He has three children--Clarence O., Charles A. and Clara 
J.
