The subject of this sketch was born in Memphis, Tennessee, September 28, 1866,
and is the second son of Peter D. and Euphemia Boyle. His father is a native of
Grennock, Scotland of Irish parents, and came to this country when nineteen
years of age. His mother was born in Glasgow, Scotland, of Scotch parents, and
is a third cousin to Robert Burns, Scotland's immortal bard. She came to this
country when four years of age. Our subject attended school in Memphis and
Forrest City about two years. His education is self-obtained, and he has filled
various positions of trust. He came to this city in 1875 from Memphis, and in
1881-2 he learned telegraphy, and took his first position in April, 1882, at
Blackfish, as operator for the old Memphis & Little Rock Railroad. He worked at
various stations for this and other railroads until March 1888, when he accepted
the agency for the Southern Express Company, which position he held until that
company withdrew from this territory in1892. He worked for several other
positions until he accepted the position as telegraph operator for the Forrest
City Cotton Exchange. Mr. Boyle was married on November 14, 1889 to Miss
Lucretia Hinton of this city. One child, Mary E. Boyle, has blessed this union.
