THE DEATH OF
W. C. SHE
I
W. C. Boyce, who was taken from
his cabin on Ninth street Sunday
to the White Pass hospital, suf
fering from an acu*e attack of
pneumonia, died this morning at
4 o'clock. At the tjme of his
death he was past 70 years of age.
Funeral servic-s will be held at
the M. E church on next Sunday
at 2 p. m.
While Mr. Boyce for many years
prior to his death had been a fam
iliar figure around SJsagway, few,
if any, of the people here know any
thing of his private affairs or where
his relatives, if he had any living,
reside.
In the early days of the Klon
dike rush he had a twin brother
with him, who was said by those
who knew, to have been a per
fect image of him, but this broth
er early succumbedd to the hard
ships of the north and now lies
burled in the old cemetery at the
foot of Reed's falls. He is also
said to have a sister living in Chi
cago, but this report ha*, not so far
been verified.
Mr. Boyce wa3 a hard working
man and very highly esteemed by
all those with whom he came in
contact. Notwithstanding the la
borious calling which he chose to
follow ho was a man of education,
and in the little cab'n in which he
has lived for years is a carefully
selected library of the works of
standard authors.
From Mr. Boyoe's industrious and
frugal habits it was generally sup
posed that he had quite a sum of
mousy on hand, bui. up to the
present writilng only have been
found.
It is thought probable that a
good many of the people around
town for whom he has been work
ing may be indebted to him iu
small sums and it is earnestly re
quested if there be any such that
thy will come forward and leave
the amounts they owe- in the hands
of Marshal Frank Page, by whom
the money so paid in will be used
to defray the expenses of the fun
eral.
The remains of the deceased
were removed from the W. P. hos
pital to the L. A. Harrison under
taking parlors at an early hour this
morning.
