- Joseph Frank BOYLEN, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
M. BOYLEN, 628 Chestnut street,
- passed away at the Mercy hospital at ten minutes to eight
Saturday evening after undergoing a serious operation for appendicitis.
His death comes as a shock to his many friends as up to a recent
date he was apparently in good health. Joseph BOYLEN was
born in this city April 10, 1889 and had been a resident here
during his entire life. He attended the graded and high school
of this city and was very well known.
- Mr. BOYLEN was a devout member of the St. Patrick's
Catholic church and for the past five
- years he has served as an usher at the church. He wsa also
a loyal member of the Carroll Council Knights of Columbus lodge
in which he held the office of Deputy Grand Knight. He was a
member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and the Ancient Order
of Hibernians. His passing away will leave a sad vacancy in the
ranks of these organizations. For the past number of years he
has been employed at the local Post Office and while in service
there he has been a faithful and ardent worker for the government.
- Besides his grief stricken parents he leaves to mourn his
death one brother, Edward M. of
- Poughkeepsie, New York; one sister, Mrs. George H. GAHAGAN
of Beloit and many friends and relatives. Funeral services will
be held from the St. Patrick's church Tuesday morning at nine
o'clock. Interment will be made in the Mt. Olivet cemetery.[p.

- DEATH COMES TODAY TO MRS. F. F. LEWIS
- One of Janesville's Most Beloved Women Passes Away at
9:30 O'clock This Morning.
- After months of weary suffering, death came to the relief
of Mrs. F. F. LEWIS at 9:30 o'clock
- this morning and the tired spirit was at rest. Mrs. LEWIS
was sixty-four years old. Two years ago last spring she returned
hurriedly from South America, with her husband, and entered St.
Mary's hospital for an operation, which at the time was not considered
serious.
- She made rapid recovery and soon seemed as well as ever,
but the seeds of cancer developed,
- and in spite of all that skill and loving care could accomplish,
the frail tenement was unequal to the struggle.
- Mrs. LEWIS led a busy, active life. She possessed
an absorbing passion for music, was a fine
- pianist and organist, and prominent in the musical circles
of the city. The home, established forty years ago, was her paradise.
It was noted for hospitality and good cheer, and her presence
was like a ray of sunshine. Next to her home she prized her church,
where she presided as organist until failing strength compelled
her to sacrifice the task which to her was a pleasure.
- The daily record of every life is its best eulogy and when
a good life goes out but little can be
- added to the history for words are meaningless in the presence
of great sorrow. Mrs. LEWIS was a good woman and the little
world, in which she lived, is better because of her life and
influence.
- She was more than a good wife becuase she was a companion.
Her tastes and ambitions were in
- harmony with her surroundings, and the man who made the long
journey with her found her a comrade as well as a helpmate.
- On the death of her youngest daughter, a few years ago, her
mother heart prompted her to open
- her home to two nieces, Ada and Irene LEWIS, who are
still members of the family.
- Mrs. LEWIS' maiden name was M. Victorine ROCKWELL.
She was born at Gilbertsville,
- New York, came west when a girl, was married in Whitewater
to F. F. LEWIS, in 1877, and came to Janesville ten years
later, where she has since resided.
- The immediate family remaining are her husband, her daughter,
Mrs. J. L. WILCOX; a sister,
- Mrs. DEWEY of Chicago; and Ada and Irene LEWIS.
- The funeral will be held at the home, 115 Jackman street,
Wednesday afternoon, at four o'clock,
- Rev. Ewing, assited by Dr. Beaton, officiating. [p. 5,

- Dwight E. Puffer
- Word has been received in this city of the death of Dwight
E. PUFFER, aged 66 years. He
- passed away Saturday evening after a severe illness of several
weeks. Mr. PUFFER was for many years a resident of Janesville
and had a wide circle of acquaintances in Rock county. He was
a member of the Odd Fellows' order. Fifteen years ago he went
to Minneapolis where he engaged in the manufacturing business.
