Acquaintances of Mr. Frank Boyce were very much surprised to learn, early Friday morning, that he had passed away as a result of heart failure, when apparently enjoying the best of health.

Frank Marion Boyce came to San Juan Island with his parents at the age of eight years and had made his home here ever since.
He was married to Miss Sarah Simpson of Victoria, B. C., July 29, 1874, and had he lived they would have celebrated their golden wedding July of next year.

Earl Baker of Port Angeles; Mrs. W. A. Clement of Friday Harbor; and two sons, Ralph V. and Marion of Friday Harbor. There are also ten grandchildren.
