George Boyle, son of Charles E Boyle and Mary A 
Hendickson Boyle was born in Uniontown, May 12, 1863.
    George Boyle received his rudimentary education in the 
schools of Uniontown, prepared for college at Pottstown, 
Penna, and entered Kenyon College, Ohio, but on account of 
ill health was compelled to give up his college course after 
attending two years.
    He was compelled to relinquish all ideas of a 
professional life, and to seek work more congenial to his 
health; so he engaged in farming.  In 1883 he took charge of 
a farm in Menallen township and remained on it until 1886 
when he removed into what is known as "the Bend" in Luzerne 
township, where he had previously purchased a farm of two 
hundred acres of good land, upon which he has since erected 
a very fine house and barn on a high bluff that overlooks 
the Monongahela river and commands a magnificent view of the 
surrounding country.  Mr Boyle has a natural taste for 
farming, and especially interests himself in the breeding of 
fine stock.
    In 1883 he was married to Margaret Richards of 
Uniontown.  Their union has been blessed with four children: 
Mary Boyle, Lucy Boyle, Helen Boyle and Catherine Boyle.
