                Frank L Boyce (M)
                b. 7 March 1854, d. 19 December 1896

                     Frank L Boyce
                FRANK L. BOYCE.

                In December, 1896, Sioux Falls was called upon to mourn the loss
                of one of her early residents, Frank L. Boyce-a man who left the
                impress of his ability, insight and public spirit upon the political,
                professional and social life of the city. He was one of the leading
                attorneys of Sioux Falls and had made his ability and ambition public
                assets through long and honorable public service.

                He was born in Dane county, Wisconsin, March 7, 1854, and he
                spent his childhood there, working upon the home farm and attending
                district school. When he was fourteen years of age he entered the State
                University at Madison, Wisconsin, where he took a complete collegiate
                course, graduating in 1873. Immediately afterward he entered the law
                department of the university and received his degree in 1874. On the
                20th of June of that year he was admitted to the bar by the supreme
                court of Wisconsin and immediately afterward entered the law office of
                Barker, Buell & Wait of Chicago, where he remained until September,
                1875. He was then, upon examination by the supreme court, admitted to
                the practice of law in Illinois and engaged in professional work in
                Chicago until May, 1878.

                At that time Mr. Boyce came to Sioux Falls on a visit and was so
                well pleased with Dakota and impressed with its future possibilities
                that he concluded to make this city his future home. He returned to
                Chicago and after finishing up his business there removed to Sioux
                Falls, where in the following October he opened a law office. In March,
                1879, he formed a partnership with John Bippus under the firm name of
                Bippus & Boyce, an association which continued until August, 1881.
                Following this Mr. Boyce was alone in practice until late in the year
                1883, when he admitted his brother Jesse W. to a partnership, the firm
                being Boyce & Boyce. In the spring of 1884 the firm of Boyce, Noyes &
                Boyce was established and this continued until January, 1886, when T.
                W. Noyes removed to Washington, D. C. Following this the firm of Boyce
                & Boyce was reestablished and continued one of the leading law firms of
                the city.

                Mr. Boyce was known as a most studious, painstaking and
                conservative lawyer and in his professional capacity was connected with
                many of the most important cases heard in the courts of the state. In
                addition to his professional prominence he was also well known in
                political affairs and was entrusted by his fellow citizens with various
                positions of responsibility. In 1879 he was elected secretary of the
                board of education and in 1883 was made alderman from the third ward.
                He was a capable and conscientious official and his political following
                grew rapidly. In 1894 he was elected senator from Minnehaha county upon
                the republican ticket and served in this capacity with credit and
                ability, being known as one of the most industrious members of the
                state assembly. He brought to the discharge of his duties careful and
                conscientious regard for the welfare of the state and a great deal of
                important legislation bears the stamp of his influence and activity.

                In 1880 Mr. Boyce was united in marriage to Miss Maude W. Rouse,
                of Lennox, South Dakota, a daughter of Dr. W. H. Rouse. She is now a
                resident of Sioux Falls. To them were born three children, namely:
                Jessie W., a graduate of and now a teacher in the University of
                Minnesota; Leonard F., of Sioux Falls, who is a graduate of the
                University of Minnesota and one of the proprietors of the Sioux Falls
                Construction Company. of which he is the secretary and assistant
                manager; and Arthur James, a student in the University of Minnesota.

                During the summer of 1896 Mr. Boyce, being in ill health, went to
                his old home in Wisconsin in order to take a much needed rest for a few
                weeks. Instead of recuperating he became more enfeebled and on the 19th
                of December, 1896, he died at the home of his parents. His remains were
                brought to Sioux Falls and interred in Mount Pleasant cemetery. His
                death was widely and deeply mourned not only by the members of the
                legal fraternity and his official associates but by the many warm
                friends to whom his upright character had so greatly endeared him. He was born on 7 March 1854. He married Maude Winona Rouse, daughter of Dr. William Henry Rouse and Emily Adeline Comstock, in 1880. Frank L Boyce died on 19 December 1896 at age 42.

                                      REUBEN J. EASTMAN, an honored pioneer settler of Alpena township,
                                      Jerauld county, South Dakota, and one of the brave boys in blue during
                                      the Civil war, was born in Madock, Canada, in 1845. His mother was born
                                      in the same country. but her father was a native of New York and her
                                      mother of Ireland, while the father of our subject, was born in New
                                      York, and his parents were natives of Vermont. The father was engaged
                                      in merchandising in Canada during the early life of our subject, but
                                      when the latter was a lad of eight years the family removed to a farm
                                      in New York state. After spending three years there, they went to
                                      Illinois, which was their home for seven years.

                                      While in Illinois, our subject enlisted in the fall of 1861, at the age
                                      of eighteen years, in Company K, Thirty-fourth Illinois Volunteer
                                      Infantry, and joined his regiment in Kentucky. His first real battle
                                      was the second day of the engagement at Pittsburg Landing, which was
                                      followed by the battles of Corinth, Murfreesboro and Chattanooga. Late
                                      in the fall of 1863, he re-enlisted, and subsequently was with Sherman
                                      on his march to the sea and up through the Carolinas to Washington, D.
                                      C., where he took part in the grand review. He was appointed color
                                      bearer at Jonesboro, N. C., in which engagement the flag staff was shot
                                      off and thirteen bullet holes made in the flag, while our subject's
                                      clothes were pierced in many places. At one time his pocket-book was
                                      hit by a ball, which fortunately glanced, so that he was not injured.

                                      During his absence the family had removed to Iowa, and Mr. Eastman
                                      joined them there at the close of the war, arid engaged in farming in
                                      that state upon rented land for some time. In 1866 he married Miss
                                      Elizabeth Foss, who was born in Wisconsin and reared on her father's
                                      farm. They now have eight children and about the same number of
                                      grandchildren.

                                      Mr. Eastman engaged in farming in Tama county, Iowa, for fifteen years.
                                      His first purchase consisted of a forty-acre tract of prairie land, to
                                      which he added until he had two hundred acres with a small creek
                                      running through it. He raised plenty of small fruit, besides other farm
                                      products. On selling his place in 1882, he came to Jerauld county,
                                      South Dakota, and located on the southwest quarter of section 35,
                                      Alpena township, there being at that time no buildings of any kind
                                      within ten miles of the place; there were also no roads and lumber had
                                      to be hauled from Letcher. Our subject and Mr. McRoberts made the first
                                      road from this section of the country to that place, marking it off
                                      with laths, and it was used for many years.

                                      The fall of his arrival Mr. Eastman erected his present residence and
                                      also built a shed. One of the largest prairie fires in the history of
                                      the country occurred in the spring of 1 888, destroying for our subject
                                      sheds, barns, machinery, four sets of harness, one horse, hogs and
                                      sixty tons of hay; and in a blizzard that occurred the same year he
                                      lost a few head of cattle. The first year spent in this state he burned
                                      hay for fuel. At one time he sent his son to Mitchell to buy coal, but
                                      he could only secure five hundred pounds, and for this he paid thirteen
                                      dollars. While away a storm came up and the boy was obliged to stay in
                                      Mitchell three days. Mr. Eastman is now the owner of five hundred and
                                      sixty acres, a part of which is fenced, and two hundred acres are under
                                      a high state of cultivation, while one hundred and twenty acres are
                                      used as pasture. There is a good well of water on the place, with a
                                      windmill attached, and a fine set of farm buildings. Our subject
                                      follows general farming and stock raising, and has a pure-blooded
                                      Hereford bull, forty head of cattle, and a drove of thoroughbred Jersey
                                      red hogs. He is also interested in the Alpena creamery and is a
                                      stockholder in the Farmers' elevator at Alpena.

                                      Mr. Eastman has borne an active and prominent part in the upbuilding
                                      and development of the county, and assisted in its organization. He was
                                      elected county co~nmissioner in 1887 and served in that office for
                                      three years, and was the first school clerk in Alpena township, which
                                      position he filled for seven years. Politically he is a Republican, and
                                      socially is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic.

                                      hit by a ball, which fortunately glanced, so that he was not injured.

                                      During his absence the family had removed to Iowa, and Mr. Eastman
                                      joined them there at the close of the war, arid engaged in farming in
                                      that state upon rented land for some time. In 1866 he married Miss
                                      Elizabeth Foss, who was born in Wisconsin and reared on her father's
                                      farm. They now have eight children and about the same number of
                                      grandchildren.

                                      Mr. Eastman engaged in farming in Tama county, Iowa, for fifteen years.
                                      His first purchase consisted of a forty-acre tract of prairie land, to
                                      which he added until he had two hundred acres with a small creek
                                      running through it. He raised plenty of small fruit, besides other farm
                                      products. On selling his place in 1882, he came to Jerauld county,
                                      South Dakota, and located on the southwest quarter of section 35,
                                      Alpena township, there being at that time no buildings of any kind
                                      within ten miles of the place; there were also no roads and lumber had
                                      to be hauled from Letcher. Our subject and Mr. McRoberts made the first
                                      road from this section of the country to that place, marking it off
                                      with laths, and it was used for many years.

                                      The fall of his arrival Mr. Eastman erected his present residence and
                                      also built a shed. One of the largest prairie fires in the history of
                                      the country occurred in the spring of 1 888, destroying for our subject
                                      sheds, barns, machinery, four sets of harness, one horse, hogs and
                                      sixty tons of hay; and in a blizzard that occurred the same year he
                                      lost a few head of cattle. The first year spent in this state he burned
                                      hay for fuel. At one time he sent his son to Mitchell to buy coal, but
                                      he could only secure five hundred pounds, and for this he paid thirteen
                                      dollars. While away a storm came up and the boy was obliged to stay in
                                      Mitchell three days. Mr. Eastman is now the owner of five hundred and
                                      sixty acres, a part of which is fenced, and two hundred acres are under
                                      a high state of cultivation, while one hundred and twenty acres are
                                      used as pasture. There is a good well of water on the place, with a
                                      windmill attached, and a fine set of farm buildings. Our subject
                                      follows general farming and stock raising, and has a pure-blooded
                                      Hereford bull, forty head of cattle, and a drove of thoroughbred Jersey
                                      red hogs. He is also interested in the Alpena creamery and is a
                                      stockholder in the Farmers' elevator at Alpena.

                                      Mr. Eastman has borne an active and prominent part in the upbuilding
                                      and development of the county, and assisted in its organization. He was
                                      elected county co~nmissioner in 1887 and served in that office for
                                      three years, and was the first school clerk in Alpena township, which
                                      position he filled for seven years. Politically he is a Republican, and
                                      socially is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was born on 4 May 1844 at Madoc, Ontario, Canada. He was the son of Ellis Maxham Eastman and Lodema Phillips. Reuben Justin Eastman married Francis Elizabeth Foss, daughter of (?) Foss and (?) Mary, on 12 November 1865 at Fayette Co, IA. Reuben Justin Eastman died on 6 August 1915 at Lawrence, Kansas, at age 71.
