Notes

From: UnIllustrated History of Washington State, by Rev. H. K. Hines, D.D . pub-1894
S.V. Boyce, Sr., Friday Harbor, San Juan county, Washington, is o ne of the prosperous and wealthy farmers of this county. He was born i n Greene county, New York, January 28, 1829, son of John and Catherine (C obie) Boyce. He is one of a family of nine children, seven of whom are l iving. His early boyhood days were spent on his father's farm in New Yor k, and his education was received in the schools of that vicinity. Whe n he was twelve years old he went to Syracuse, New York, and entered upo n an apprenticeship to the trade of car-builder, remaining one year wit h the same man. In 1845 we find him in Kendall county, Illinois, where h e began working at the carpenters' trade and where he remained two years . From there he went to Shelby county, near Memphis, Tennessee, and fo r two years was employed as clerk in a grocery store. His next move wa s to New Orleans, Louisiana. There he worked at his trade a year and a h alf. In 1851 he set out for California, via the Isthmus of Panama, and i n due time landed at San Francisco .
Upon his arrival in California Mr. Boyce joined the throng of gold hunte rs and went to the mines, where he remained until his marriage, which eve nt occurred October 15, 1856, the lady of his choice being Lucinda E. Ste wart. She was born in Springfield, Illinois, in 1837, and in 1850 came w ith her parents across the plains from St. Louis to California. Her pare nts were Riley and Jane (Gentry) Stewart. Two years after their marriag e Mr. and Mrs. Boyce left California and came north to Victoria, Britis h Columbia, this being during the mining excitement on Fraser river in 18 58. The only sign of habitation at Victoria then was the Hudson's Bay Co mpany's stockade, all being enclosed and a guard placed at the gates. Up on their arrival they were obliged to sleep in tents, as hotel accommodat ions were at a premium. Mr. Boyce went to the Cariboo mines, leaving hi s family in Victoria, where they remained for two years. He joined the m in 1860, and on June 1 he and his family came to San Juan island, wher e the now abandoned town of San Juan is situated. Here he started a smal l store and traded with the Indians. The United States troops were stati oned at this point at that time, and, as only Government stores were allo wed on the island, he was ordered to close store. So he sold his littl e stock and took claim to a tract of land near the town. This was long b efore the island was surveyed. Before it was surveyed he sold out and mo ved to Victoria to educate his children, and there remained two years, i n the meantime having bought property in Victoria. He subsequently trade d his property for a farm on San Juan island and moved back here. He con tinued to keep his children in school, giving all of them the best of edu cational advantages the island afforded at that time. Since his return t o San Juan county he has devoted his attention to farming and stock-raisi ng. He owns one of the largest grain farms in the county, and is ranke d with the most prosperous men here .
Mr. Boyce has several times been elected Justice of the Peace. Hew as t he first County Sheriff and Assessor, filling that office after the surve y, the county being organized in 1873. Mrs. Boyce is the only white woma n now living of those who arrived on San Juan island on or before Jun e 1 1860, and made the island a permanent home. They have ten children l iving and one (Emma) dead. Their names are: Frank, Oren, John, Mrs. Alic e Sweeney, Mrs. Katie Anderson, William, Mrs. Addie Wold, Steven V., Mrs . Mable Wold, and Grace.
Mr. Boyce is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Rough and Ready Lodge, N o. 52, Nevada county, California.
