    Notes 
    • John Francis Boyle was a secretary and treasurer for the Junior Lodge and Maude was a secretary and treasurer for the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was at one of these meetings that John and Maude met (Howard Francis Boyle).
      DJS - I have not been able to prove either of these services. I did check with the nearest chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and they were unable to find Maude listed as a DAR member. She could have performed a clerical job and not been a member.
      30 July 2011: I have still never proven the services mentioned above however, further research uncovered that Maude was a direct descendant of at least two Revolutionary War soldiers who are recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Their names and DAR Ancestor numbers are:
      Francis Robinson: DAR# A097441
      John Barnes: DAR# A006344
      5 May 2012: Earlier in the year, 2012, I was inducted into the Sons of the American Revolution based upon the service of John Barnes (DJS).

  • Notes 
    • My grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, once told me this story:
      Maude had a large dark birthmark on her elbow. Maude's mother, Kate Skinner, was pregnant when she saw a drunken black women at a saloon. Kate, would tell Maude that she got the birthmark from the drunk woman.
