-Oconto Falls friends were saddened this week to learn of the death of Miss Florence Boyce on April 6 at the Columbia Medical Center in New York City. Miss Boyce was born in Corinth, New York and came to Oconto Falls with her parents when an infant. Her parents are the late Albert and Hersa Remington Boyce, and her father was a superintendent of the Falls Manufacturing Company.

She attended the Oconto Falls schools and graduated from high school here in 1921. She became a nurse, receiving her training at Bellin Memorial Hospital in Green Bay. After a short period of private duty nursing in and around Oconto Falls, she went to new York City and was employed for several years in the Staten Island General Hospital. In 1929 she accepted a position in the Vanderbilt Clinic of the Columbia Medical Center, where she was employed until her lat illness.

Survivors are three sisters, Mrs. Mildred May of Dobbs Ferry, New York, Mrs. H.S. Lipman (Ruth Lipschutz) of Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, and Mrs. Arnold (Hersa) Plier of Wausau. Rites were held in the east, and Mr. and Mrs. Plier went by plane to New York. Miss Boyce has many friends here who are deeply grieved over her untimely passing. She was very popular and the Boyce family was held in the highest esteem.
