Sidney [Delaware Co., NY]:  The many friends of Mrs. LaSira Boyce, wife of Frank Boyce of Sidney, were saddened Friday morning as they learned of her sudden death.   Mrs. Boyce had not been quite as well as usual for a few days and the doctor was called on Thursday, but her condition was nothing alarming, as she was about her home as usual.  Friday morning Mr. Boyce discovered her breathing was not natural and she lived only a few minutes after awakening.  Mrs. Boyce was born in the state of Illinois September 28, 1872, and had been married 31 years.  She had been a resident of Sidney for the past 16 years and had made many friends here during the time.  She is survived by her husband, one daughter, Ethel, an aged father, Thomas Drake, two brothers, Frank and Merritt Drake, and a sister, Mrs. Dan Davis.  Her death is particularly sad as the daughter, Ethel, is an invalid and has been confined to her bed most of the time for four years past.  Owing to this, the funeral was private, only relatives and a few friends being present. Rev. T.A. Rich officiated at the funeral, speaking words of comfort, and Mrs. Ethel Case and Mrs. Hare sang "In the Garden" at the request of the daughter.  Mrs. Boyce was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Sidney and of the Daughters of Veterans.  Burial was in Prospect Hill cemetery [Sidney, NY].  The sympathy of nearly every home in Sidney goes out to the afflicted family.  Miss Ethel Boyce will be taken to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Davis, in Binghamton, where she will be tenderly cared for--Oneonta Star.  Miss LaSira Drake, before her marriage to Mr. Frank Boyce was a resident of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] and attended school here.  She lived in the family of the late Dr. R.D.L. Evans.  [Bainbridge Republican, Dec. 15, 1927]
