He was reared on the home farm, and after his marriage resided on a farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania, later selling this property and purchasing a grist mill at Boyce Station, Allegheny County, there living from 1866 until his death, operating the mill and cultivating twenty-five acres of land on which the mill stood. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Boyce, then living in Washington County, recruited and organized Company K, First Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry, of which he was elected captain, only seeing three months of active service. He was a loyal adherent to Republican policies. He and his wife belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church, and he held membership in the Grand Army of the Republic.
