HUGH BOYLE born in Pennsylvania to John J. Boyle and his wife, the former Mary Harris. Various dates appear for his birth, with the 1900 Census stating October of 1845, but 1851 is probably a lot closer to the truth. He came to Camden in the 1860s. Hugh Boyle appears in Camden's North Ward in the 1870 Census, living with his sister Angeline and her husband Harry Carles. His mother and sister Mary were also at home. Soon after the Census enumeration he married Mary Eisenhart. She gave birth to a daughter, Ella in July of 1871. In April of 1876 another daughter Catherine (also known as Cassie and as Katie) arrived. The 1878 Camden City Directory lists him as a foreman working for the Knickerbocker Ice Company. The Boyles live at 3 Church Place, then moved to 533 Stevens Street in 1879. Hugh Boyle remained in the employ of Knickerbocker Ice until at least 1889. The Census of 1880 shows Hugh Boyle at 533 Stevens Street, working as a collector for an ice company, with his wife and daughters Ella, 9 and Catherine E. "Cassie", 4. A son, Walter, was born on December 30, 1882. By 1885 The Boyles had moved to 567 Carman Street. In 1887 daughter Ella Boyle married railroad engineer George M. Wilkinson. The 1887-1888 City Directory has the Boyles at 589 Bridge Avenue where they remained at least into the following year. By 1891 Hugh Boyle and family had moved to 563 Bridge Avenue. He had taken employ with the bottling firm of Berry and Rudderow, 429 Cherry Street, as a driver. The Boyle family remained at 563 Bridge Avenue as late as the summer of 1900. Daughter Catherine married Theodore Price in 1899, sadly, Hugh Boyle's wife, Mary Eisenhart Boyle, died on November 25, 1899. On February 28, 1896 Hugh Boyle was injured when the wagon he was driving was hit by a trolley car belonging to the Camden Horse Railroad. Hugh Boyle sued, and was awarded $900 in October of 1896. During the 1890s Hugh Boyle became involved in politics as a Republican where he lived in the Ninth Ward. On August 1, 1898 Hugh Boyle was appointed to the Camden Police Department by Mayor Cooper B. Hatch. He served at City Hall as the hall officer until his promotion to Captain in 1899. On February 17, 1899 Mayor Cooper B. Hatch elevated Hugh Boyle to Captain, replacing H. Frank Pettit. This was one of many moves by Mayor Hatch, who had been elected the previous spring, to reform the police department by promoting the capable and bringing new men and putting them into command positions. These moves included the promotion of John Foster to Chief of Police and the hiring and the promotion to Captain of Arthur Stanley. The 1900 Census lists Hugh Boyle at 563 Bridge Avenue with his three children and son-in-law Theodore J. Price, a railroad engineer. Son Walter Boyle was working as a day laborer, he later joined his brothers-in-law on the railroad. Ella Boyle Wilkinson and Walter Boyle are also listed at 654 Washington Street, i.e., they were counted twice in the Census. By the time the 1901 Camden City Directory was compiled, Hugh Doyle, daughter Katherine and son-in-law Theodore Price had moved to 593 Carman Street. Hugh Boyle moved to 594 Carman Street before the end of 1904, his daughter and her husband stayed there to at least 1931. Around 1906 Hugh Boyle married Mrs. Sarah Frances "Sallie" Worrell. His mother, Mary Harris Boyle died in 1909 and was buried at Evergreen Cemetery. Captain Boyle fell seriously ill in the summer of 1917. His illness and advancing years caused him to file retirement, effective January 1, 1918. Hugh Boyle's wife Sarah F. "Sallie" Boyle died in May of 1918 and was buried at Evergreen Cemetery. He moved in with his daughter, Ella and son-in-law George M. Wilkinson at 654 Washington Street, and was there through January of 1920.
