E. (Demaree) Boyle. Her family owned and operated a coal mine near Morton during the winter months from 1934 through 1945.

She attended the Morton School for the first nine years of schooling. The summer months were spent in Hudson. The last three years of high school were completed in Lander, where she was graduated in 1948.

She graduated from Barnes School of Commerce in Denver in November of 1949. She started work for the Bureau of Reclamation in Riverton in November 1949 as a clerk-stenographer. Over the next 36 years in that office, she advanced to the position of administrative officer and retired in 1986, when the Riverton office closed.

She married Austin John Feavel, Jr., in 1952, and they were divorced in 1964.

Ms. Boyle was a member of the Riverton Hoedowners square dance club for over 20 years and worked for the square dance caller and his wife, Johnny and Marjorie LeClair, for 40 years. She was a member of the community chorus and the Presbyterian church choir for many years.

Ms. Boyle was a member of the Riverton Presbyterian Church for 25 years and served as clerk of session for eight years. After her retirement, she joined St. Margaret's Catholic Church of Riverton in 1986 and was the bookkeeper for the Riverton, Dubois, Kinnear and Shoshoni Catholic churches for 12 years.

Her family said her hobbies were home decorating, traveling, needlepoint, sewing, photography, genealogy, and home computers. She completed a history of the town of Hudson and updated the Hudson cemetery records for posting on the internet.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond Boyle in 1985 and Leona Boyle in 1997 and by her only sister, Elizabeth L. Boyle in 1986.

She is survived by first cousins, Mary Ann (Gilbert) Rau, Phyllis (Swede) Quam and Jo Anne (Robert) Sterling, all of Lander, by seven first cousins outside of the Lander area and by many other cousins across the United States.
