Sending sympathy to Francis and others of the family: Having lived in Marshall-Putnam counties until moving to TN., my contacts with the family include work in 4-H, other departments and having taught in the McNabb-Magnolia-Swaney school system 3 years in the 40's, the Boyle family members have meant so much to the community and those who live and have lived there.

I am a former Putnam County resident and my father was also born in McNabb. Also being a legal secretary, Durley was a true legend to me. "They don't make them like that anymore." The angels have gained a new spokesperson, should they need one!

Durley was the consummate gentleman and scholar. We are all the poorer in his passing.
