A Willard J. Boyce is listed on the World War I Veterans plaque at Church and River Streets.
In 1927, Boyce was trampled by a heavy draft horse at Saranac Inn, where he lived. He owned a race horse named Frida K., a black mare who did well in local races.
He hanged himself in a garage under the stables at the Saranac Inn. He had become despondent over the course of a long illness (tuberculosis?).
