Brother Louis Boyle was born in Port Colborn, Canada on February 26, 1866 and is of Irish descent. He grew up on Port Colborn and in Watford, Canada leaving home when he was 15 to work in the mines in Colorado. He worked his way through school at Ann Arbor and found the money he had saved was insufficient to follow his first goal in an academic education and he switched to a law course, graduated in 1889 and was admitted to the bar in Michigan. He traveled to Fort Scott, Kansas where the members of the Democratic Party there elected him to Prosecutor of Warren County, Kansas and held that office for four years. He was then nominated for Attorney General for the State of Kansas and was elected in 1896. After serving his term in office he moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 1899 where he practiced law for the rest of his life with the only exception being a period when he practiced in Washington, DC. He was known as a skilled orator and was often called upon to speak at Democratic functions.
