"Maurice Boyle, pioneer resident of Escanaba and for many years employed by the North-Western Railway Company here, passed away last night at a local hospital after a brief critical illness. Mr. Boyle had not enjoyed robust health for some time and had been at the hospital for several weeks, but his condition was believed to be improving, when complications developed on Monday and his death followed last night. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Anderson & Buchanan where it will be prepared for burial and will be taken today to the home of Mrs. J. J. Brown, 516 South Twelfth street, where it will remain until the hour of the funeral. Funeral services will probably be conducted over the body at St. Patrick's church on Saturday morning. Mr. Boyle was born in Ireland and after spending some years at Beaver Island came to Escanaba 35 years ago and had since continuously made this city his home. He was 89 years of age and was held in the highest respect by all who knew him. He served throughout the Civil war with the forces of the Union and was an active member of C. E. Smith post, G. A. R. of this city. He is survived by three daughters and one son who are: Mrs. J. J. Brown and Mrs. P. E. Gannon of this city; Mrs. M. S. Schultek, of Milwaukee, and Owen Boyle of this city."

4. Dining In/Dining Out: A Navy Tradition
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq89-1.htm

Roots of the United States Navy Tradition
"The practice of formal dining-ins in ships was usually reserved for entertaining foreign officers and officials during port calls. In 1820, while conducting joint operations with some British ships, the officers of the USS Cyane had many exchanges of on-board dinners with their British counterparts. Clearly, the British introduced the formal ritualistic tradition of guest night to American Naval officers during such occasions. In 1853, Commodore Perry entertained dignitaries from the Lew Chew Islands aboard his flagship, Susquehanna. The evening may not have been the formal dining-in style we know today but full military courtesies were rendered to the guests including Marine escorts and a three gun salute. These famous dinner parties were enhanced by tie musical talents of the Marine Corps band. Admiral "Fighting" Bob Evans, in his autobiography, tells a story of a series of formal dinners in 1867, with the British in Hong Kong. Again, we can speculate that the ritualistic guest night procedure was followed by the British and the United States Naval officers reciprocated with an equally structured formal dinner."
