Boyle attended the Wesleyan (Methodist) Boys' High School in Freetown, and attended Zion Methodist Church, Wilberforce Street, a Settler church founded by the early African-American founders of the Colony of Sierra Leone and the settlement of Freetown. He was an ideological disciple of Edward Wilmot Blyden, a Caribbean pan-Africanist scholar who taught in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Education and medical career

Boyle obtained a scholarship and financial assistance to attend Howard University College of Medicine and qualified as a medical doctor. Boyle completed courses at Harvard Medical School and Meharry Medical College.

Boyle died in Baltimore, Maryland, on 21 November 1936 and was survived by his wife Bertha and daughter Leone B., Son’s Blyden and Mayfield Jr.
