ENGAGING COMMUNITIES-INSPIRING CHANGE-TRANSFORMING LIVES
The History of the Maple Tree House Shelter
John and Kazuko Boyle were real
icons of the close knit community as
well as the surrounding communities
of Payette & Washington Counties.
The Maple Tree Fruit Stand they
owned and operated for many years,
from their front yard, was visited by
thousands yearly. They made friends
with many people throughout the
years.
In 1998, Kazuko befriended a
young woman from Japan. This
young woman who was married to a
resident of Payette turned to the
Boyles for help to escape her abusive
marriage. With help from the Boyles
this young lady and her toddler son
were able to return to Japan and the
safety of her family. In August, John
and Kazuko Boyle were found
brutally murdered in their home.
The husband of the young Japanese
woman was arrested and indicted for
the murders. For hotly debated
reasons, the man was acquitted of the
crime and promptly left the state for
a location in the Midwest.
In 2002, the surviving members
of the Boyle family donated their
parents property (land) to ROSE
Advocates with the hope that a
shelter/transitional housing would be
constructed in memory of the help
they gave to a young victim of
domestic violence.
It is ROSE Advocates wish
to bring some good from the tragic
death of John and Kazuko Boyle by
making a dream come true. With
the construction of a shelter for
abused adults and children on the
Maple Tree property, ROSE
Advocates hopes that it will bring
long and overdue closure for the
Boyle family as well as for the
community of Payette, Idaho.
Through long-term support
and services families devastated by
domestic violence will go on to live
safe and successful lives, free from
abuse. Putting an end to the cycle
of violence and keeping it from
continuing on through generations.
Robert’s Room
In 2009 Robert Manwill’s body was
found in an irrigation canal. He was 8
years old when he died from injuries
to his head and chest. His mother was
sentenced to 25 years for aiding and
abiding second-degree murder. Her
boyfriend was sentenced to life in
prison without possibility of parole
for first-degree murder.
In the midst of this tragedy
ROSE Advocates was contacted by
concerned community members
who saw the need of education about
abuse in their community. ROSE
Advocates Maple Tree House Shelter
children’s room will be dedicated as
Robert’s Room. Katy Belanger, along
with other local artists, are donating
artwork to be sold. The money raised
will be put in a scholarship fund for
Robert Manwill’s graduating class.
