Biography
Joyce was born near Andover, England to Charles Joyce and Martha E. Grist Joyce.[4] At the age of six, in 1836, he immigrated to the United States with his parents, who settled in Waitsfield, Vermont.[5]
He attended Waitsfield Academy and Northfield Academy before entering Newbury Seminary.[6] He was a page in the Vermont House of Representatives for three sessions.[7] While studying law, Joyce taught school to support himself. He was admitted to the bar in 1852. He began the practice of law in Northfield, Vermont in 1855.[8]
Joyce spent one year as assistant state librarian, then two years as the state librarian.[9] He served as the district attorney for Washington County in 1857 and 1858.[10]
When the American Civil War broke out, he served in the Union Army as major and lieutenant colonel of the Second Vermont Volunteers.[11] After the war he resumed his legal practice in Rutland, Vermont and entered politics, serving as a member of the Vermont House of Representatives from 1869 until 1871.[12] He was the speaker in 1870 and 1871.[13]
Joyce was elected as a Republican candidate to the Forty-fourth Congress and to the three succeeding Congresses, serving from March 4, 1875 until March 3, 1883.[14] He was not a candidate for renomination in 1882. After leaving office he again resumed his legal practice in Rutland, Vermont.[15]
He retired from his legal practice in 1895.[16] Joyce resided in Pittsfield, Vermont until his death on November 22, 1916. He is interred in Evergreen Cemetery in Rutland, Vermont.[17]
