Joyce was born in Emmetsburg in 1877. After completing elementary and
high school education he enrolled at the University of Michigan and
graduated from law school in 1899. He began the practice of law in
Missoula, Mont., with Edward C. Mulroney, a native of Fort Dodge. In
1910 he came to Fort Dodge and lived at various places before building
the North Seventeenth Street home.
During his years in Fort Dodge Joyce practiced law with B. J. Price and
B. B. Burnquist for eight years and then moved to Minneapolis to accept
the M. & St. L. legal post. In 1932 Joyce was appointed by President
Herbert Hoover as a judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals. After 17
years as a jurist he retired in 1949. He died in Minneapolis in 1956 at
age 79. Mrs. Joyce died in 1962. Joyce was a nephew of M. F. Healy, T.
D. Healy and Robert Healy, widely-known Fort Dodge attorneys.

Dr. and Mrs. E. F. Beeh, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Price, Chris Kulild, Eugene
Leachman, Robert L. Mitchell and Ralph Humphreys.
THE HAUGEN HOME
This Fifth Avenue North home dates back to 1893 when it was built by
Carl C. Haugen, a Fort Dodge businessman for many years. Located at 1249
5th Ave. N., the house has been remodeled in recent years and now has
first and second floor apartments. Present owners are Mr. and Mrs.
Edward N. Richardson, 309 N. 18th St., who rent out the apartments.
The house has white asphalt shingle siding and a brown roof. Entrance to
the upstairs apartment is by way of an enclosed private stairway.
Originally the house had a living room, parlor, dining room, kitchen and
pantry on the first floor; four bedrooms and bath on the second floor.
When the house was remodeled the first floor was made into a one bedroom
apartment with bath, living room, dining room and kitchen. The upstairs
has a two-bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen and bath.
Carl C. Haugen came to Iowa from his native Norway in 1884, settled in
Bode and then moved to Fort Dodge in 1886 where he began work as a
barber. After several years he went into partnership with D. A. Noah in
a large six-chair barber shop in the basement of the original First
National Bank at Central Avenue and Sixth Street.
When the First National Bank Building was erected at Central Avenue and
Seventh Street in 1908 Haugen opened a new six-chair shop in the
building basement. He continued in the barbering business until 1945
when he retired and sold the shop. A brother, Martin C. Haugen, was with
him in the barber shop until 1939.
