John Chester Boyd 83, a resident of Deming, N.M., entered eternal rest Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at the Advanced Care Hospital of Southern New Mexico in Las Cruces, N.M. John was born June 19, 1925 to Chester and Alice Boyd in Menoken, N.D. After his service in the United States Navy during WW II, he worked as an electrician in the Bismarck and Mandan North Dakota area. He also worked as a movie theater projectionist in Bismarck which started his avid interest in photography. Upon retirement, John and his wife Agnes moved to Deming, N.M. in 1986, where he became an active volunteer for the Deming Senior Citizens Center, helping to teach classes in silversmithing, lapidary, and photography, along with the garden club. John was very proud of his organic fruit orchard southwest of Deming, where he and Agnes worked tirelessly to create their oasis in the desert with numerous varieties of apples, pears, peaches and plums alongside their rose gardens, trees, and flowers.
