American missionary for the Episcopal Church.

Lived with her aunt and uncle Mary Ann (Boyd) Bostwick and Horatio Boswick in Bristol, Pennsylvania in 1880. Set out for her mission via San Francisco, stopping to visit her family in Illinois. She arrived at Shanghai and sojourned at St. John's College before settling in at Hankow.

Appointment of a Missionary
China – At their meeting on the 12th ult., the Foreign Committee, acting for the Missionary Bishop of Shanghai, were very glad to accomplish the appointment of Miss Elizabeth K. Boyd, as Missionary Teacher for Wuchang Station. Thus at last is filled the vacancy so often spoken of in these pages. Miss Boyd will act as “House-mother” of the Jane Bohlen Memorial School, be a companion to Miss Roberts, who will remain in charge of the educational department, and work in house-to-house visiting among the Chinese women. In a letter from the Rev. Mr. Sayres, lately received, he says that Mrs. Schereschewsky and Miss Roberts have been doing this last work with good results, as evidenced by the increased number of women in regular attendance upon Divine Service.
