Mr. Boyd was born on February 4, 1867, in Alabama, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wylie Boyd, and moved to Chandler when he was 18 years of age.
He received his education at Old Omen College, near Troup, and taught school for a number of years in this county. He later went into the lumber business, and continued that business until two years ago. At the time of his death, he operated a farm and a ranch near Chandler.
He and Mrs. Boyd, the former Miss Ann Chandler, were married at Chandler 57 years ago.
He was member of the Methodist Church.
Surviving are two sons, Harry Boyd Of Waco and A.D. Boyd of Chandler, both former county attorneys of Henderson County; two daughters, Mrs. Bessie Boyd of Huntsville and Mrs. W.A. Horton of Los Angeles, California; one sister, Mrs. Mollie Smith of Houston, Mississippi; and one brother, Will Boyd of San Antonio.
