ISAAC SCOTT BOYD – The military funeral of Isaac Scott Boyd, World War veteran, Saturday afternoon, at Ardmore, was one of the most impressive ever seen in that section. Boyd was fatally injured while driving the chemical fire apparatus of Ardmore's volunteer fire department, when after accidently striking another machine, he turned the apparatus into a pole to avoid striking a woman and little child who were walking along the road. The procession was led buy the guarded colors and flags of the American Legion Posts of Ardmore, Springfield, Haverford township, and Manoa, followed by the firing squad of eight men from Springfield Post, Ardmore Post, No. 136, furnished the pallbearers. These were followed by a delegation from the local post, comprising almost its entire membership, the volunteer fire department, of which Boyd was a member, and a large detachment of the British World War Veterans' Post, of which he was also a member. The procession of marching men occupied a distance of about two blocks, while the procession of machines was about ten blocks long. "Taps" were sounded at the grave by a Boy Scout bugler of Ardmore Troop and Dixie D. Dryden. The echo by Daniel M. ??? both of Sgt. Alfred Stevenson Post No. 190, of Chester. - from an unspecified newspaper.
Every year, since his death, the Ardmore Fire Company holds an Annual Memorial Service for him on January 1st. As of today, he was the only fireman from the Ardmore Fire Company killed in the line of duty.
He was involved with the Bullock Sanderson Post No. 136 AL.
A Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God,
wherever flames may rage.
Give me strength to save some life
whatever be it's age.
Help me to embrace a child
before it is too late,
or save an older person
from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently to
put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling and
to give the best in me.
To guard my every neighbor and
protect his property.
And if according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
my children and wife.
