Estelline people, practically all of whom knew and esteemed George Boyd, were horrified Wednesday morning to learn of his accidental death, which occurred while he was at work with Commissioner Weatherly's road crew on the Childress and Estelline road two miles east of town.
A concrete culvert had been completed the day previous and he was engaged in removing the wooden "form" from the inside when a cave-in from a high bank overhanging the culvert struck it and crushed the structure, catching him underneath. Willing hands immediately removed him from the debris and medical help summoned but he lived only a few minutes after being taken out.
Mr. Boyd and his family, a wife and little ten-year old boy, had only lived here a few months but previous to coming here he had lived for a number of years near Parnell and was well-known here as a representative citizen and a good man.
Mr. Boyd was a member of both the Masons and Woodmen and was buried with honors by these orders.
W. J. Boyd, father; E. C. Boyd, brother and W. P. Smith, brother-in-law, all of Lott, Texas were present at the funeral.
