Mrs. Anna Boyd, wife of Edward M. Boyd, passed away at the family home in this city at 6:15 o'clock, Tuesday evening. Her death marked the end of a very long illness, during which her many friends continued to hope that the malady which assailed her, might yet be conquered and that she might be spared for many years of useful life. That such should not be the case, brought sorrow to the hearts of all and her passing is mourned deeply by all who know her and valued at their true worth all her fine womanly qualities.
The deceased, who was born in Brownville, February 29, 1864, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Dye, pioneer residents of the county. Her youth was spent in Brownville and on a farm near Nemaha. The Dye family was a family of musicians and had a large part in the laying of the foundation for the splendid degree of musical culture which exists in this community at the present time. James Dye organized the first band in the county, and a concert company composed entirely of members of the Dye family gained wide popularity because of the fine quality of their music. The deceased shared fully in the talent which distinguished the family, and her home advantages were supplemented by a course at the Chicago conservatory of music and she developed into a pianist of marked abilities. Upon returning to Nemaha county she engaged in teaching music for a number of years with fine success.
On October 27, 1891, she was united in marriage to Mr. E. M. Boyd in this city. Until recent years when her health began to fail Mrs. Boyd had a very large part in the social and cultural life of the community. She was an active and devout member of the Episcopal church and her Christian life was very beautiful. As a charter member of the Mental Culture club she brought into the club work inspiration of intellectual attainment and earnestness of purpose and the co-operation in promoting the aims of the club was of inestimable value to her fellow workers.
To her three sons she was a most devoted mother. She gave to them all that the best of maternal influence can give making freely all the sacrifices and bestowing upon them all the devotion that exemplifies mother love in its highest form. She was spared to see the two older sons making for themselves marks of distinction in the world of men and the youngest started along the path that had been followed by their brothers. These sons are Robert Boyd, a civil engineer and graduate of Princeton and now employed by the Department of Public Works in the development of highway projects; Edward Boyd, a graduate of Yale and now attending Columbia Law School, and Carson Boyd, who is a student at Mercersburg Academy, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, where both his brothers were prepared for college. Besides her husband and three sons, Mrs. Boyd is survived by one half sister, Mrs. Eleanor Mitchell, of San Diego, California.
About two years ago the condition of Mrs. Boyd's health became such that it was thought that a change of climate might be of permanent benefit, so she went to San Diego, California, to be with her father, James Dye at Dye Villa, one of the show places of San Diego. For a time it appeared as though the hopes for results would be attained, but the benefits were early but temporary and finally the death of her father, which occurred about six months ago, so effected her that it became evident that there could be but little hope for an improvement and two months ago she was brought back to her home in Auburn. Here among those who had known and loved her for so many years; among the associations which had been hers since childhoo, she passed away.
In the hour of sorrow, the members of the family have the deep sympathy of friends. She will not be forgotten, for her life was not of the kind that ends when the eyes close and the heart ceased to function and the last breath is drawn. She will live in the memory of husband and children and friends,
and may the memory of her life well lived be to them all a source of consolation, which shall rest upon their aching hearts like a benediction and bring to their sorrowing spirits that peace which the world cannot give.
The funeral services will be held from the Episcopal church at 10:30 o'clock, Saturday morning and interment will be in Sheridan cemetery.
