Edward M. Boyd Passed Away at Lincoln Sanitarium - Monday Morning After Long Illness Passing Marks End of Useful Life and Brings Deep Sorrow.
Edward M. Boyd, passed away at the Lincoln Sanitarium at 9:45 o'clock Monday morning. When Mr. Boyd first became ill some six months ago he was taken to the Sanitarium where it was confidently expected that with proper care and treatment his health would be restored and he would be able to resume once more his life of activity and usefulness in this community.
During the long months that followed, every recourse known to medical science was resorted to in his behalf and to this was added the most tender of nursing and care, but the malady from which he suffered gradually encroached upon his strength and there came a time when his strong constitution could no longer hold its own; when his remarkable vitality was no longer equal to the demands made upon it and then the long fight was over and a life of real usefulness had reached its end.
During his long illness the friends in the community where so many of the years of his life had been passed and where he had exerted so strong on influence along many lines, never ceased to hope that he might be spared and that he might come back to again take up the life work which he had been compelled by illness to lay aside. It was with the sincerest sorrow, therefore, that they learned that their hopes had been in vain and that it was only the inanimate form that was to be returned to them.
In every community there are certain outstanding men - men to whom others naturally look for leadership and counsel. Such a position cannot be attained by personal effort - it comes with the natural development of inherent trait of character. Such a man was Edward M. Boyd.
The deceased was born in Upton, Franklin county, Pennsylvania, May 4, 1857 and was the son of Robert J. Boyd, whose birth had occured at the same place. His ancestors were among the early settlers of Pennsylvania and many of them had filled prominent places in the affairs of the commonwealth and had been leaders when leadership was most needed in the building up and developing of that wide expanse of territory that was afterwards to become one of the greated of the states of the Union. It was from such an ancestry that he inherited those strong traits of character that were to to manifest themselves in his own life work. He grew to young manhood at the place of his birth, and was educated at Mercersburg college, where he graduated with the class of 1879. He prepared himself for the practice of law and was admitted to the bar of Franklin county, Pennsylvania.
In the spring of 1882 he came to Auburn and that same year was admitted to the bar here. He soon afterwards became identified with the Carson National bank, of which institution he was president at the time of his death. His knowlege of the law as well as every detail of the banking business enabled him to fill a place of usefulness, not only to the bank but to the community as a whole. He had a keen analytical mind and sound judgment and was conservative and painstaking in all that he did. Men in all walks of life came to him for advise and relied upon his judment, and there is no way of estimating the value of help that he has given and the assistance he has rendered in the solution of business and other problems. He had a deep interest in all that had to do with communtity welfare and could be depended upto to council wisely those who would promote anything worth while. It is ofter that case with those whose natures are intensely practical that they have in them no sentiment, but not so with Mr. Boyd. He was a lover of the beautiful, whether he found it in literiture, in nature or as a gem of purest ray serene in the heart of a friend. Hecould lay aside the burdens of his business activity and talk freely of those things that give to life beauty and charm and romance. He was kind hearted and generous but his was that type of charity that lets not the left hand know what the right hand doeth. He was a man of great personal dignity, calm and self possessed and went about his life work without ostentation or display. He never sought the plaudits and aggrandizements that appeal to so many, but was content that those things which he achieved might speak for himself. As friend, counselor and kindly associate he will be missed and mourned.
Mr. Boyd was a thirty-second degree Mason and held in close observance that principles of the order. To him fraternity meant real brotherhood - the brotherhood of service. He had held high places in the order at of which he had filled with dignity and credit. He was also associated with the I.O.O.F., A.O.U.W., the B.P.O.E., and other fratheral orgainizatins.
His religious convictions found expression through membership, In the Episcopal church. Here, as in every other activity his relationship was marked by deep loyalty and he found therein not only those things necessary to his spiritual needs, but a means of real and vital service to others.
Mr. Boyd was married October 27, 1891 to Miss Anna Dye who passed away November 8, 1921. He is survived, however by three sons, Robert, a civil engineer associated with the Department of Public Works of Nebraska, Edward Boyd, an attorney connected with a prominent law firm in New York City and Carson, a student at Yale. The sons have come to Auburn to be present at the funeral of their father. His surviving sister, Mrs. Estella Angle of Upton, Pennsylvania, and his brother, John U. Boyd of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, reached Lincoln a short time before his death and will also be present at the funeral. He is also survived by his brother, Robert C. Boyd of Auburn. To these as well as to all other members of the family the sincere sympathy of the people of the community is extended.
The funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Friday morning from the Episcopal church, with services conducted by the Rev. L. D. Smith; of Nebraska City. The interment will be in Sheridan cemetery.
