ALAMEDA, Feb. 8 - Funeral services will be held tomorrow for Miss Orrilla G. Boydston, 80, member of a pioneer Alameda County family and a veteran Oakland nurse, who died yesterday at a local hospital after an illness of two years.

Miss Boydston, who lived at 220-C Cypress Street, was the daughter of the late Ulysses A. Boydston, who in 1876 came to Pleasanton from Illinois.
