J. D. Boyd, of Griffin Dies The many friends of this excellent gentleman here are pained to learn that he died at his home in Griffin last Sunday. Col. Boyd was one of Griffin’s wealthiest and most influential citizens and did a great deal towards the up building of his town. He went to Griffin when a young man and by hard work and fair dealing made a name for himself that is worth more than riches. He held many city as well as state positions of trust and honor. He was indeed a high toned, honorable gentleman, an honor to his town and his place will be hard to fill. His Jackson friends return to the bereaved family their heartfelt sympathy in their sad affliction.
