GEORGE BOYD.

    George Boyd, of Ross township, is of the second generation of the family who
have been so conspicuous in the agricultural history of Lake county from its
early history to the present. He is himself one of the younger class of farmers
of his township, and is of the energetic and progressive sort that takes farming
out of its ruts and empirical methods of the past and furnishes it a smooth
course and adapts scientific processes to soil culture. Mr. Boyd has also taken
his place among the public-spirited citizenship of the county, and to social,
material and intellectual progress gives his interest and co-operation.

    Mr. George Boyd is the eldest son of Eli M. and Agnes (Hyde) Boyd, the
former of whom has lived in Lake county ever since 1848 and is one of the old
and well known farmers and useful citizens, having been identified with the
making of Lake county in many of its present essential features. The son George
was born in Ross township, Lake county, October 9, 1877. He was educated in the
common schools of Ross township and at the Northern Indiana Normal College at
Valparaiso, finishing his literary training at Northwestern University, at
Evanston. He then engaged in farming in his native township, and has continued
at it with great success to the present time. He does general farming and
stockraising, operating a farm of three hundred acres, a part of the large
estates of the Boyd brothers.

    Mr. Boyd is a leading young Republican of his township, and as far as his
business interests permit concerns himself with public affairs both of national
and local importance. He was married, February 5, 1901, to Miss Addie Guernsey,
the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Guernsey, well-known citizens of this
county. Two children have been born to them, Lenore and Lucile.
