OBITUARY TEXT: After a brief illness, Thomas BOYD passed away at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at his late residence, 227 South Fountain Avenue. The
deceased was 61 years of age and is survived by a widow and two children, Ralph
A BOYD, secretary of the city water works board, and Mrs Percy TUCKER who
resides at Salem, O, and who owing to illness is unable to attend the funeral. A
brother and a sister, Frank H BOYD of New York, and Mrs J.C. FARRAR of Kansas
City were at his bedside at the time of death. Mr Boyd's death was due to a
complication of diseases, although for several years he has been suffering with
kidney trouble. Last Wednesday he was taken suddenly ill and for several hours
his life was despaired of, but he finally rallied, although his case at that
time was pronounced fatal by the attending physicians. The following day he
seemed considerably improved, but since then he gradually became weaker until
yesterday when death came. Mr Boyd was well known in this city and county, at
one time having held the position of assistant chief of police. He was a native
of Clark County, being born in Harmony Township in the year 1840, and removed to
this city in 1874. He was married to Miss Mary Henrietta ANDERSON in 1874, and
two children were born to them. Mr Boyd was a veteran of the civil war, having
enlisted in the service in 1861, with the Fourteenth Ohio volunteers, and later
with the Eighth Ohio Cavalry. He was a member of High Street M.E. Church where
he was a regular attendant up to the time of his death. The funeral will occur
Wednesday at 10 am from the residence.
