Boyd.--Mrs. Deliah Boyd died January 24, 1891, at her residence, near Cotton
Gin, Texas, in the eighty-third year of her age. Grandma Boyd, as she was
called by almost every one, no doubt was prepared for departure. She has been
more than fifty years preparing for this journey. She was a grand and good old
woman, very sweet spirited, and one that you would have no doubt of meeting in
the "sweet-bye-bye." She leaves a husband eighty-eighty years of age, to whom
she was united in marriage sixty five years ago. I visited them a few days
before her death, and as sat side by side I thought how good and how pleasant
is old age to such as these. She leaves seventy-five children and
grandchildren, while many had preceded her to the other shore. One little
great-grandchild has crossed over since she left, the infant of Bro. Cicero
Boyd, having died on Saturday the 7th. instant. To all these bereaved ones we
would say: God doeth all things well, and while we see through a glass darkly
now, yet someday, if we are only faithful, we will understand all. God bless
you. Amen
