General Notes: Husband - James Gray Boyd

---

He spent his early life in West Newton, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He learned and followed the trade of a carpenter, but in later life was engaged in agricultural pursuits near Madison. He eventually disposed of his farming interests and removed to Knoxville, Iowa, where, for four years, he gave his attention to the flouring-mill business. Returning to his native county he settled at Irwin Station and there, in partnership with Cyrus Billhammer, conducted a hardware business for twenty years, and upward, finally disposing of his interest and migrating to Cleveland, Ohio, where he passed the remainder of his life. He was a Republican and an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
