General Notes: Husband - Nelson Homer Boyd

---

He attended the district school near his father's small farm and blacksmith shop, in Elizabeth Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, until he was near seventeen years of age, when he began to teach school and taught very acceptably to patrons and pupils for ten terms. He then became part owner in a general store in partnership with his brother, John Boyd, and subsequently bought a farm of 100 acres in Washington County and operated it for three years. Returning then to Allegheny County, he spent the next five years there and during that time served one term as a justice of the peace. In 1882 he came to Finleyville and entered the employ of a well-known coal operator, Henry Floersheim, with whom he continued for eighteen years. When the government started the free delivery system, Mr. Boyd entered the service for ten months. In 1901, in partnership with his brother, Robert Boyd, he went into the grocery business at Finleyville, which they conducted until 1906. His appointment as postmaster was in July, 1908.
