LENAWEE COUNTY - List of Deaths
page 100
ROBERT BOYD died at his home
in Tecumseh, Mich., on Wednesday, May 4, 1887,
age 80. Mr. Boyd was born
in Forthtown, near Claughwater, County Antrim,
Ireland, on the 20th of Oct,1806.
When he was 13 he came with his father
to America, settling in Groveland,
Livingston Co., New York. In 1832 he
came to Michigan and on Feb
2,1833, he was married to Miss SARAH
RICHARD, of Raisin. His home
was in Raisin until 1879, when he gave up
the care of his farm and came
to Tecumseh, where his remaining years
were spent. Mr. Boyd was a
person of gentle and retiring nature and the
character of his religion
was in accord with his natural temperament. It
was placid and equable,yet
it was strong and decided. Soon after coming
to Raisin he united with the
Presbyterian church. His life was
consistent with his professions,
and he inspired all who knew him with
his sincerity and his christian
faith. To know him was to feel that the
benediction of the Savior,
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall
see God," was his. A few uninspired
books he read; but after all his one
book was the Bible. He was
remarkably familiar with its contents and his
life was shaped in accordance
with its precepts. In trembling hand was
recorded at its beginning
the date of his last reading of the volume in
course, Oct. 20, 1886, and
the mark at which he left off was in Ezra.
His evening's readings were
in the new Testament, and he left off in
Acts. He frequently asked
in his sickness, to have the 103d Psalm read
to him, and would repeat it
in low voice along with the reader. He was
liberal in his benefactions
and charitable in his judgments of others.
His place in the sanctuary
was always filled when he was able to be
present, and his form was
seen and his voice was heard with equal
regularity in the weekly prayer
meeting. Two years ago his wife, a noble
hearted Christian, was called
suddenly away. Now they both have left us
and are entered into rest.
