JOSEPH BOYD/Rebecca
Crawford - HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO
JOSEPH BOYD - Married REBECCA
CRAWFORD, from Pennsylvania in 1810.
Cheap land was offered him
on Fifth St., City, but bought at "80" of N.
Longworth, just east of Robert
Hope and Dr. Fithian. Children: JAMES
married Catharine MILLS; JOHN;
MARGARET married Joseph MORTON;
ELIZABETH married John BRACKEN;
MARTHA married John MOORE;
REBECCA; JOSEPH married Bertha
HENN. An Episode.-On the 19th of
April 1902, Joseph, Jr., having
rounded out fifty years in the Masonic
Order, the lodge presented
him with a magnificent silver urn, capacity
one-half gallon, with the
proper inscriptions, and also a luxurious easy chair.
To him the surprise was a
revelation of deep sympathy and he could trust
himself to say only a little.
An Incident.-St. Aloysius church, Bridgetown,
besought from him a trowel
to lay the corner stone, which was duly restored.
In November, 1903, he was
again approached in relation to St. Catharine's near
Werk's. A sacredness was deemed
to have attached to the St.Aloysius
instrument and hence desirable
for the second 'corner stone'. Hence, he
ground,brightened and re-handled
the ancient trowel.
