Notes for GEORGE J. BOYD:
 

                                             George J. Boyd

The subject of this sketch is a native of Washington county, Maryland, where he was born December
25, 1836.  His father was Samuel Boyd, a native of the north of Ireland, who came to this country when
very young with his father, Joseph Boyd, and became the owner of a large plantation in Maryland, where
he had many slaves at the time of the Rebellion.  The mother of our subject bore the maiden name of
Margaret Bender, and was of German descent.

In the place of his nativity George J. Boyd attended the public schools, and later continued his
education in similar schools at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.  He was reared to manhood upon his father's
farm and in early boyhood worked in the fields.  After leaving school he began farming in Maryland on his
own account, a vocation which he followed for several years.  At one time he was on the road selling
agricultural implements.

In 1872 Mr. Boyd came to Iowa, and first located in Benton county, but in 1880 came to Guthrie
county, settling in Richland township, where he again engaged in farming.  Here he bought one hundred
and twenty acres of M. W. Lair, which he operated for three years.  In 1883 Mr. Boyd became convinced
that there was no better criterion of the growing and prosperous condition of a town or city than its hotel
interests, and that the enterprising villages and cities must have pleasant accomodations for visitors and
traveling men.  It was on this account that he bought the hotel in Herndon and made it a comfortable home
for all those who were its guests.  In 1895 he sold out and bought a house in block 1 in Herndon, where he
lived until 1896, but the hotel business was still attractive to Mr. Boyd, and during this year he purchased a
hotel in Linden, Dallas county, which he conducted on the same high principles which characterized his
first enterprise of this kind.  Here he remained until 1898, when he went to Stuart for a short time, but
Herndon still held out attractions for him, and here he returned and bought back his old home, where he
has since lived.  Besides these various enterprises in which he has been engaged, he has found time to do
some very successful work in the real-estate and insurance business.

Mr. Boyd was married in Washington county, Maryland, November 18,1858, to Hester J. Mathews,
a native of Berkely county, Virginia.  Four children of this union still survive, namely; Samuel, who is
living in Tacoma, Washington; Fanny, who married Albert Kinney, of Richland township; Lyda, the wife of
E. B. Crosswait; and Lulu, who is at home.

Mr. Boyd votes with the republican party, and his labors have been very effective in advancing its
work.  His life has been a busy, useful and honorable one.  He has been justice of the peace since 1883,
and for four years was the efficient coroner of this county.  Those who know him have ever held him in
the highest regard, and in Guthrie county's history he well deserves representation.

Notes for HESTER J. MATHEW:

The earthly pilgrimage of Mrs. G. J. Boyd came to a close last Saturday morning shortly after eight
o'clock.  She had been slowly drifting toward the other shore for several weeks.  She had neither ache nor
pain, but just grew weaker with each passing day, until finally the frail body, weary of the burdens and the
cares of the years, ceased to function, and the Spirit, freed of its tenement of clay, took its flight to the
Realms Above.

The deceased came to Guthrie county many years ago and enjoyed the acquaintance of most of the
settlers of the early days, but with advancing age, with its many infirmities, she had been content to just
keep the home fires burning while going down the valley with the husband, the companion of the years,
and to enjoy to the full the occasional visits of the children and the grandchildren, friends from a distance,
and the daily visits of the near neighbors.

She was a good wife, mother and neighbor, and many friends will attest to her many estimable
qualities.

Hester J. Mathewson was born March 1, 1837, in Barkley county, Maryland, and passed away
Saturday, August 27, 1921, at her home in Jamaica, Iowa, aged 84 years, 5 months and 26 days.

At the age of seven years she with her parents moved to Clear Springs, Maryland, where she grew to
womanhood.  She was united in marriage with G. J. Boyd of that place on Nov. 18, 1858.  To this union
were born eight children as follows: J. S. Boyd of Tacoma, Washington; Fanny Culiver, Des Moines, Iowa;
Lida Crosswait, Lake City, Iowa; Lula Boyd, Clarinda, Iowa; and Edwin, Katy, Maggie and Allis M. who
preceded the mother to the Great Beyond.

The family home was maintained at Clear Springs until 1872, when the deceased with her husband
and family started out for the west.  They first settled in Benton county, Iowa where they resided for eight
years.  In 1880 the family came to Guthrie county settling near Herndon, and at which place they
continued to reside until 1918, when the home here in Jamaica was purchased and the change of residence
was made. 

The deceased united with the M. E. church in early life and lived a consistent christian life until
called to her heavenly home, there to receive the blessings accorded to the faithful followers of the cross.

Besides the aged and feeble husband and the four children, there are left to mourn ten grandchildren,
ten great grandchildren, and the many friends and acquaintances.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 1:30, at the United Brethren church and were
conducted by Rev. S. B. Clark, U. B. minister. The song service was given by Mesdames Kathryn Kempf and
V. W. Towne and Misses Lena Shuman, Gladys Ballard and Mildred Kempf.  The pall bearers were G. W. Heater, 
Harlow Towne, Wm. Shuman, Charles Towne and V. S. Hiddleson. Internment was made at Richland cemetery.
