Several years later, the couple divorced as reported by the Daily Advocate, p. 4. on 10
November 1888 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio.
Judge Beckingham has granted the decree of divorce as prayed for by Laura Haas against
Jas. Haas. Wilfull absence was the cause. The parties live in Utica.
Just a month later, James's death is recorded in the Newark Daily Advocate for 7
December 1888 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio.
Killed by the Cars - James Haas Run Over Near the O. C. Crossing. At an Early Hour
this Morning and Instantly Killed - The Remains Brought to Newark.
The cruel iron wheels have found another victim and have again crushed the life
out of what was a man, leaving only a blood and mangled corpse, as the horrible
remainder of their awful power. About two o'clock this morning, Coroner Smith received a
telegram stating that an unknown man had been killed by a railroad train near the Ohio
Central Railroad Crossing.
The Doctor immediately went up to the crossing and found the dead and horribly
mangled body of a young man, apparently about 25 years old, lying by the side of the rail
road track, about one-half mile east of the crossing. The right arm of the dead man was
broken, his right boot was torn off his foot and his head was completely mashed in. The
mangled remains presented a horrible and ghastly sight, sufficient to sicken the stoutest
heart.
A special engine brought the remains to Newark at three o'clock this morning and
they were taken to George Markley's undertaking establishment to be prepared for burial.
The body was identified as that of James Haas, a young man about 25 years of age, who
has been staying at the County Infirmary for some time past. Haas' home is not far from
Utica, where his father, William Haas, died some time ago, leaving considerable property.
His relatives still live in the vicinity. He was married and subject to epileptic fits. It is
supposed that he had started to walk to Newark on the track when he was seized with one
of his customary fits and falling down upon the railroad, the train had passed over him
with the above fatal effect. (p. 6)
After James’ death, Laura married WILLIAM A. WALTON in about 1889. He was
born February 1847 in Ohio and died before 1928 probably in Licking County, Ohio.

NEW YEAR'S BALL – Lizzie Cross, Loveland Colorado

Lives of great men oft remind us,
We might take some exercise,
And in dying leave behind us,
Footprints in railroad ties.
The party on New Year's night,
Brought Montie down the railroad track,
The stone house right before his sight,
With doors awaiting for the clack.
With light step and beating heart,
She rushes for the door,
Says dear Mont, "They couldn't fool me,
I knew you'd come once more."
Now Montie before it gets too late,
I'll put on my coat and shawl,
We'll go up the railroad track
And take in the New Year's ball.

Willis wrote a letter from Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio to his parents on 2 July
1873.
Dear Father and Mother,
I have got to Aunt Harriet's all safe and sound. It rained torrents while we were
about half way to Delaware, just before we got to Norton. Emma Bunker, Cary Christian,
Harry Uhler and another young man was in the back and although it rained we had a
good time. We got out at Norton and bought a lot of candy. There was no one at the depot
but I found my way up to Aunt's easy enough. I have got the front room upstairs. It is a
very nice room with gas. They have no crossing in Columbus. I have made friends of
Matilda and Dora. That is Silas children's names.
Write soon, from you affectionate son, Willis G. Boyd.
July 3rd. I was so tired yesterday that I did not go uptown. the girls went a
shopping. I went with them as far as the state house. It is splendid. I went up in the dome,
up some winding stairs. Sunday we are going to the penitentiary to meeting. I went all
over the capital. I guess I will go down to the post office now.
Your affectionate son, Willis G. Boyd.
Willis wrote a letter from Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio to his parents on 9 July
1873.
I wrote a letter the first day I was here and sent it Thursday. Since then I was to the
fireworks on the fifth and to church in the penitentiary on
Sunday. Yesterday I was out to Cowell's and seen the
agriculture college. It is a beautiful. I am waiting for a
chance to go out to the country. After paying my fare I had
$2.30 left. I spent 20 cents for knickknacks, 50 cents for
toothpaste so I have $1.50 left. With this I want to go to the
penitentiary which will cost a quarter and buy me a coat. I
have not received answer for my first letter. Are you all well?
I send my love to all. Kiss little Eddy for me.
From your affectionate son, do write soon. I want to
hear from you so bad. Willis G. Boyd. Address: 530 North

AND THEIR CHILDREN
Early Days in Loveland, By Sarah A. Smith
After the death of her husband ... "I increased my indebtedness by putting on a
second story that I might have sleeping rooms and put out a sign "Big Thompson House'. I
soon had a house full of boarders. I did all the cooking myself as there was no bakery in
town. I sat up nights to bake bread and the boys expressed themselves as more than satisfied
with their home. Names and dates seem to be leaving my mind, but facts and experiences
remain....
These men whom I name as boarders were all my fast friends; and their patronage
enabled me to make an independent living they were ... Willis Boyd ... Harry Boyd. The
merchants were most of them married, and their patronage was only transient, but it all
helped.
The boys said my house was a very homey place, but there was very little
entertainment in town, so I bought a Mason and Hamlin organ which added an even
$100 to my indebtedness. A couple of the boys were good organists and from then on the
evenings and Sunday afternoon were spent in singing. We always had quite an audience
often filling the sidewalk in front of the house.
Meals were only 25c and I had not a show room for the traveling men at night; but
the train left about noon and the first dinner bell always caught them. They rushed, were
waited on as quickly as possible, ate hurriedly, threw down 50c apiece and rushed out.
I kept a clerk, a dining room girl and chambermaid; but continued to do the
cooking myself. As I was quite successful I was in a measure contented.... (p. 3)
Willis wrote a letter from Denver, Colorado to his mother, Evelina Gorton Boyd on
7 May 1889.
My Dear Mama,
I have been in Denver a week and have had several talks with the company that
holds the loan. They will not foreclose until next fall and maybe not then. They thoroughly
understand the situation and will work to our interest. They see what the creditors are
trying to do and they will endeavor to bid the property if they have to sell it and then turn
it over to you, if you wish it.
I am glad I came and had a talk with them. They are gentlemen and appreciate
your circumstances.
Well I have tracked my big team off and have taken an agency for some farm
machinery. Will have to travel more of the time, tis something that will just suit me. And
if I make a success of it this summer, I will have a good thing another year, as I can have
any number of states east of the Mississippi to travel in at a salary of $150 per month and
expenses.
I obtain a commission on what I sell this summer. Charley Shallenberger is making
from $10 to $30 per day with the same thing in the southern part of the state. I have the
northern part of the state.
I had a letter from Lizzie yesterday and she said they were all well.
We have had a glorious old rain. Rained and snowed every day for a week. Was the
best rain we have had for three years. Prospects are fine for a big crop. Water will be more
abundant than we thought at first.
- 485 -
So I won't need any money to keep them from foreclosing. I am going home today
and will have to quit to catch the train. Give my love to all the folks and tell them I am
liable to see them this fall about fair time.
With much love and a kiss to you and Eva. I remain your affectionate son, Willis
Willis wrote a letter from Loveland, Larimer County to his sister, Evelyn, living in
Marion, Ohio on 20 October 1891.
My Dear Little Sister,
Wasn't I surprised though the other day when I returned from a trip away across
the mountains to find a letter from the little girl I thought had forgotten me entirely. You
can't imagine how glad I was to hear from you. You must be getting along well in your
studies. You write a nice letter for a girl of your age and I hope you will write me oftener.
It has been a long time since I heard or seen you hasn't it? I will try and see you sometimes
this winter but don't know when it will be. Maybe not at all this winter, but will try to.
Yes, Eddie is still with me, and Harry also. Harry has been staying here while I
have been away. Eddie went hunting last Saturday and got back yesterday. He killed 15
great big geese and some ducks. You have two little nieces and two nephews here now.
Myrna, Nellie, Ray and a little boy baby about 6 weeks old; he is as fat and saucy as a
little bear but he isn't cross like a bear. He is as good as he can be. The children all keep as
well as possible for any children to be. Never sick at all. Myrna helps her mother a good
deal for such a little thing. Ray is getting to be a great big fat rascal. Just full of fun, wants
to romp all the time. Nellie is just beginning to talk a little. Myrna talks about her Aunt
Eva a good deal.
I have got a whole lot of horses now and as soon as I get them broke will ship some
of them back east someplace. Don't know just where to yet. I am going to ship cattle to
Chicago the l0th of November. Harry may go with them that far and if he does, I think he
will go on to Marion. Wouldn't you like to see him? We are living out where Annie Smith
used to live in the country. But will move into town next month sometime.
We are having very nice weather her now, nice warm, and pleasant. Lizze wants
you to write to her before long. I would have written you sooner but was away from home
when your letter came. Well, have to quit now as I have some work to do. With lots of love
from us all to you and Aunt Pattie and the rest.
I remain your affectionate brother, Willis G. Boyd

you, and to know you wrote it all yourself. Harry read his
letter to me telling how tall you were and what you
weighed. I can hardly realize that the little girl that left me
most two years ago can now be 'most as tall as I am as my
height is 5 ft. 2 in, weight 128. I had the children weighed
not long ago. Myrna weighed 32 1/2 and Ray 32 lbs. They Margaret (Cross) Boyd
have grown so much this winter. Ray is fat as ever but
Myrna gets taller and slimmer. Nellie is a cute curly-headed little midget, has never talked
very much until lately and now she says such cute things. Harry was down from the
mountains, the last time he was teasing Nellie, told her he was going to cut off a curl. "No
Uncie Hi Naie Hi" meaning "No Uncle Harry, Nellie's Hair."
Willis has been gone since January 28th and is still at Tampa, Florida. Got a letter
this morning saying he had 3 head of horses left. He drove out in the country last Sunday
and said it was as hot as any day we have in August here, flies and mosquitoes bother you
'most to death. Said he would not live in the country for the whole state hardly. It is
getting past the season for a ready horse market so he is a long time selling out although I
expect he will start home any day now.
Oh yes! Little Andy is in short clothes since February 1st. He is a bouncing big boy
and just laughs as loud as can be every time you play with him and talk to him. When
Aunt Mag was here for a short time this winter she called him the "jolly kid". You
remember Aunt Mag and Nellie Stotts that was here visiting with Ma when we moved
from the ranch to town? Aunt Mag came this winter to see her sister that came to visit with
Ma from California. Ma and Aunt Mag had not seen her for 27 years. That is a long time
isn't it?
Willis did talk of going to Ohio the first time he was to Florida with horses to look
for a market for these last ones, but thought he could sell as quick there again as any place
else. Says horses are cheap every place he has been this winter. Harry talks of Ohio but says
it takes money to make the horse go, so don't look for him till you see him coming. Harry is
in the mountains cooking for the men at the sawmill and Eddie is up there too, getting out
logs for the mill, both working for John Hays. They say the snow is pretty deep up there but
it is not as cold there as in the valley. Harry talks of going to Creede, the new mining camp
in the southern part of the state, as soon as the snow is off this spring so they can cross the
range. It was reported some time ago that Tom Johnson, Dr. Sutherland and some other
men of Loveland had sold two mines at Creede for $81,000 but no one here has seen the
money yet that I know of.
Will you send me Aunt Adaline's address? I owe her a letter this long time but lost
her letter with her number and street. It is getting late and I must get to bed as I have to be
up early to get the chores all done before school time. Edna Johnson is staying with me
while Willis is gone to take care of the children while I chore and run errands to town.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Have 1 cow, 1 horse, 1 pig, and 85 chickens to care for. My old Duke horse you used to
ride is in Palatka, Florida. Willis took him the first load of horse he took this winter. Ethel
was here a little while yesterday. Says they were all well but quite busy beginning their
spring work since we have had two weeks such nice warm weather.
Will close with love to all as tomorrow is wash day. I must be to bed pretty soon.
Almost 10 o'clock but I have to write nights or the children bother me so I can't think
straight. Oh yes, Myrna said tell Eva she went to Sunday School every Sunday with Edna.
Ray went with Edna to school Friday afternoon and I must tell you that for him, good
night little girl as this will be enough to read this time as I write so fast it is hard to read.
Will write again some of these fine days.
Your Sister, Lizzie Boyd
Margaret wrote a letter from Loveland to her sister-in-law, Evelyn Boyd, who was
living in Marion, Ohio on 29 September 1896.275
Dear Sister Evelyn,
As Ray is writing I will scratch a few lines too. We are pretty well, except, colds.
Have had several cold storms lately and gave us all colds.
Harry and Laura called here at the gate Sunday evening. They still live in
Berthoud. We have not heard from Eddie for a long time but I shall send him some
pictures soon and see if that will cause him to write.
It is getting near school time and I am in such a hurry. I can't write so you can read
it so will close with love to all and lots for yourself.
Your far away sister. Lizzie Boyd.
A newspaper article in a Loveland newspaper
on 5 May 1898 provides a sketch of Willis'
personality.
A Pen Picture. Among those of the younger class of
men in this town - men who, while not in the push
and bustle which accompanies wind and not
business; men who love to see progression and view it
while entrenched in the ramparts of their own
business - stands the subject of this crude sketch.
For years has this person dwelt in this
vicinity. As a boy he galloped madly across the
plains, rode recklessly upon the side of the virgin
mountain, pressed into dangerous localities, and has Willis Gorton Boyd
even escaped unharmed. Like all cattlemen he is as
emphatic in his likes and his dislikes: is not a devotee at fashion's shrine. He is not a
lounger or a loafer - even by the most vivid stretch of imagination he could never be termed
lazy or a procrastinator. He is what is directly opposite: a man of vim, of push, of
progression.
275
Enclosed in a letter sent by her son Raymond.
- 489 -
In his dealings with his fellowmen (and he probably has business relations with as
many individuals as any firm in Loveland - outside of the banking business) he has ever
been found upright and honest. To say that he has never made an enemy would be absurd
as well as untrue: but that he has as few as almost any business man in the county is
absolutely correct. A cent does not stick to his fingers if it rightfully belongs to another: and,
though he will drive a shrewd bargain, yet when his word is given, he adheres to the
agreement as persistently as the porous plaster sticks to the delicate hide.
Among the odd traits possessed by the subject of this sketch is that of reticence
bashfulness - an objection to publicity - a horror of personal advertising. So far as
advertising in a business sense is concerned he considers that legitimate: but to extol his
good acts and his meritorious deeds will bring down upon the head of the luckless often a
wealth of condemnation.
Queer how some people will look upon a printed account of their own good acts!
Ninety nine percent of them consider a neatly-turned word as a compliment: the
remaining one per cent fear that the public will consider them egotistical if their names are
circulated in connection with some good. This man belongs to the last named class.
His age is not reckoned by years - for his business career has added to his
countenance that sedate look which a constant coping with the everyday world always
brings. When he does smile there is a look as when the summer clouded sun finds a rift
through which it flirt its rays: and he appears a dozen years younger. Many, upon a brief
acquaintance, deem the man of a rather morose disposition - but, when thoroughly
understood, he is found to be jolly, well-informed, and particularly sociable. When imbued
by a sense of duty he is over-liberal: and his right hand seldom informs the left where the
last case of generosity happened.
If he is a lady's man he has great success in hiding the attribute - for he is as
impartial to the fair sex as a man well can be. To his close associates he is ever indulgent:
to his friends, sincere: to his duties, conscientious. His name? Well, to that and his line of
business no reference is here made: there is but one man in town whom this picture fits.
And it ought to be dead easy to pick him out - for his is all right.
Now guess!

Willis wrote a letter from Loveland to his sister Evelyn, living in Marion, Ohio on 25
March 1902.
My Dear Sister Eva,
I came very near saying my little sister. I don't suppose you would like that would
you? I was very glad to hear from you. I thought a year ago that I would see you before
now, when I last saw Edward at Rawlins, Wyoming. I was expecting to sell out my
business here and if I had, you would have been bothered to death with all three of us for a
while. Wouldn't that have been a surprise! But I could not leave so Harry sent you a paper.
Well Eva, you must not believe all you read in the papers as they are prone to exaggerate.
Neither are you to take much stock in what people tell you as "Distance lends enchantment
to the Subject". I remember Mrs. Silverthorne very well, 80 years old, my! That seems old

to me and did you ever think that I am on the shady side of 40! 42 years old my last
birthday. But a few years more and then what?
Eva, if I can live and be as good a man as our father was, I will have no fear of the
hereafter (if there is one). You cannot remember much about him can you? I trust that you
and the rest of us may never have the trials and disappointments to contend with that our
father and mother had. I can remember it so well, so vividly before my eyes now. That old
frame house, by the lake modeled after Aunt Pattie's house (as it was when we left Ohio)
but never finished. How we used to hug the stove to keep warm. At times, how little we
had to keep us alive. And father ever pleasant, patient, and forbearing. No Eva, I never
can forget those winters in the 70's. And then when you came (our only sister) everything
was looking brighter and the last few years of their lives was not quite so hard.
Well Eva, it appears as if I were in a retrospective mood today, but I often feel in
that way. And my dear sister, I want to say to you that as long as your conduct you live
and actions, agreeable to the teachings of our dear mother, and that good woman who has
been all that a mother could be to you, who has had the training of your mind from youth
to womanhood (the most imprint period of your life). You cannot be otherwise than a good
and true woman. I have often felt I would like to send for you and have you with us but
then the thoughts would come that it would not be right to take you away from Aunt
Pattie after all she had done for you. And at a time in her life when you can repay her in
part at least, for her kindness.
Well, well. If I live another year I will see you all. I do not remember Mr. Young.
Lizze and the children are all well and happy. We have quite a house full now. I am
feeding 200 head of cattle for beef and it keeps 2 extra men busy and a hired girl so that
makes 11 in the family. We have had a very mild winter. Cattle have done exceedingly
well. It is raining today, the first rain we have since October last. It will likely turn to
snow before morning. Well it will be of immense benefit to the crops and grass. My
business like all others has its ups and downs, its bright days and dull ones. Just now it is
rather dull. Always is at this time of year.
The picture was taken in December. I will send you a correct likeness in a few
weeks. Now do not take seriously what the "lady from Loveland" told you about me, as you
know "ill news travels fast". Well! I did not intend to let you know I had any curiosity in
regard to this strange lady, but I am afraid the" cat is out of the bag now! I have been
reading your letter over. You say you often think 'how little you know of myself and
family.' Well my dear little girl, (I see you sign yourself that way so I guess it will be all
right) we will try and become better acquainted from now on. Well, what do you think of
this long letter? Have wrote a good deal and have not said much either. We intend to have
a picture of our home taken this spring and will send one to you and Aunt Pattie. Well
Eva, good-by for this time and do not think because I write but seldom that I do not think
often of you as there is never a day about what I thinks of the two absent ones, Eva and
Edward.
With love to yourself and Aunt Pattie. I remain, you affectionate brother, Willis G.
Boyd.
Willis wrote a letter from Loveland to his sister, Evelyn Boyd in Marion, Ohio on 3
November 1908.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
My Dear Sister,
I got home last night and found your telegram informing me of your safe arrival in
Marion. Hope you had a pleasant trip. I had a very good trip only it was cold and snowy.
I bought 480 head of cattle and had to move them 30 miles to the railroad. The first 12
miles was through from 2 to 4 feet of snow. We have a bunch of saddle horses (about 50
head) in front of the cattle to break a trail so the cattle could get through. Finally got them
to the RR and on the cars and started for home on Friday evening. Unloaded them at
Laramie City, Wyoming to feed and rest them, and while there sold all of them. So I came
home without any cattle but they made me some money and as that is what I was after I
am satisfied with my journey. If I can make a few more trips as profitable, I will surely see
you again next spring (when you have good weather).
I leave this P.M. for eastern Colorado after 200 steers for the feed lot. I may sell
them before I get home. Sure will if they will make me some money. I hope you found Aunt
Pattie and Fred well and hearty, also Fanny and the children. Ray will have his beets all
in tonight and will soon be ready for Collins. We are having the finest kind of weather
now. Just like September only a little cooler nights.
With love to you. Your brother, W.G. Boyd.
Willis wrote a letter from Loveland to his daughter, Myrna, living in Marion, Ohio
on 4 April 1909.
My Dear Myrna
Well I am home again for a few days. Have been in Idaho most of the time the last
two months; was sick the last time - 5 days in bed at Blackfoot. Mrs. Boyle & Mrs.
Kennedy asked about you.
I am glad to hear you are so nicely situated in a good new house and in a pleasant
locality. You are certainly starting out in life a great deal different from your mother & I,
and I hope you will have as quiet and pleasant married life as we have.
It may be that Mama & Louise can come east this spring. I would like for Louise to
continue her music, and told her to ask you if you would find out if we could rent a piano
by the month for the time she would be there. And would want her to have a good teacher
and devote as much time as possible to her music.
Ray has taken good care of the cattle and if the market holds up, they will make
him some money. He has attended strictly to business all winter.
Well I don't know as I have much more to write about; am here all alone. Mama is
over to Mrs. Hulls and the children at school. Give my best regards to Horace and with
love to you both.
Your father, W. G. Boyd
Willis wrote a letter from Loveland to his sister, Evelyn in Marion, Ohio on 14 May
1909.
My Dear Sister,
Your card received a few days ago. Yes it has been some time since I wrote you, but I
do very little writing or reading now. We have had an extremely hard winter. Has been a
very disastrous one for a great many cattle feeders. One of my neighbors lost $22,000.
- 493 -
Quite a heavy loss, eh! I was lucky as I made some money, but not enough to take much of
a trip on. So you see it is better to be born lucky than rich or good looking. Coxey came out
ahead also and we were about the only ones among 50 or 60 engaged in the business that
did not lose any money.
I am pleased to hear that Ray writes to you occasionally and hope he will keep up
the correspondence. You write to him regularly if you can. I think he has got down to
business now in good shape. The time he put in this last winter in college done him lots of
good. He joined the YMCA and the associations and training he received there helped him
a great deal. I was very much grieved to have him go away but hope he will have larger
opportunities there and then it was not like going among strangers and of doubtless
character and reputations as he is in good company with Mr. Harrison and his Uncle
Andy. I want to try and see him sometime this summer. I will try and go up there in
September but as long as he is there, I want to see him stay with it. One of Rays greatest
faults is that he is a little too ambitious. He is rather inclined to commence at the top,
instead of lower down and mastering all the details as he climbs. He has a great regard for
you and your influence over him during the next few years of his life will do him a world
of good.
Well, we are all well as ever, although those headaches Lizzie has worries me as she
has them oftener and harder. I am afraid it will be like her father. Myrna appears to be
doing well at the hospital. The patients all seem to think a great deal of her. Nellie has
studied very hard this last school year and I would like to send her somewhere during
vacation but can hardly spare the funds this summer. I am trying to sell out here and if I
do, will go where I can buy cheaper land than here. Harry's trip last winter done him a lot
of good. When he left here, he could hardly eat anything and now he eats about anything
he wishes. He went to the Park a couple of weeks ago. I just had a letter for Ray. Says he is
well and strong as an ox and is the only one in the bunch that can throw a sack of cement
in the wagon clear from the ground. He got to be quite an athlete while in Collins at the
YMCA gymnasium.
Well this is May 18 and cold enough for an overcoat. I never see it so cold at this
time of the year . Something has gone wrong with our Colorado climate the last year. Sure
I haven't seen any of Aunt Marian's folks for a long while but think she is taking it easier
this summer. She rented her place (her farm) for 3 years at $2000 per year. I may go to
Nevada next month to buy cattle and if I do will try and see Edward. I have not heard
from him for a long while. I suppose you see Joe and Eleanor occasionally. Hope they are
doing well. I thought last fall that Lizzie and I might happen down that way this summer
for a couple of days but we had to give that notion up some time ago. The children are all
happy because school will be out next week. This week is examination week and they are
all busy. There is a lot of Rays friends here going to send postal cards to him on the 5th of
June, his birthday. Kind of a postal card shower I believe they call it. That is on a
Saturday and that is the day they come to town after their mail. I trust Aunt Pattie and all
the folks there are in good health.
Give my regards to all and with love to yourself, I remain your brother, Willis G.
Boyd
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Willis wrote a letter from Denver, Denver County, Colorado to his new son-in-law,
Horace Williams, living in Marion Ohio. on 15 December 1909.
My Dear Horace,
I will have to begin this letter about the same as yours of the 3rd inst. by begging
your pardon for not answering sooner. However I cannot plead a press of business but
rather a disinclination to write. I don't know why it is, but I cannot write the letters I
used to. What I mean is, I cannot express myself as fully as formerly.
Was glad to hear Myrna stood the trip so well and I hope she is feeling at home and
enjoying herself and hope you both will remain as happy and contented in the years to
come as you are now.
We have had some winter here the last two weeks - 18, 19 and 20 below zero; 3
successive days which is pretty cold for this country. However on account of the dry air and
absence of wind, I don't think it bothers us as much here as in a damper climate.
The cattle market has gone to pieces this week; slumped off 75 cents per cut. I have
bought lots of them this week; have about 1100 head on hand now and will buy 3 or 400
more if they get any cheaper. I expect to be in Texas in Feb and Mar (at least that is the
plans at present) buying 10,000 steer yearlings for spring delivery. Ray is doing well with
his cattle and am sending him more tonight; some fine short horn steers.
To change the subject some, I think it is right and proper to attend these social
functions occasionally, but don't take much stock in making that a business. But it pleases
me a great deal to know, that Myrna and you will move in good society, and to know that
your mother and sister think well of her. For after all is said and done, Horace, it is the
mother love that counts in this world. And the man or woman that loves and respects their
mother cannot go far wrong.
I realize that Myrna will have the opportunity to develop and broaden her mind.
That she should be proud of and do her utmost to make herself a noble and true woman,
which I am confident she will do.
Your last letter was written while you were in Toledo. You will surely have a siege
when the trial begins, if you have to stay there 3 or 4 weeks. Thank you very much for your
kind invitation, and I will try and see you for a few days at least, sometime this coming
spring.
I wish you would write often and I will endeavor to be more prompt; although I
cannot promise sure. Give my regards to your mother, and tell her I should be delighted to
receive a letter from her and also that owing to her influence, I believe that man that
married my daughter to be a good conscientious man and will do his best to make her
happy. And I trust his wife will do her best. Give my love to Evelyn and Aunt Pattie and
any inquiring friends.
Will close for this time, praying for a happy and prosperous future for you and my
girl. God bless her. Your aft. Father, W. G. Boyd

My Dear Girlie,
You will notice by this letterhead that I must have got around home before I
realized it. This is a fine little hotel and the best looking town I have been in since I left
Colorado. I haven't met anyone I knew since leaving Denver until I got here. There are
several people here from Loveland that I know. Met Volly VanBramer last night.
Telephoned him from Montpelier that I was coming. He met me at the train at midnight.
So as I am stopping at the Boyd's and several people here I know. I feel more comfortable.
Don't seem like a strange land and all strangers.
It is snowing hard right now and don't look as if it would quit. There has been only
one day since I have been in this country without snowing. Blackfoot is a right nice little
town about the size of your favorite town. You know it, can't tell when I will get out of
this country. Am waiting for cars to load cattle I have bought. I wish I was at home with
you all, than be wandering around from place to place.
I suppose some of you are getting ready for Sunday School. I wish you would all go
to Sunday School and church more than you do. I often wonder how Mama is. I wish we
could do something to make it easier for her. You girls must help her all you can. I suppose
you have heard from Myrna since I left. It seems like I have been away an age. Well I see
Volly VanBramer coming so will have to cut this off short and go with him. Tell Ray to
stuff those cattle all he can and try to get the place cleaned up some. Tell Louise, Zeta and
Andy hello and I will try and write in a few days. I hope Momma is well.
With love to you all, your father, W.G. Boyd. Am going for a sleigh ride. Won't you
join? I know you would like it.

in Marion, Ohio on 4 July 1910.
My Dear Wife,
Well here it is the 4th of July. Mrs. Squires, Grandma, and myself are at home.
Sent Zeta to the Park yesterday to stay a week with Wagners. There is to be a big
celebration there today. Bought her a round trip ticket and she rode up with Mr. Osborn
(the old man). I expect she will enjoy herself to the limit. Nellie, Carrol and six others, the
two Harrison girls from Greely, Miss Rinker and their escorts left this morning at 6 o'clock
for the Farks Hotel for the day. Mr. Alderdge told me there were 350 diners engaged for

district 238, p. 13A, dwelling 238, family 239, Willis G. Boyd family.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
today and expected to serve over 450 diners. Keep them pretty busy won't it? I came home
Friday evening and will go back to D. tomorrow morning. Don't expect to go west
anymore this season but may go to Sheridan, Wyo. for a couple of weeks sometime this
month. Mr. Mann expects to leave about Aug 1st for a month's trip and Mr. Coyte and I
will have to run the business.
Am so glad to hear you are feeling so well. I thought it would do you both lots of
good. Tell Louise she must write to Coxey and to remember he has done a lot for her. He
was saying not long ago he had not heard from her since she left and I think it is hardly
treating him fair. Dr. Sutherland went to the big fight at Reno, Nev. So Coxey is looking
after the hospital during his absence.
Well Lizzie, I surely would like to change country and live in a lower altitude, as I
feel better when in Utah or Idaho. Altho' not so very much lower than this, the air feels
softer and damper than here, but it don't look as if there was much chance for a change for
a while. Everything is very dull here. Crops look poorly and you couldn't sell out a ½
price right now; will have to have a good crop again before anything doing in that line.
It gives me lots of pleasure to hear how nicely Myrna & Horace are situated. I have
always had the utmost confidence in Myrna. We had several good talks together, one on the
train between Loveland and D at the time of her first trip east and a few since then. As far
as I knew, she had only the one serious fault and I believe she has overcome that to a great
extent. I think her two years at the hospital did her a world of good. She will know what I
refer to and tell her for me to keep everlastingly at it and she will be all OK; A woman
whom everyone will speak well of.
Nellie had done nice so far, and I will try and arrange to give her a couple of weeks
in the mts. before the summer is over. I surely miss Louise very much and the year would
seem very lonesome without her sunny smile and good nature. And I know you would miss
her a great deal more than I because she does so much to help you.
Zeta, I think, will be of more assistance to you this winter than formerly. She is an
honest little body. In fact we have been fortunate in all our children so far haven't we?
They have not caused us any heartache or serious worry, have they? And we can truly be
thankful for that. The reason to me is plain; they had the good luck to have a good, pure,
sensible woman for their mother.
I note what you say in regard to Ray in your letter to Nellie. And I hope when he is
ready to select a helpmate that he will choose wisely and will obtain a girl that will be
suited to the business he will follow. The best I can wish him is that he may be as fortunate
as I was.
We are scattered some today aren't we? The outlook for feeding this winter is not
flattering. The best raisers have the first show at the pulp, and as I am not a beet grower
this year, it is doubtful whether I get any. However I am trying to work out a plan to feed
in the factory yds; as they do not intend to feed any. Will know all about it by Aug. 1st.
I will leave Nellie & Zeta to write you the news around home and the town. I
have been looking for a letter from Myrna. My love to you and all the folks,
Yours Affect. W. G. Boyd
I just addressed a letter from Grandma to you. We are doing fine and you take it
easy and enjoy yourself this summer. Andy and Herbert was going to Collins today but H.
- 497 -
backed out so Andy is here. He is going out to Jim's tonight. He has been hoeing around
the place the last week and has done very well. Write to him.

Willis wrote a letter from Loveland to his daughter Myrna living in Marion, Ohio on
23 July 1910.
My Dear Myrna
Your long looked for and very welcome letter received a few days ago. Also one from
Louise I found when I got home last night. It was a good long one; 17 sheets - 34 pages. I
was surely glad to hear from you, I had begun to think you had forgotten but I really
didn't think that you know. For I knew you must be pretty busy. Louise is certainly
enjoying herself and I am awfully glad that Mama is feeling so much better.
Take good care of her and let her have a good long rest. Oh Myrna, you can't
realize how differently you are starting in life; so many conveniences and such a nice home.
You are indeed fortunate and I hope the rest of the girls may fare as well. Your mother had
lots of hard work and then the babies kept coming along and made it still harder for her.
But we can both say that our children have not cause us any worry and I hope that in the
future, we can so arrange that Mama can take more leisure and can find time for
recreation. If everything prospers with me this year, I have a plan for next summer that I
will unfold to you when the right time arrives.
If Louise should conclude to stay with you this winter, take good care of her. I do
not think it best for her to go out in society to any great extent. She is hardly old enough
you know, and her music and schooling should keep her pretty busy anyway. I will miss her
more than I can tell if she should stay. However your Mama & Louise must decide it. If
AND THEIR CHILDREN
you think it best for her, that she would have better health and more advantages there than
here, well and good. I will try and get along without her until next spring.
Now I have some sad news to write you, but perhaps you have seen it in the paper.
Pansy Quigley died this week and Jesse Hull went to the hospital yesterday for another
operation; one chance in a thousand if she pulls through. The Hulls are certainly having
lots of sorrow and misfortune in their family the last year, and I feel sorry for Mrs. Hull.
She is a good, hardworking, honest woman.
Nellie is going to Boulder this P.M. at 4:30 to visit some friends and tomorrow are
going to Eldora and home on the 6:30 tomorrow evening. She went to Greely Thursday
afternoon with Mr. Davis and family in his auto. It is awfully dry and hot, the worst we
ever had in Colo. All crops here will be very light and I look for pretty hard times here for
a couple of years.
Sunday Morning, July 24, 1910
Well we have just finished breakfast. Zeta, Norma, Andy and I. The girls are doing
up the dishes in a hurry and are then going to Sunday school. I hope Louise will attend
church & Sunday school regularly while there. I was wondering last night how it would be
with her in regard to the high school there. If she goes there this term, would three years
here finish her course or would she have to go the full 4 yrs here! I will have Nellie find out
about it this week.
I am enclosing you some pictures of Nellie. Zeta & Norma will have theirs take
soon. Received a letter from Ray yesterday. He was about leaving for the upper ranch where
he will be busy a couple of months haying. I wish Andy was there with him, as he can run
a mower or rake hay or ride after cattle all right, but does not seem strong enough for any
heavier work.
Well I think I will ride out to the pasture today and see the grass shriveling up. It
has been so dry, the ground has big cracks, 6 to 8 inches wide in places and ¼ of a mile
long; that is the unirragated land.
Give my love to all the folks and to yourself and Horace with good wishes for your
health & happiness. Tell Louise I will answer her letter before long.

Willis wrote a letter from Hotel West in Denver, Denver County, Colorado to his
daughter Myrna in Marion, Ohio on 22 December 1911.
Your card dated Nov 28th reached me yesterday. It has been loafing around Ft. Collins a
few weeks as it was stamped 'Missent to Ft Collins.' Well you will notice I am at the hotel
again. As you likely know by this time your mother left D. on the 17th and I expect to be
at Loveland after Jan. 1st.
I suppose you hear from Louise occasionally, I hope the trip does her some good. She
writes she is feeling better and gaining some in weight. I would like very much to arrange a
trip for Nellie during the summer months.
It is certainly good news to hear of Horace's continued improvement. It sounds
almost like a miracle. He was so low when I left Ohio. I really did not expect him to
recover.

In regard to the baths; I enclose an address that you will have to correspond with in
regard to buying territory. This is a patent right concern and they sell county rights. The
county and city of Denver sold for $1100. The first one that opened up made good money
and then formed a company and incorporated for $40,000 and opened up a large place
downtown in rather a poor location and high rent and have about went broke; simply
mismanagement. Last winter in their old place and before the company was founded, they
were giving from 40 to 50 baths a day and were clearing big money, as the total cost of the
baths here is about 11 cents each.
Harry is down here now taking a course of baths. He is getting acquainted with the
method of giving them. It would require someone that understood giving them to start up
right. Either go some place in the east where they have them or have someone to come there
and give instructions. Everyone I have talked with that have taken them speak very highly
of it. Says it beats a Turkish bath all hollow. A party went from here to Omaha. I think he
gave $500 for Omaha. Opened up a small place of 4 tubs ran it 4 months and then sold
out; cleared up $3000. Marion ought to be a good town for it. Better than a large city
because it could be advertised more thoroughly - everyone would know about it. Here in
the next block they know nothing of it. Enclosed you will find a little Xmas. You know I
don't know how to buy presents so you can buy them for yourselves. With Love to you all.

Willis wrote a letter from the Bushnell Hotel in Loveland to his daughter Myrna in
Marion Ohio on 20 October 1912.
My Dear Myrna,
Mama forwarded your letter to me and I have just received it. I left home yesterday
morning and am returning tonight.
My dear you have had a lot to contend with the last 2 years and I feel that the half
has not been told. I am sorry now that I did not go back there but as I wrote to Will
Gorton it was almost impossible at that time. I occurs to me that possible Mr. Donithen
cannot be as true to your interests as he should be, being such an intimate friend of the
Williams family. Are you and Will sure he is on the square with you? Or would it be
possible that he knew of this all the time? I wish you would consider this phase of the
matter seriously and consult with Will about it.
It hardly seems probably they can beat you out of everything. Did you receive my
last telegraph message? I wired Will Gorton at the same time and was sorry I did not wire
you in his care. In this state the wife receives ½ of the estate and if no children, all of it. If
I had known anything about the conditions you were laboring with in Aug or Sept I
would surely have been there. If you are in need of money at any time, let me know.
Am glad to hear that Nellie had a pleasant trip and hope to see you both before
many months. The car is waiting for me.
With love to you all. Your father, W. G. Boyd
Willis wrote a letter from Denver, Denver County, Colorado to his daughter Myrna
in Marion Ohio on 25 October 1912.
Dear Myrna,
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Received your letter of the 20th last night but was so tired I put off answering until
tonight. Jim and Andy came down from Loveland today; drove a span of young mules
down and brought the sitting room stove and some wood. The folks have all gone to a 5
cent show except Andy and I.
My dear girls I know this has been a terrible strain on you and you have my deepest
sympathies, and you need a good long rest and as soon as you can get your affairs settled we
shall expect you home but take all the time necessary. Nellie can start in again with her
school work whenever you can come. Sometimes I feel as if I had neglected my duties in not
going to you in your days of trouble but as you say, I don't see what I could accomplish any
more than what you are trying to do.
No one could foresee this and there is not much one can do after an insurance policy
is transferred to someone else by the insured while living. If you could prove undue
influence that John influenced Horace during his spell of weakness to change it in his favor
(as he seems to have done) you might be able to collect it. However I think you are
pursuing the best course under the circumstances. You have said nothing in regard to any
other property. I understood H. had some lots in the best part of Marion or did he sell
them. I thought he bought some lots after selling your house. I hope you succeed in making
a settlement with John. I trust you can force him to do something. In regard to your
furniture, I know it will be hard for you to part with it but as you would have to pay
storage on a large part of it your mother suggested that you dispose of all but enough to
furnish you a room and if you would keep your house awhile longer it would perhaps give
you a better opportunity to dispose of it. However if you wish to keep all of it, it can be
stored here as cheaply as there.
You must tell Cousin Will that your mother and I feel as if we can never repay him
for his kindness to you and that I know he will do and advise you as well or better than I
could if I were there. I do not know what the freight is on furniture from there to here.
You will have to find out there. Well we are having nice Colo. weather now and wish you
were here to enjoy it. I am feeling the rheumatism some the last week; the first in two years
in my left shoulder and neck tonight and it pains me considerable. Louise will undergo an
operation tomorrow morning here at home. She has adenoids in her nose and enlarged
tonsils which she will have removed. The Dr. tells me this may be the cause of her sick
spells.
I can't see to write or read very long at a time by gas or lamp light. My eyes are
paining me now. Give our love to Aunty Eva, Isabelle, Eleanor, Cousin Will and Kit and
all our people and your friends and thank them all for me for their kindness in your hour
of bereavement.
Tell Cousin Will that I consider him as better qualified owing to his knowing all
the circumstances to attend to your business than I would and that I believe he has gone
about it the very best way. If you are in need of funds, don't hesitate to let me know what
you require. With love to yourself and Nellie and hoping it may not be long before you are
with us.
Loving your Father, W.G. Boyd

Willis wrote a letter from Denver to his daughter Myrna in Marion Ohio on 24
November 1912.
My Dear Myrna,
Received your letter of the 17th and also one of Nov 6th. I should have written you
sooner but it seems I was so tired and wore out every night that I went to bed as soon as I
could after supper. This has been the first Sunday I have been home for a long time.
Yes dear, some day the mysteries of life will all be cleared away. I realize in a feeble
way how lonely you are, and hope you will come home as soon as possible. You must be
very careful in your actions and in the friends you make now and I would advise you to
always have someone with you when consulting your attorney. I do hope your confidence in
Mr. Donithen is not misplaced but according to what you have written me it seems strange
to me that he has not taken more vigorous measures in the affair. I believe it will be to
your best advantage to rely entirely upon the council of Cousin Will. Altho I have heard
from him but once since Horace's death, I know he will advise you for the best. I must
write to him. It is a shame that I have not written him, but I did not have any suggestions
to make and felt that he being there and knowing all the circumstances was better able
than I to help you.
Am glad to hear Nellie is feeling so well and is enjoying herself; you must try and get
out with her as much as you can. What you need now is a good rest away from Marion
and I trust you will be able to leave before long. I don't see why you can't be appointed
administrix at once and get it over with. Altho that might not be the wisest thing for you
to do, as it takes a certain length of time to get these matters through the court and it
would detain you longer than you with. I might be as well to let someone else act as
administrator and that would relieve you of a lot of trouble.
We were out today looking at another house; a larger one. And Zeta has it all
arranged for a nice room for you and your furniture if you wish to bring it. But I am not
certain as yet that we will stay in D. another year. It costs so much to live here that unless I
can get an increase in salary, we will move back to Loveland where we won't have to pay
rent and where living is cheaper. There isn't much in this salary business anyways. Think I
would do as well or better for myself any way. However I will know in a couple of weeks
just what I will do. Would like mighty well to sell out up there and if we could I think we
would try and buy a cattle ranch in Wyoming or Texas; would then have something for
Andy to do. He has been home here now for about a month.
Well Myrna, I hope better and happier times are in store for you in the future. I
know the last two years have been hard ones on you and I feel you have not complained
but have borne it all as a brave woman should. I expect it has been awfully hard at times
to stand up under it all and now that you are alone there you must be still brave, and do
or say nothing that will bring reproach upon you. Give my love and regards to all our
friends, with love to yourself and Nellie.

Willis wrote a letter from Clayton, New Mexico to his daughter Myrna in Marion
Ohio on 11 June 1913.
My Dearest Daughter,
AND THEIR CHILDREN
I was home Sunday; was there from Friday until Tuesday evening. Thought
perhaps you would be there or would hear about when you expected to leave Ohio for Col.
If you come this summer try and bring Aunt Eva with you, although I suppose it will be
hard for her to leave now. I am afraid after Aunt Pattie is gone, they will try and keep her
at Fannie's. You tell her (if you think best) that Harry & I expect her to make her home
with us after Aunt Pattie leaves this world.
In regards to your lots there, I believe I would pay for them and get the deeds and
have everything straitened up. Then they would be of no further bother to you, only paying
taxes. The money you left with me amounts now to $1090. I have been trying to obtain
some bank stock, but find it hard to buy. Mr. W. T. Bransom may sell me his after the 1st
of July.
Hope you are enjoying good health. Give my love to Aunt Eva and some to yourself.
Lovingly, Your Papa, W. G. Boyd
Willis wrote a letter from the LaVeta Hotel in Gunnison, Colorado to his daughter
Myrna in Marion, Ohio on 20 September 1914.
My Dear Myrna -
I often wonder how you are doing. I seen you so plain in a dream the other night, it
was hard for me to realize it was only a dream. I have been away from home nearly two
weeks. I suppose they are doing all O.K. or I would have heard from them.
When do you expect to return to Colorado! I fully realize Myrna that Ohio seems
like home to you and that you have many dear friends there who stood by you loyally
during your time of trouble. Friends like you have there are worth having. Some way I do
not seem to have the knack of making friends, only through in a business way.
I suppose you have heard about Louise starting to school. It worries me a great deal
to think of girls not having any occupation they could earn a living at if they had to;
something that would pay them more than a living, if I should be called sudden. I don't
know what Nellie could possibly do. She told me last fall her and Carroll were to be
married, but they have had some kind of a falling out, so I suppose that is all over with. I
don't know the cause, as she does not make a confident of either her mother or me. Louise
would have gotten along in something if it hadn't been for her sickness. She seems to be
getting over that now. Zeta is beginning to do well at school, takes more interest in her
work. I thought perhaps if Louise had something to occupy her mind, she would not think
of herself so much and it might help her in overcoming those spells.
Ray seems bound not to work for anyone but himself and I will have to put a lot of
money into teams and machinery this winter to run the farm. He has confidence in himself
that he is a good farmer, but I am doubtful. He has had no experience in farming a large
place or in managing a crew of men, but I suspect I will have to let him try it out. In truth
though, I would prefer to have him on the place, on acct of him being handy with
machinery like the pumping plant. I will have to give him credit for fixing things up on
the pumping plant in very good shape. I have about concluded to rent ½ of the place to
someone and let Ray run ½ and look after the pump as an ordinary renter; hasn't
intelligence enough to take the proper care of a valuable plant like the one on the farm.
- 503 -
After this trip I will be home all the time for about 3 months and expect to be home
in about a week. When do you think Aunt Eva will be able to leave? I can't tell now
where we will be next year. May have to move back to Loveland but I hope not for a
couple of years yet. How is Aunt Pattie? Did you make your visit you contemplated in
Pennsylvania?
Well it is about my bedtime. I have a long hard ride to make tomorrow. With love
to you and Eva and regards to all, Your Father, W. G. Boyd
P.S. Oh yes! Is there anything that Eva needs in the way of winter clothes or money?
She will not say if I ask her, so I wish you would let me know at once. Papa
Willis wrote a letter from Denver to his daughter Myrna on 8 July 1917.
My Dear Myrna,
Your letter of recent date received yesterday. We were sure all glad to hear from you.
You are certainly having quite an experience and it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to
you in the future. Don't you think though you had better layoff a while and come home for
a spell and good rest? I know it must be nerve racking work and I don't see how anyone
can keep it up indefinitely. You write about going on to see New York. The fever of
wanderlust must be getting in your blood. Of course travel, I think is good for anyone as it
gives one a broader view of life, and to a certain extent is an education but don't go so far
away you can't return. I sure was worried at not hearing from you for so long.
Dear Myrna, don't think that I forget you. I think of you every day and to a certain
extent I understand what you have borne since your marriage and since Horace's death. I
know your mind has been uneasy and you work and work and try to look at the brighter
side of live but at times the past looms up before you and the happiness you expected to
have and is gone, makes you feel as if life was not worth the living. But Myrna dear, you
must banish such thoughts from your mind, remember that! He who called your soul to life
does all things for the best. While His ways are inscrutable to the minds of men, we must
accept them and hold fast to our appointed duties here on earth, doing the best we know
how according to our several abilities. Ever bearing in remembrance that when we are
about to quit this life, we shall hear the welcome word, 'Well done, thou faithful servant.
Enter thou into the blessings of thy Lord.' You have a work to do, to relieve the weary, aid
the distressed and comfort the unhappy and to my mind one of the noblest works of
mankind. And I do not doubt, but you will find happiness and peace of mind. I know that
everyone wherever you go, thinks a lot of you and you must not let the ghost of old
memories dishearten you, but ever look forward to a better time coming. We all have our
trials and tribulations that we have to put up with and we must accept them with the best
of spirit.
Yes Myrna, we have a good deal to be thankful for the last year. And especially for
Louise. I am going to Loveland tomorrow after Momma and Louise and will take your
letter up with me and then they can answer all your questions as soon as they get home.
May not return before Tuesday afternoon. This is Sunday you know. Aunt Eva, Nellie,
Peggy and I are all that sat down to dinner rather, a small family for us. Ray has worked
hard all summer. Had a hard time getting in the crop on account of so much wet weather
and then it has turned so dry and he has had trouble with the irrigation plant. I sure feel
sorry for him but I don't know how I would have gotten along without his help on the
AND THEIR CHILDREN
farm. But am sure going to sell that place and buy one that is easier handled. Ray looks
rather thin and worn out with work and worry. Nellie got her position through some
friends of mine at the stock yards. It does not pay very well and only last about 3 months
but may lead to something better. It is sure a healthful occupation. I think it pays her $50
per month. She works from two P.M. until nine P.M. every day except Friday.
I am glad to say we are all enjoying good health. Andy, I think, is getting all right
and is working for the man that bought Uncle Jim out. By the way, Tottie was married a
short time ago to Mr. Pease, the man that bought Jim out. I want to thank you for the
picture you sent me some time ago and hope before long to see the original of it here in
Colorado. Come west instead of east Myrna. Don't you think that would be best. Well,
well, what a long letter. The most I have written at one time for years. It has been hot and
dry for a month but looks like rain today and is cool and nice. When I am here I generally
take Nellie to her work and go after her at night. Now dear, I hope to see you out here
before long.
With love and best wishes for you, lovingly, your father, W. G. Boyd.

Dearest Myrna,
After so long I am writing you. I am ashamed of myself for not answering your other
letter but somehow I could not find words to express my sympathy for you. I can realize in
a dim sort of way how you felt during the convention in San Francisco and the months
between that and the election. How you would have enjoyed it all if Horace had lived.
You and he would undoubtedly have taken an active part in the campaign.
My dear, you have had so much more sorrow and trouble than the rest of us. I often
think of you and wonder how you manage to retain you cheerfulness. I know a great
sorrow, such as you have been through, sometimes makes better men and women than they
otherwise would have been. It seems to refine them and enables them to be more
sympathetic and understand the troubles of others more clearly. Take your mother and I,
we have raised a family and as you say, all good, industrious men and women and no
"black sheep" among them. And in all these years never had any serious trouble or sorrow
to come into our lives. I know we owe it all to your mother, whom I know to be the
sweetest, kindest and most loyal woman that ever was a wife and mother.

And what make me so worried and blue over the present financial situation is that
another year would have put us beyond the need of working so hard and saving everything
and every way we could. I have been looking forward the last few years and figuring that
when I was 60 years old, she and I could have a kind of delayed honeymoon. Could go to
Ohio, California and travel some and enjoy ourselves a little during the remainder of our
allotted time. But it seems that fate or something has willed it otherwise. I can't see just
now how I will come out of this crash but I hope at least not to lose everything as some of
my friends have. But I know that this last year has left us $15,000 worse off than a year
ago and perhaps more. The next two months will tell the tale. If we can get our notes on
the farm renewed, I think I can handle it, I mean the rest of it. You can't realize how I
appreciate your offer, but Myrna, you've done enough now. I have some Liberty Bonds I
may have to sell. About $1,200 worth and if I do I would rather let you have them at the
discount I would have to take. It would make a good investment for you. Better than a
savings account. A year ago nobody would take the money. Keep it and use it, I don't need
it they would say, but so different now. If these lowering of prices had come more gradually
it would not of been so hard. I guess we will get along some way.
I have just read your last letter again somehow I knew you felt that way about
Horace. I you had felt the opposite you would of talked about it but when one has gone
through what you have, and all you have left is sweet memories and can forget the ugly
times, it is a great blessing. Everyone speaks of you as such a good, sweet woman and many
have asked me why you had not married again. All I could say was I guessed the right one
hadn't appeared.
You have a noble profession and am glad to know you are making good. Although I
know you would. Of course I wish you girls all had employment her in Denver where we
could be together but very few families as large as ours are as fortunate as that. It don't
seem so far to Griffin, but it does seem a long ways to Hollins Va. Well today is the 27th
and I started this letter on the 23rd. I will be taking Momma to the train in about 20
minutes. She leaves at 9 a.m. this morning for Fort Morgan to visit a few days with Zeta.
She will also stay a day or so at Brush with Aunt Florence.
What we owe on the house is not due for a year yet. I sure want to save it, your
mother enjoys is so much as we all do. Just think, a year ago, we figured (and the bankers
figured the same way) that we were worth $150,000 that is that we had that much
property and owed at that time $50,000 leaving us worth $100,000 net, that is at last
year’s prices. And now being hard pressed to save it. They have put the interest rates on
money so high it is almost impossible to make it. Interest, taxes and water rent on farm
amount to nearly $5000 a year. Two years ago I helped Ray out with $3000 and last year
with $2000, and he had all the farm brought in except $5000. So you see I run behind
each of these years $2500 to $3000. Ray is a good man, a good farmer and honest, but he
likes to try to do too much with the capital we have to work on. Oh well, no use to burden
you with all this. Yes dear I will keep you informed of how things are going. Am going to
see a banker today. Have got to go now, will write more this eve.
January 3Oth. Well I will try and finish this letter tonight. Alice called up about
nine o'clock this morning and asked us out to a chicken dinner. So Louise, Eva, Grandma
and myself went out and enjoyed a fine dinner and have just returned. Expect Momma in
AND THEIR CHILDREN
from Fort Morgan anytime now. She went down Thursday morning I think everything
will come out OK. Speaking about your money. I have 50 shares in the Merchant's Fire
Insurance Co. that have a book value of $28.80 per share. And if I have to sell them it
would be a good investment for you at $20 per share (that is what they are selling for now)
and would pay you 5% on the money and be a safe investment for you. So if I need it, will
sell you the Liberty Bonds or the 50 shares, that would be $1000 for the 50 shares. I will
let you know about the 1st of March. Cattle and sheep market appear to have no bottom.
Going down all the time. I have 300 cattle on feed that look as if they would lose from
$12 to $15 per head.
With lots of love to you and thanking you for your kind offer, your affectionate,
Father.
Congratulations on your coming birthday. Hoping you will have many more.
Willis wrote a letter from Denver to his daughter, Myrna, on 14 June 1921.
My Dear Myrna,
I suppose you and Nellie are in Marion at the present and I hope you are enjoying
yourselves. You wrote me about the Longmont Hospital. Dr. C. F. Andrews, one of the
owners was in here yesterday with his cattle, so I spoke to him about it. He says their head
nurse or matron is to be married Aug. 1st and they will have to replace her. He told me the
hospital population is about 660 patients per year, with about 400 operations, and
wanted me to have you write him at hope, giving him your references, and also where you
have studied. You will know what to write him. Of course, I don't know what the salary
would be. The hospital is gaining quite a reputation. If I were you, I would try and stay
where there is the most money and I meant to ask him how long the present head nurse
had been with them. Of course if they change very often it wouldn't seem so good. We
would sure like to have you nearer home, but do the best you can for yourself.
We have had very high waters in all the rivers in Col. Lots of damage to farms on
the river bottoms around Loveland and Greeley about. Lewis King that lived south of our
old place, just across the road from Jacob Cooks, lost all he had but his house and barn.
His farm covered with mud and debris; logs, brush and rocks. Cost him about $2000 he
told me. John Swartz, Jacob Cook, Jacob Bath and a few others were heavy losers. Washed
out about 4 acres of beets for us at Loveland. No damage to farm down here in fact, done
lots of good.
We are looking for Nellie now before long and I hope she will plan a good rest as she
has surely been working hard the last few years. I want her to nothing but best all the time
she is here. Tell her she can have her breakfast in bed every morning and if the women
folks won't carry it up stairs, I will wait on her myself.
Wishing you success, good health and the best of everything. Give my love to Nellie
and all inquiring friends my kindest regards.
Lovingly, Your Father, W. G. Boyd

My Dear Myrna,
- 507 -
Am sorry I have not written you sooner. There has been such a hubbub around her
for a month. However everyone is gone now. Even Mama has been gone ten days, but
expect her home today. Tony took our car and went to Estes Park yesterday morning and
Louise, John & Eleanor went along, also Aunt Meg as far as Loveland. Expect Tony,
Louise & Mama back today. Aunt Meg and her granddaughter Margaret Crowley (Chas.
Stott's daughter) and baby got in from Wyoming last Monday. She also went away last
evening to visit a Mrs. Brott. I think they plan on going to Estes Park today. No one here
now but Peggy, well and myself. I think the Pease family are enjoying themselves. Of course
I can't take them around as much as I would like on account of being short of cash.
Yes Myrna there was $300 of P.O. money orders. Then Nellie gave me another
$100 for you, so that makes $400 of yours. And Nellie sent me a $100 so that makes
$500 in all. I shall hang on to this till next spring as that is when we will need money and
need it bad. Have been trying to sell one of the farms but can't sell anything. Threshed on
the upper farm this week. Wheat made 40 bushel per acre which is very good for this year.
Price went off 20 cents per bushel since we commenced threshing; selling now at 96 cents
per bushel. We got 1100 bushels for our share. Ray expects to thresh next week. He has a
good crop.
Notice what you say about Longmont. Think you had better sit tight for awhile. No
Fanny has not told us any of your plans. You say you have written to Gen. Sawyer at
Washington D. C. Of course I know he is Presidents Harding's physician, but what is it
all about!
Nothing doing to speak of at the stockyards. The range men are commencing to ship
their cattle and they are selling so low they are losing a great deal of money. I wonder when
it ever will turn the other way.
Well we all have one thing to be thankful for and that is we all have had good
health. I suppose Mama will write you and tell all about her trip. I wanted to take a
month off this summer but I guess I will have to wait until next year. I wish you would
write me oftener. It kind of cheers me up to receive a letter from you. Well goodbye for this
time. Hope you are having good health.
Lovingly, your father, W. G. Boyd
Willis wrote a letter from Denver to his daughter, Myrna on 6 June 1923.
My Dear Myrna,
I am writing you in regard to an investment that will pay you better than a savings
deposit. I refer to the Merchants Fire Ins. Co. of Denver. It has been doing business for 19
yrs and has never failed to pay a dividend. I have had 50 shares of stock for which I paid
$800. It has paid me 7 ½ percent all the time. That is $60 a year on the $800 and in the
meantime has increase in value nearly double. At the present time they are issuing
additional stock. I am selling what Liberty Bonds I have and will take all I can of this
stock. We only have until the 10th of June to decide and make application for what we
want. I believe it is a good investment, so if you care for any, wire me upon receipt of this
letter how many shares you can take. $16 per share is what it is selling for.
Andy leaves today with Tony so you will see them both before long. I wish you
would come home soon. Better take your Yellowstone Park trip next year. Everyone here at
home feeling fine. Telegraph me at once if you want any stock.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Lovingly, your dad, W. G. Boyd

Willis wrote a letter from Denver to his daughter Nellie on 14 July 1934.
Dear Nelley,
Well here I am all alone. Of course you have heard before. This where the rest of the
gang is; I expect Peggy & Naomi home this afternoon. I have been living on milk and rice
with a couple of meals at Mrs. Timpte every day throwed in.
Ray has commenced harvesting cutting barley today. He himself is irrigating corn.
His crop look as good or better than some o thers. I am putting on 4 new tires on the Essex
and getting it ready for Myrna and Edna Brown for next month. I thought for a while I
might get a new car, but will have to postpone it until next spring. The cattle we fed this
year will make some but not much, so will live in hope of a better year next winter.
You write you are lonesome there. Why can't you go to some camp and stay? Only
about another month you will be on your way home. I think the trip will do you a lot of

good. Next summer a nice trip would be out to Seattle, Portland and down the coast to
Rivera and Andy and the children. I myself would like so much to see them.
I have been very well so far although this hot weather kind of wears me out. About
next Wednesday I will go the Park after Mama. She could just as well stay there longer as
long as Peggy is here. Peg, Mrs. Wilcox & Naomi just arrived from the Park; left Mama &
Raymond at Uncle Harry's. Naomi did so much hiking it made her sick. Peg put her to
bed. She looks rather bad all in. I have drive out towards Longmont this P.M. We all will
be glad to have you home.
In the meantime, love to you and regards to Miss Greenawalls.

Willis wrote a letter from Pico, Los Angeles County, California a friend at the
Denver stockyards on 19 June 1935.
Mr. John Hoyt, Denver Colo.
Friend John,
Two weeks ago tomorrow we arrived here. Had a nice time on way. Good weather
and good roads all the way; came by Ogden, Salt Lake, Utah, Lovelock, Fallon & Carson
City, Nev. to Stockton, Oakland, San Francisco and down the coast to this place.
We are nicely located here in this little town; 11 mi. from L.A., 17 mi. from Long
Beach and 5 mi. from Whittier. 1928 mi. from Denver, the route we came. We have just
been taking it easy and resting.
Last Sunday we went to the San Fernando Valley; about 10 mi. back in the mts.
up the Seesepi River to look at an oil well the Cross estate is interested in. They own 218
acres right on top of a peak. It is an old established field; wells up there been producing oil
40 years, shallow wells - 600 to 800 feet. In going up to where they are drilling, the last
500 ft we had to crawl on hands & knees to get to them. They use a Caterpillar Tractor to
haul up supplies. Two barrels of gasoline is all it can haul up at a time. The day we were
there was every indication of oil; the well is down 360 ft. The soil or sand they brought up
was saturated with oil and plenty of oil in the bailer. The driller told me it looked very
favorable but could not say he would obtain oil in paying quantities. If he strikes a good
flow of oil they expect to drill 7 more wells on the property. Lets drink one for luck to the
driller and to the heirs of Andy Cross.
John I have been to L.A. yds once and met all the Denver lads. They all appear to
be satisfied with the layout and doing well. I was there on the 10th, the board quoted D.
25 to 50 cents lower. I wonder if Coxey has marked any of his steers. If he has I wish you
would let me know what they bring. I wrote to Milt but have not heard from him. I am
just anxious to know. We will be here for 2 wks longer at least.
I have been out to a few feed yds near here where they feed barley malt, sweet corn
ensilage, alfalfa and cotton seed meal. The cattle appear to be doing fine. Albert J. Reed
who used to live at Dolores, Colo (I bet Ray knows him) is feeding some drought steers
from Arizona. According to his accounts they make remarkable gains, a good better than
we do in Colo. However I will tell you all about it as it seems so preposterous in black &
white. I tried to be high-brow on this long word and run off the track some way. However
an old school teacher should know what it means.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Well John this is a nice place to live, warm during middle of day and real cool
nights. I feel that I would like to pass the rest of my allotted time in Southern Cal, even if
we did have a little quake yesterday morning at 3:15 A.M. I happened to be awake (you
know an old man has to go to the toilet at least once during the night) you don't have to
read that part out loud! I had just straightened out in bed when it seemed as if some big
strong man was shaking the bed. It lasted 3 or 4 seconds. The windows rattled, also some
pictures hanging on the walls. And then for 2 or 3 min. a dull roar like low, distant
thunder and then it was all over. Woke my daughter, wife slept through it all. Last night
my son was telling me about at Long Beach year ago. He said his house rocked so he could
not stand up. I don't want anything of that kind. This section is one of the best citrus
growing communities in the state; plenty of cheap water and good soil. We are living
principally on vegetables and fruits. Out eat cost us .90 to $1.00 per day for the three of us
and then we have a nice apartment furnished; two bedrooms, kitchen, large living room,
toilet & bath, $18 per month, not so bad eh!
When I left D., John, I intended making an ocean journey to Hawaii but upon
investigating I find the fare is $275 for a 15 day tip, 5 days going, 5 at the island and five
returning. That sounds pretty high to spend on old codger. I figured it would be better to
help a brother in Fallon Nev. And a son with two nice kiddies here in Cal. If I had made
that voyage I would have something to talk about. Well I have written a rambling
round-about letter. Not anything of value but nothing I hope that will injure any one. So
now I am ringing off. With my best wishes and regards to yourself, Sam, Oscar and all the
rest of the D & E bunch that I know. I wish you would tell R. Miller that I am sending
my regards & respect to that fine old gentlemen with the nice beard.
Goodbye & Good Luck to all the stock yd boys respect. Your Friend, W. G. Boyd
Margaret wrote a letter from Denver to her daughter, Myrna on 12 October 1936.
Dear Myrna,
I have been busy all this week and as Mattie came home last night, I sure feel
relieved, as Nellie is getting behind in her reports when she tries to help me too. But it was
a relief to be alone for a few hours each day, yet I worked most of that time. But it was
quiet. Mattie said you wanted me to come up but I don't feel equal to it and I want to get
things off to Vay. We sent one box and still have things to fix and send but will get the
pads ready in a day or two. A card from Louise, I'll enclose, and we think they are in Los
Angeles this week and a few days first of week in San Francisco. They were down to San
T. Oct. 3rd. I think Tony is looking up business, hence his going there so often and from
that I think they will be home by the end of one month.
Mattie just told me, she told you, Alice had a girl. Mattie didn't know, she had just
got a woman to wash and iron and what else she could do in one day each week. The
Boyd's were in Sunday as Dad got a big beef roast in Longmont and wanted them in and
when Alice talked to Bob, he was coming down Sunday morning and Nellie took him to
the 5:15 Boulder bus and he went back last night. He is working in a soda parlor and
likes it very good, but last Friday he worked from 3 p.m. til 10 p.m. (that's his everyday
work). But he was out to a school party Friday night and didn't get home til 1 a.m. then
Saturday had to work til past 12 midnight cleaning up things, so he was so tired he looked
- 511 -
distressed when here. Ray's back still hurts him but is some better than a few weeks ago.
They have another man in prospect if things work out who will live on the farm and feed
the cattle and do odd jobs between times, as Old Al, seems to be failing quite fast and don't
have the pep he did have.
All at their work this a.m. and I want to write a letter to Peg and one to Louise
and Tony at Rivera to let them know Joanne is doing fine; was here yesterday and at Aunt
Marie Timpte's all last Sunday. The old aunts are doing fine since Aunt Marie got over
her pleurisy that came during the storm. I'll write you a card when we get any word from
the wanderers. Hope your case is better. Lots of love from all.
Your loving Mamma
Margaret wrote a letter from Denver to her daughter Myrna on 22 October 1936.
Dear Myrna,
We have just been waiting for a card or "sumpin" from California but nothing so
far this week. And Mat tie got her wash done Monday and dried OK and have had same
kind of weather as "you alIs" have had and trees -heavy with snow and yellow leaves,
broke some more, but not bad, shrubs -simply crushed. It may stop the beet digging, but
will be a help in many other ways and maybe into the next year . Got your letter of 21st
and will paste that address on the box and let Nellie mail it. It was so icy this morning, she
got up early and went out on street car. Still cloudy and looks like more snow to come
down. Nellie came home Monday eve from school and said about 10 a.m. she begun to
chill and her nose run a stream but she got some aspirin tablets and begun to drink soda
water and took 4 tablets by 3:30 p.m. but felt pretty "perk" by time she got home, and
seems OK since. Dad walked all day Monday, came home about 4 p.m. very tired but got
his glass of "lifter" as Peg calls it and took a little rest before eats and we listened to hear
Landon, but he failed to make connections. Dad felt pretty good till this mom 4 o'clock, he
called me to get him some boiled milk and he was up very often and when Nell came down
(early) for her breakfast, I told her. I had asked him if we shouldn't call Dr. Smith, he
didn't answer me, so Nell asked him and he did answer her either, so she called Dr. Smith
and told him to stop on his way downtown. He came near 8 a.m. and did a lot of
questioning as to his eats for a few days and when I told him, we thought it might be flu,
he said no, there was a poison infection in bowels and for him to go to drug store and asks
for a dose of castor oil and he could go on about his work and if he could break loose a
little early today, to come home and rest some.
Rest are plodding on as usual. Joanne didn't go to school Monday a.m. as there
was real streams running along the curbing but soon as it begun to snow the water soon
run off and she went to school in p.m. Last night Nellie had a long talk over the telephone
and she said she was writing a story and called it "Cat and dog". Not a very pretty name
and it sounds funny. I can't remember all she said, she wrote but just 3 or 4 word sentences
and Nellie suggested, the dog might say something to the cat and then the cat answer and
then ask the dog something. She said "Oh yes, hunky dory, I'll do that and call you again
later." But Nellie said grandpa will be going to bed soon so you better not call tonight and
I'll try to see it when I get home tomorrow night, and she said OK I'll write it tonight.
We may possibly get a card or "sumpin" his p.m. mail then I'll write a card. It is
too cloudy to sew much, so guess I'll try and write Peg a long letter today and get it off on
AND THEIR CHILDREN
the 6:15 collection in box at car line. Am sending cards that I don't think you have seen.
You can send them on to Eva if you have time to write her, also send this letter if you want
to. I sent her a card last Monday.
I think I better get busy on Peg's letter while I am in the mood to write. Myrna, do
you ever see the Rocky Mountain News? The editorials have been good, better and best so
far this week. I am sending them to Peg and got Mrs. Waters paper to send to Andy. Those
editorials are so honest and humane and worth reading and rereading.
Best Wishes to you and lots of love, Momma
Selections for Margaret Elizabeth (Cross) Boyd's 1938 Diary.

Margaret wrote a letter to her daughter Myrna about her husband Willis' health just
two weeks before his death.
Dear Myrna,
I am writing you first one about Dad's setback he got Tuesday 4 p.m. He had sat
up at desk about an hour, then got into the big chair and I was with him when he said to
me "I must get to bed." When he was on his feet, he said take me to toilet so I did and
when he started to the bed he said, "I'm so weak I can't get to the bed". "Oh yes, I'll help
you and you'll make it." He was almost too weak to turn around, but did and I said now
lie down and I take off your shoes." Mrs. S. was fixing him some eats, as he had refused
eats at noon and until that time. He said, "Tell her to hold up my eats".
I went to the door and she put out the gas and came in and took his pulse, then gave
him the last tablet of one kind of medication. So she told Hazel to go and get the
prescription tilled again. When I went to the kitchen., Mrs. S. came out and asked me if
she shouldn't call Doctor. I told her yes, so she went upstairs to talk to Doctor but he was
out and they would get in touch with him. Soon she got word he would be there in early
AND THEIR CHILDREN
eve. He came in and didn't let Dad know we had called him, (and this was his off day) as
he had been coming only every 2 days, for several days. Dad said, "Why did you come
today for?" Doctor said "I was so near, I came in to look at you and see how frisky you
was". Dad said, "I guess I 'most frisked out. Why do you suppose I had this kind of a spell?"
Doctor said it was more a mental worry than anything else, but looked at Dad and said,
"I think you will come through OK" That seemed to relieve him and by midnight he
begun to sleep. Doctor had stopped some of his medications about Friday; didn't think he
needed it. Doctor here this morn again.
Dad had Hazel call Ray to come in and fix up his checkbook and that is all done,
and they are talking about a few cattle that could come in next week to sell. I want to
write Eva and Harry and get it off today's mail.
All so very busy but OK Lots of love and best wishes, Mamma
Willis received a letter from his daughter Myrna only 5 days before his death which is
a true tribute to his love for his family:
"But remember how lucky and grand it has been that almost all of such a large
family have lived so many years so near and could so often all be together. And we your
children and grandchildren will always think of the times around your table and in your
home that you both gave to us all. Not many families can look back or ahead to such and I
know all are of the finest, as we should be after you and mothers training and home life."
Willis' obituary was published in the Denver Daily Record Stockman on 15 March
1939.
Funeral Services for Willis G. Boyd will be held in Loveland and Denver
Funeral services for the late Willis G. Boyd, prominent Denver stock yards operator,
who died at his home in this city Tuesday, will be held at Loveland, Colo., Saturday, at
2:00 p.m.
Following the services at Loveland, the remains will be brought to Denver where
services will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the chapel at Riverside cemetery followed by
cremation.
Boyd who was 79 years old at the time of his death was a familiar figure around
the Denver Union stock yards for many years.
Born at Marion, O., the deceased came to Colorado with his parents in 1873. The
family settled on a ranch five miles north of Loveland near Boyd lake, created by an uncle,
Maj. Harry Boyd.
Young Boyd began his cattle experience in Wyoming and Montana in 1878. Later
he was editor of a newspaper at Grand Junction, Colo., and at Loveland.
Boyd operated one of the first feed lots in Loveland and is said to have been the first
man to use beet pulp as a feed for cattle. He also operated a meat market business in
Loveland.
In 1909 he moved to Denver and associated himself with a leading commission
firm here, later becoming a partner in the business. Boyd purchased feeder cattle on the
Denver market for many years and shipped them to customers throughout the entire West.
- 517 -
He was a ardent horseman, a 32nd degree Mason and was past master of the
Loveland lodge. He was also a member of the Denver Live Stock exchange.
Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Margaret Cross Boyd, whom he married in
1886; four daughters, Mrs. Myrna B. Williams, Loveland; Mrs. C. E. Wilmot, Eureka,
Calif., Miss Nelle Boyd and Mrs. T. C. Tmpte, Denver; two sons, R. J. Boyd, Arvada,
and Andrew Boyd, Rivera, Calif.; several brothers and sisters, and five grandchildren.
Willis' funeral was described by the Loveland Reporter and Herald.
Pioneer Honored at Last Rites
Impressive funeral services for the late Willis G. Boyd, pioneer cattle buyer of this
district, were conducted Saturday afternoon at the Rice Chapel, C. L. Dean, pastor of the
First Christian church officiating. The Masonic quartet, composed of E. J. Anderson,
William Angove, Jay Ferguson and Kendall Hammond, accompanied by Mrs. Walter
Price, sang "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Remember Now Thy Creator." Many beautiful
floral tributes were sent in his memory.
The Masonic ritual was conducted at the Chapel and also in Riverside cemetery in
Denver, where cremation was held, with Oscar Riker presiding as worshipful master. The
deceased was Master of the Loveland Masonic lodge in 1897, 1898, 1900, 1907, 1908.
The pallbearers were Nels Martin, Lee Gard, Charles Cole, Len Kmper, John Hoyt and
John Lutz. ...
Margaret wrote a letter from Denver letter to her daughter, Myrna on 30 March
1939.
Pleasant night and warmer day, Look like all feeling equal to everything.
Dear Myrna,
It is such a relieved feeling that Miss Soetje is with you. And she is such a messenger
to us, for every few days, here comes the longest message from her on a card. I hope you
have had some sleep since you were home last but this ice cold weather. I was praying you
might be spared a trip out nights in the ice and now. I guess Harry and Eva told you about
Mr. Lutz coming out and talking to us and gave us some good advice (Harry and Eva
thought so too).
And the lawyer, Winton Harvey is rushing the probation of will, so he can get a
court order to release the feed, to feed on, as the whole estate will be tied up for a year. Ray
is coming up to Willie Gard's Monday, April 3rd, and will see you as he may have a paper
for you to sign, (a consent of probation of the will) to which all heirs have to give consent.
If you are not in town, leave word where you can be found. We are sending the document
to Peg (airmail) tonight and if it is back in time, Ray will see you and get your signature
and it will be OK A card from Eva today and I'll let you read it. A letter from Ed to tell us
he was so shocked to hear Dad was gone, as the last letter Eva wrote he was feeling better
and to thank us for the check that Ray wrote for Dad March 1st. He is feel very good now
as his rheumatism feels better since it is quite warm there. Still getting letters from friends
and a few flowers that cheer us up quite a bit.
Hazel was out Wednesday p.m. and Nell and I were over to dinner with Louise.
Tony's been gone a week or more; expect him Friday or Saturday. Lots of snow in
mountains where he had been and slowed him up. I didn't sleep any to good last night so
AND THEIR CHILDREN
will go to bed quick if not sooner. AU are feeling very good, just very busy. And Friday is
last day of school for one week vacation then we may see you. Don't bring too many eggs if
you should drive down; we don't eat so many now. Take care of yourself and our love and
thanks to Mrs. Bonnell, ta ta.
Lot of love, Momma.
PS. Mailed 100 cards last Sunday night at the post office. I may send you a few if
you need some.
Margaret wrote a letter from Denver to her daughter,
Myrna on 8 April 1939.
Dear Myrna,
Your letter came as you intended it, and attorney
Harvey came at 5 p.m. to have me sign some papers. Nellie
and Louise was here too; first time Nellie had met him. He
explained all about each paper and why he was doing thus
and so and the girls as well as myself feel he is very careful of
everything and working for our benefit. And since that
paper is here with all signatures, the date of probation is set
for Monday, 10 a.m. at courthouse, when Ray and Louise
and (any other of you children who can be here) will meet Margaret (Cross) Boyd
the signers of the will, before the attorney and all other
officers necessary to affirm me administrix of the estate. Then attorney Howard can get a
court order to release Ray's 1/2 of feed and maybe get Dad's 1/2 feed released as it was
raised on my land, see. Otherwise they think Ray can buy Dad's half by note to me just as
business gesture, attorney says, so we (or Ray) can use the feed. If you could be here for the
day, you could come upstairs at north door of county and state building and we will be
upstairs over the north entrance of building.
I stayed all night at Louise and came home this a.m. with Tony. Nell and Laura
was going out last night and Hazel went home Thursday 10:15 bus and I couldn't be
alone very well, so now I am rushing this out to our only Saturday mail delivery. I sure
think you are busy and don't over-do to come down Monday. Nell said she could be there
if it was necessary. Attorney said one heir was enough but all heirs who could be there were
welcome. It was perfectly all right as the signed paper got here OK by Monday 8th. Nell
and Hazel cleaned the 2 closets downstairs and found a brown pair of Dad's pants alive
with moths and millers, but I rolled the pants in a newspaper and took it to ash pit and
burned the whole thing up. Nell has been busy with her dresses since I wouldn't let her
paint Dad's room woodwork and maybe mine. I just told her we would get a man to paint
as those 4 big windows would take a lot of careful and slow work and she had more
planned at other things that she couldn't get the 1/2 of her plans carried out. Also, we
would have a man wash walls in kitchen also all windows up high.
I want to make a will and we asked the attorney about a will, a joint tenure, or
deeding to each heir parts of property. He gave his advise and explained about each way
and we can tell you what he thinks best and easiest way to do each when we see you as he
told us to. I feel an administrator other than in the family should be chosen and who could
- 519 -
you suggest for that place? Nell will call Miss Svetja and tell her what you asked. I have
gotten so many Easter sympathy cards and I just can't write any myself so later I'll get
picture card of interesting places around her and acknowledge their cards. What you think
of that plan? I have written over 125 cards and letters and notes during Dad's sickness
since January 1st besides the 125 or more thank you cards. I haven't even acknowledged
many of my Christmas presents. Almost mail time so hope to see you soon and I'll rush this
out to you. Tell Ettie K I haven't forgotten her, but too nervous to write much and I'll talk
to any and all later when I see them. Lovely letter from Edna Phinney and for you too.
Can't talk any longer so, ta ta.
AIl feeling very well, only busy. Your busy, Mother.
Margaret wrote a letter from Denver to her daughter, Myrna on 15 January 1940.
Dear Myrna,
We are all fine, but plenty cold and snow. I tried to get this out for today's a.m.
mail, but failed. Louise got a letter from Peg last Friday mail. Then Peg expected to be
here tonight, but her letter said "I may have to come a week later because I have to pack
everything ready to move as Clem may be moved out of Eureka. But if not to leave here,
we think we can get a larger apartment in this place, upstairs, if so, I want to move Clem
up and get him settled, or have things packed for a longer move while I am gone". At the
last she said they would wire when she left Oakland, California and if we got no wire, she
would be leaving up there Saturday 2Oth.
I meant to send you a card this mom but now you should have this letter Tuesday
a.m. train. I am forwarding your Merchant's Fire Insurance Company dividend, I think
it is, today's mail. Hope you get it. NeIl and Blanch Ferguson went to Greeley Sat. and
back Sun. p.m. and Louise took me to her home for Sun. dinner and Mrs. C. went to her
daughters for most of the day. Louise had your potato in the kettle for dinner too. About
10:30 Albert Cross came out to see us and Louise said bring him out too, but he and a
man and wife, came down last week and have a camp cabin on top of a bill above Cherry
Creek Fed. Blvd. I think Albert and the man are going to enter as riders in bronco tests.
He said he would be in to see us when NeIl was home. I told him to let me know when
they could come and we would have a diner ready for them. I'll let you know by card,
when and what we hear form Peg. Mrs. C. will take this to the comer mail box and it will
be in the P .0. ready to go up on first train Tues. 16th. Harry and Eva didn't show up
Sun. so feel they won't be down for stock show. No one from Wyoming but Albert.
Lots of Love, Mamma
Margaret wrote a letter from Denver to her daughter Myrna on 13 December 1941.
Dear Myrna,
I didn't have enough money to pay for the turkeys when you were her Thursday, so I
am sending it now & if not enough to pay for all & the chickens you brot, while ago, I'll
pay you more later.
Hope you get thro with your cases before Xmas day. I got a letter from Mary
Galligan today & she is very poorly with high blood pressure & she tries to care for Libbie
& herself but her Dr. is nice & kind to her & told her she was liable to go in one of her
bad spells. Then she said Libbie will have to go to an institute where she won't be happy &
AND THEIR CHILDREN
she feels she will soon pass on from loneliness. Said Will came & took them to Burlingame
near San Fran. for Thanksgiving & a few days visit for which they were very thankful for
& enjoyed much.
I am up quite a bit each day but if Clem & Peg get here Sunday P.M. or Monday I
may not be dressed yet. Tony has been home since Wednesday with a cold but feeling better
now. I sent Mr. &Mrs. Frank a sick card as I didn't' have house number but I saw in
paper where Bob McMillen had given blood for a transfusion so think she isn't any too
well yet.
So much sickness & other sad things to think of, it can't be such a very happy
holiday season. I am still sleeping good & working hard not to worry & think I am doing a
very good job & will do my best to do as all want me to. Just hoping you can be here Xmas.
Ever your loving, Momma

An invitation to the wedding for Myrna Elizabeth Boyd and Horace

Stephen Williams in Loveland, Colorado said it would take place on
Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m., 24 November 1909.
Their wedding was reported by a paper in Marion, Ohio.
Friends are given pleasant surprise. Miss Boyd and Mr. H. S. Williams
Married
Deputy Postmaster Horace S. Williams has given his friends a very
agreeable surprise in the announcement of his marriage, which was
celebrated at Lebanon [sic], Colorado, last Wednesday, Mr. Williams
being united with Miss Myrna Boyd, an attractive young woman who has
a great many friends in Marion to extend her a hearty welcome on her
arrival here, Sunday evening, with her husband.
Mr. Williams is a son of Mrs. Stephen Williams of Vine Street. He
has been identified with the local post office department a number of years
and is held in high regard by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
Today, a party of the friends of the young people gathered at the
new home Mr. Williams has prepared for his bride on Ellis court, and
decorated it with various sentiments in keeping with the occasion. The
house is covered with cards and banners.
Upon arriving home in Marion from Loveland after their
honeymoon, they found a large canvas sign, 6 foot square, tacked to the
front of their new house, reading as follows: "Uncle Sam’s married at last.
What the poor girl expected: Love. What she got: Lemons. Mr. and Mrs. Horace
S. Williams at home after Dec. 1, 1909. Friends are requested to call, kiss the
bride and stay for dinner. She is a peach, for the old man is a good judge, has
tried all kinds and would not choose a dead one. May all your troubles be little
ones, What?"
Her husband Horace was acquainted with and an associate of
William McKinley of Marion who later became President of the United
States. Horace died after only three years of marriage and it was thought
that if he had lived, he might have been part of the McKinley
administration. Before his death and unknown to Myrna, Horace changed
the beneficiary on his life insurance policies to his brother and also
transferred other property. This caused a court case for her widow's rights in
Marion after his death which Myrna lost.
Horace’s obituary was published in Marion, Marion County, Ohio.
Horace S. Williams Dies Friday Night. Death Comes After a Brave
Struggle to Recover. Hundreds of Friends Regret His Passing. Mr.
Williams serves as Deputy Postmaster a Number of Years. Leaves a
Widow, His Mother, Sister and Three Brothers - Death is Expected Some
Time.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Horace Stephen Williams, assistant postmaster, died of stomach
trouble at his home, No. 275 Mr. Vernon avenue, Friday night at 8:30
o'clock.
Mr. Williams had been ill many months, and news of his death
will come as no surprise to those who knew the serious nature of the disease
of which he suffered. His death will be learned with profound sorrow by
his hundreds of friends.
Valiantly Mr. Williams had fought off the disease which caused his
death. After months of suffering his condition became so much improved
that it was thought he was going to win the struggle for health. He again
took up his duties at the post office with renewed hope and vigor.
However, he soon began to fail and declined rapidly. His death had been
expected for the last two weeks.
Mr. Williams was born in Richmond, Indiana, December 17,
1874. He was the son of Stephen and Mary Williams, and came to
Marion in 1882.
July 1, 1904, Mr. Williams was named as assistant postmaster, and
held that important position up to the time of his death. Today, a pall of
gloom hangs over the post office, where the employees deeply feel his death.
November 24, 1909, Mr. Williams was united in marriage to Miss
Myrna Boyd at the bride's home at Loveland, Colorado. He is survived by
his widow; his aged mother, Mrs. Mary Williams; one sister, Mrs. H.
Migneault, of West Ellis, Wisconsin, and three brothers, John E., Aurthur
N. and George Williams, of Marion.
The deceased was a member of the Marion Lodge, No. 70, free and
Accepted Masons, Marion Chapter, No. 62, Royal Arch Masons, Marion
Council, No. 22, Royal and Select Masters, and Marion Commandery,
No. 36, Knights Templars.
The funeral services will be held from the late residence of the
deceased at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, and will be under the auspices of
Marion Lodge, No. 70 F. and A. M. The Knights Templars will service as
an escort. Rev. George M. Rourke, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
will deliver the funeral oration.
The post office will be closed for three hours for the funeral service
to give the employees an opportunity to attend.
A lawsuit was filed in Marion, Marion County by Myrna after her
husband's death on two life insurance policies.
Begins Proceeding to Recover Insurance. Mrs. Horace W. Williams
Begins a Suit Today. Asks Judgments in the Sum of $3,035. Mrs.
Williams States in One Case She Is Deceived into Signing Away Her
Rights in Policy - The Insurance Is All Left to Brother of Decedent.
Today, two suits to compel the payment of her dead husband's life
insurance to her instead of to his brother, John E. Williams, well-known
- 525 -
tailor, were begun in the common pleas court by Mryna E. Williams

widow of Horace S. Williams, who was assistant postmaster. The total
amount of insurance sought by Mrs. Williams is $3,035, with interest.
The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company of Springfield,
Massachusetts, and John E. Williams of Marion are name as defendants in
one suit to recover $1,000, and the Bankers' Life Company of De Moines,
Iowa, and John E. Williams are name as defendants in the second suit to
recover a judgment of $2,035.
In her first action, Mrs. Williams charges that her husband
presented to her a printed form for her signature, and that she signed it
believing, as she says he told her, that it was a from whereby he could
borrow some money on his thousand-dollar policy. She says she signed the
paper - writing without even reading it.
The printed form proved to be a waiver of her rights as beneficiary
and the making of her brother-in-law, John E. Williams, as the
beneficiary instead of herself. She signed the printed form, September 30,
1911, and avers that she relied solely on her husband's statements that he
thus desired to obtain a load.
In her suit against the Banker's Life company, for which Mrs.
Williams seeks to recover $2,035, she says her husband was totally
incapacitated by his sickness and unable to appreciate and to understand
the meaning of his act in similarly making his brother the beneficiary of
the policy carried in that company. Horace S. Williams died October 11,
1912, and at the time had carried insurance in the Massachusetts Mutual
Life from February 26, 1897, and in the Banker's Life from December 3,
1909. Following his marriage his wife was made the beneficiary of both
policies. A short time after her husband's death, Mrs. Williams discovered
that she was not to receive the insurance money and immediately protested.
Mouse & Moloney filed both petitions.
After Horace’s death, she did postgraduate work at McGee University
in Pittsburgh. She was also Director of Nurses in Cheyenne Memorial
Hospital in Wyoming and in Greeley, Colorado. She was Educational
Director of a hospital in Griffin, Georgia and on the staff Mary McDonald
and Mount Airy Hospitals in Denver, Colorado. She served as a school
nurse in Landers, Wyoming and in the WPA program in Loveland during
the great depression. Of all the jobs she held, she said her favorite was as
Larimer County Nurse.
During all this time she was active in professional societies and was a
delegate to American Nurses Association Convention many times.

Dear Dad and all,
Thinking of you so often and I am making my plans to be in
Denver, Fri. P.M. Will go to State office first, then see you all and I do
hope to remain over night. Will see how things look when I can leave here.
I was back to hotel before the other nurses came from meeting and
we soon started for Loveland. Here at 6:20 P.M. I feel better but surely
had a headache all day. Could not make a street car ride I know, so thanks
to Louise.
Well I expect you have all seen Mrs. Green & Norma, as Mary said
her mother said she intended to see Mr. Boyd if she was able to go
anywhere. I hope she got her glasses and can see. Mrs. Lawrence phoned me
yesterday to get your address because Bill Procter was going to take Jake
Zimmerman down to see you & Mother. Oscar Riker & Jim Milner &
Lee Gard & Gladys Trindale & her mother & Mr. Evans, Crosbys &
Mrs. Henderson & C. Osbourn & Mr. Sutton & Brownell boys & Howes
& J. Ferguson & John Cuningham & many others ask about you so often;
most all yesterday & today.
Dad, you do not know oh how many, many friends you have and
want to know about you and Mother. And to think of the many years you
have been able to be aware of them all and how long we have had you
both as you had each other.
Let's not pull at the bit now but remember it's your first grave
illness and it takes time and being quiet & do not worry any more than
you can help. We'll all do all we can to help and so glad we have one like
Mrs. Snedigar and our Hazel. Nelle & I have to keep going on our jobs.
Louise on hers & yours as she does so well, and what a jewel Ray is and he
has been for so long. He will carry on as he knows you would want it all

done until you can be there. I wish Andy & Peg could be nearer with their
dear ones and drop in to see you & Mother.
But remember how lucky and grand it has been that almost all of
such a large family have lived so many years so near and could so often all
be together. And we, your children and grandchildren, will always think
of the times around your table and in your home that you both gave to us
all. Not many families can look back or ahead to such and I know all are
of finest, as we should be after you and Mother's training and home life.
We've never seen you down for so long or Mother very often, so let’s
all be very grateful, be patient and it all helps. I'll try to remember names
of all who ask about you and hope to see all about Friday P.M. Mrs.
Bonnell sends best thots to you all.
Lots love from, Myrna.

She lost control of the car, which went over a five-foot embankment
at the east side and through a fence, and rolled over one complete turn.
Two of the passengers were thrown out. Damage to the 1955 vehicle was
set at $400.
On 17 February 1958 a newspaper in Loveland reported her death.

Williams, became the states 30th 1958 traffic fatality when she died early
today of injuries received Feb. 9.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Mrs. Williams, 1027 Cleveland, Loveland, succumbed in St. Vrain
hospital to injuries she received when the car she was driving skidded and
went over a five-foot embankment on Highway 87 East of Longmont.
The other occupants of the car were injured. They were Mrs. Mabel
Brickley, 77, Lincoln, Neb., and Mrs. Lawrence Peterson, 1021
Cleveland.
The three women were driving to Denver for services at the
Veterans hospital when the crackup occurred.
After the accident, the state patrol said Mrs. Williams applied the
brakes when she came upon an accident on St. Vrain Bridge. The car hit
an icy spot and plunged out of control over the embankment. It rolled over
once.
Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Mrs. Brickley are in Loveland Memorial
hospital where they are being treated.
Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Williams are pending with
Hammond's mortuary.
Myrna's obituary was published in Loveland.
Rites Slated Thursday for Mrs. Williams
Mrs. Myna Boyd Williams, widely known registered nurse of this
city, died early Monday morning in the St. Vrain hospital, Longmont,
from multiple injures about the chest, incurred in an auto accident on
Highway 87 the week previous.
A native of Loveland, she was born Feb. 5, 1887 to Mr. and Mrs.
Willis G. Boyd, pioneers of this city. After graduating from the local high
school, she entered the nursing school at Dr. Sutherlan's private hospital,
graduating in 1909.
Immediately following her graduation she was married to Horace
Williams, and they made their home in Marion, Ohio. After his death in
1912, she took post-graduate work in McGee University in Pittsburgh,
Pa.
She served as director of nurses at Cheyenne Memorial hospital,
Cheyenne, and at Greeley. She was educational director in Griffin, Ga.,
had served on the nursing staff at Mary McDonald and Mount Airy
hospitals in Denver, and was formerly a school nurse at Lander, Wyo.
Mrs. Williams served on the WPA program in Loveland, but the
work that gave her the greatest satisfaction was serving as Larimer county
nurse. She devoted her last nursing years to caring for members of her
family, many of whom she nursed in her home. She was active in her
professional organizations, serving many times as delegate to the American
Nurses association conventions.

Dear Aunt Eva,
I thought I would give you a Xmas surprise. I thank you for the
sled. We have a fine time with it but I do not hitch on wagons for they
might go off with it.
I am going to speak "The Bad Boys Christmas Stocking" in school
Tuesday afternoon and speak the same piece at the church in the evening.
Myrna and I are getting along nice in school. We will go in the second
reader after vacation and maybe in the second room too. Miss Getting's is
our teacher in the first room. We like her very much. Nellie will start to
school after vacation. She has a first reader.
Mamma gave me a nickel and I bought you a handkerchief for
Xmas. Myrna and Nellie send you the pin. Mamma has not been feeling
well for several days. She felt last night like she might have a fever but is a
little better today. I will write again after Xmas and tell you what we all
got. We all send a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you all.
Your Loving, Raymond Boyd

Dear Aunt Eva,
I expect you have been looking for a letter long ago. School
commenced September 8. Myrna and I are in the third room. We read in
the third reader, books Elementary Arithmetic with a little geography and
language which keeps us pretty busy. Nellie is in the first room and in the
A grade.
Papa got Andy a little pup, we have lots of fun with it. Papa got me
a pony last summer; I wish you was here to ride her. Her name is Nettie
and she has a little black colt. What shall we call him? When we fall off of
her, she stops for us to get on again.
Mama is going to send a picture of Papa and us children. We will
have to go to school in the morning so we will close for tonight.

Raymond wrote a letter from Muskrat Creek, Wyoming to his aunt,
Evelyn Boyd on April 1907.
My Dear Aunt Eva,
I now have in receipt your 2 letters of March 16 and April 4 and
will try and make one good letter answering them both as I don't know
when I may have a chance to write again. I may not get this to the post
office til sometime the last of the week but I must write now while I have
the time. We moved out here Tuesday and now have 21 twelve inch tile
made and 1 thirty-six inch tile, and will be at it for some time before we
get through. Four horses left camp yesterday and Ab Harrison is out after
them this morning. It is snowing to beat the band but I think it won't last
long.
You ought to see this neck of the woods. It is so dry out here and so
much alkali that a snipe won't be caught living in this creek. The only
thing that does live out here is rattlesnakes and they don't know any better.
The wind blows so hard that they don't put glass in the window and one
has to keep dodging to keep from getting knocked down by the cobblestones
that blow up and hit you all over. Even the birds look like they were
ashamed of themselves for living in a land like this. Shoshones is about 12
miles south of the Big Horn Canyon which goes through the Owl Creek
Range into the Big Horn Basin and I am about 15 miles So. of Shoshonie.
Shoeshonie is on the north western line which was built to Lander 3 years
ago and runs along the south edge of the Shoeshonie Indian Reservation.
The Big Horn River is called the Wind River along the canyon and is that
way on all the maps, so you can see how it is. I certainly will go and see the
287

Park if I get a chance and I think I will sometime this fall. I am going up
to the head of Big Wind River as soon as this job is done and will then see
Jackson Hole where all the bandits hold out. I think dad will come up here
this fall and then I can show him the range and the farming possibilities
on the reservation.
I have made up my mind to be working for Ray inside of 2 years at
something of my own. It is almost a sure thing that a sugar factory will be
built her in the near future and I am going to either lease a section of
Indian land or run a bunch of cattle on Upper Wind River or go to
Loveland and start a cement tile and block factory. I think I would like
the farming 640 acres much the best but it would take more capital than
any one of the others. The tile factory would take the least money but
would also be slow to grow into a good paying business. If I could leased
640 acres of Indian land and a factory be built here, I could be a rich
man in 10 to 15 years. This stock business would also make one
independent in 5 or 6 years and I think the cement business would do
almost as well. The chances are good here but it takes a good bit of money
or credit and lots of push.
I don't know whether I thanked you for sending that pretty girl or
not and she must have been delayed and I didn't get her til just before I
left Collins. I think you will have had a picture by the time this gets to
you. I had them taken in Loveland and the folks were to send you one.
Now for the next letter. Everyone talks about snow, snow, snow and
this is the first we have had since I came and it is as bright as can be now,
the sun is shining. I suppose you got your bail of cotton from rail car - Saw
all OK. When I get settled as I am now, I am out on the block and
barrier, alkali windswept, sand covered, sun choked hills of central
Wyoming about 15 miles south of the measly, dirty, unkempt city of
Shoeshonie and believe me I do like the country. I am with Aunt Edith's
brother Ab Harrison but will go to her place at the head of Wind River as
soon as these tile and I am in. I will try and send you a map with this
railroad in it sometime soon and make a mark on the hillside to show you
where I am.
Talk about delays, this letter may not get to the post office. for 10
days or more but I am going to seal it up and never read it over for if I do,
I would think it so crazy that I would banish it and not get another for a
month of years started to you. I received a card from Magora the other day
but that I don't amount to much and there isn't any girls up here so you
see I am lost forever. Will H. is out in Idaho and wants me to come out
there to get strong again? I guess not! You want to get over that tired
feeling and feel like I do, as happy as a lark and feel as strong as Samson. I
don't think I could tell you where I am "at" because I am nowhere or at
any rate I think it is nowhere. Next time I write the grass will be growing
AND THEIR CHILDREN
fine and if the weather is good I will get out on the hills and write you a
14 page magazine and try not to say much bad things about the country.

Andrew’s biography as recorded by his son Willis.300
Andrew Frank Boyd was named after his mother's brother, Andrew
Cross. His father was Willis Gorton Boyd. Willis G. and his brother,
Harry, came to Colorado from Ohio. Dad's mother Elizabeth Cross was a
native of Colorado. My father was one of six children. He had 1 brother
and 4 sisters. The world that Andy was born into and grew up in is almost
unrecognizable for us today. My children are always amazed that their
grandfather was actually a cowboy and surprised at some of the other
things that he did. One thing that he didn't do was to go to school very
long, which also, for that time, was not too unusual.
Your grandfather was not very
well as a boy. He was sick a great
deal of the time. Diagnostic medicine
was not very advanced and they
didn't have the tests and resources
that they have today. No one knew
then or today why he was sick, but as
a boy he was sick a lot. He fell behind
in school, because he was not
attending class as he should.
My Grandmother and
Grandfather Boyd, as well as My Andrew Frank Boyd
Grandmother and Grandfather Hull,
lived in this small town in Colorado called Loveland. Grandmother Boyd
and Grandmother Hull were good friends. They had been good friends
and neighbors for many, many years. My Dad, Andy, was 12 years older
than my mother, so to him, she was just a little girl down the street. Dad
and her two brothers, Lyman and especially Herb, were good friends. They
played together and were buddies.
The Boyds, when Dad was around 11 years old and not doing too
well in school, moved from Loveland to Denver. Grandpa Boyd, my
grandfather, had joined a firm and was working in the cattle business. He
had owned a meat market with his brother, Harry, in Loveland up until
that time. My Dad didn't want to go with them to Denver. He wanted to
stay in Loveland. He had a job for the summer, delivering ice. They had
an empty house in Loveland that he could stay in. I guess they hadn't sold

it or didn't have anyone that wanted to rent it, so Andrew stayed in

Loveland with his dog Spot and delivered ice - remember he was only
around 11! His mother, Grandmother Boyd, said that it was all right as
long as the Hulls were there to keep an eye on him. So Andrew worked all
that summer delivering ice and when the summer was over, he was
theoretically suppose to go back to school.
But he had problems in school and wasn't all that enthusiastic
about it, so instead of going to Denver and joining his family, he went
up the Big Thompson River toward Pike's Peak, to Aunt Mag's (who was
a Cross and was Grandma Boyd's sister) cattle ranch outside of Estes Park.
Dad went up and started working on this cattle ranch. He was still 11
when he went up there! He never went back to school. I think he had
made it almost through the 6th grade when he quit. It was always a source
of (what shall I call it?) chagrin to my father that he didn't have very
much education. Oh that means, he didn't feel good about it, he was a
little ashamed that he didn't have much of a formal education. Dad read,
he read the newspapers and things like that, but I don't think he read very
many books (he did have some Zane Grey cowboy books) and he had basic
mathematical skills, he could add and subtract and so forth.
He loved little notebooks that you could record things in. He used
them to keep tract of his budget, expenses and things of this nature. I
remember that when I was growing up and Dad was the foreman on the
ranch, he had all kinds of little books. Books that told when certain areas
had to be irrigated; how much irrigation various areas had received; books
that told how much they had fed to the cows; books that had long strings of
numbers in them. I think that they were necessary for his work, but I also
think that he felt more a part of the organized business world because of
those little books of his. Dad didn't write too well and some of the books
were a little hard to read and some of his spelling was imaginative. But
that's was your Grandfather, Andrew Frank Boyd.
He basically worked all of his life as a farmer and a rancher. How
long did he work on the cattle ranch? I'm not absolutely certain, I know he
went back several years to work for his aunt, Mag. At that time they
would actually have cattle drives. In the spring they would drive the cattle
up into the foothills of Pike's Peak to eat the grass there. In the fall, when
the weather began to be colder, they would drive them down. They would
then drive them in herds clear into Denver which was a pretty good trip.
What is that 75-100 miles? Dad would be apart of the roundup, with the
branding and driving the herds into Denver. Of course, by that time, my
grandfather, Willis G. Boyd, had his own business in cattle. There is still a
firm in Denver at the stock yard called, Mann, Boyd & Mann Stock Co.
which was the firm my grandfather helped found. He was a broker just
like me, except he brokered cattle instead of securities. He would help Aunt
Mag sell her cattle and get a good price for them.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
But Dad bounced all over the west. This was the time the open
range was ending, fences were being put up. We are talking about 1910 to
1914 somewhere in there. Willis G. would go into Wyoming, pick up
range cattle and drive them to meadow lands that he rented in Estes Park,
Colorado. The cattle would be fattened through the summer and then
driven down the Big Thompson river canyon to Denver, which was the
rail head, put on the railroad and shipped east to be butchered.
My dad was also a horse riding, pistol packing deputy sheriff in
Colorado. He said that nothing exciting ever happened while he was a
deputy sheriff. The biggest thing they ever had was, "someone would get
drunk and shoot up the town, or something of that nature, but no
desperadoes." I always thought that sounded exciting enough for anyone!
It was truly a different world. When Dad was a little boy, only 4 or
5, his mother wanted to go visit relatives in Wyoming and the only way to
get there was by stage coach. They rode the stage coach from Denver to
Laramie and back. He didn't remember a lot about it, except it was
bumpier than anything and took a long time. The world has changed.
But Dad was also a farmer. Grandpa Willis G. Boyd owned a
couple of farms. Dad would go out and farm them for him "on shares".
They would split the profits, if there were any. Grandpa Willis would put
up the money to get them started. By that time all his family was living in
Denver. Dad would spend a certain amount of time in Denver, but not
much, then he would go off and farm, or work a job or whatever. Dad's
older brother, Ray Boyd (Sr.) went on to college taking his degree in
agriculture. One thing that I have never understood, is why neither of
Willis G. Boyd's sons ever went into business with him. I guess I'll never
know, at least in this life why that was. Dad and Uncle Ray, his brother,
did some farming together.
Well, the First World War came along. Ray by this time was
married and had a family, and as in other wars, if you were married it
wasn't too likely that you would be called to serve. My Dad was still single
so he volunteered and went into the army. They tended to raise army units
by localities. A throw back to the civil war, when a group would be formed
from one county or city or the like. They would have their officers that
would be appointed or chosen from that same city and they would go off to
war together. There would be replacements, but basically they would stick
together. Andrew Boyd joined up with a group that was formed in Denver
- Loveland and surrounding areas. He went into training.
Andrew Frank Boyd was a very gentle guy. I have tended to be
more like my mother, noisy, volatile and so forth. But Dad was very quiet.
Anyone that knew him thought he was a good guy but very quiet. I often
thought that might have been because my mother talked so much. My
father never spanked me. He popped me once when I had ridden a horse
through a clothesline and had fallen off. He came out to see if I was hurt.
- 539 -
He picked me up, brushed me off and sent me into the house with a swat
on the hind end and said, "Now don't do that again." I don't think he
even did that much again.
And he ended up in a machine gun company! The machine gun
was a prime weapon of the First World War, with the so called, machine
gun nests. They would set up machine gun nests in close proximity to each
other with three or four machine guns in each and they could lay down a
horrible amount of cross fire across a field. Dad was actually a machine
gunner, firing the machine guns, at least in training. After they completed
their training in Fort Dix in New Jersey, they left and went overseas in the
American Expeditionary Force as it was known - the AEF. They went over
in ships. Dad said he was nervous the whole time in fear that somebody
was going to torpedo them because he didn't like to swim. But they finally
got to France, landing at La Have. They started moving up to the front.
Pop said that when they first got there they continued their
training, but there wasn't a lot going on. It was relatively quiet, there were
no big of movements of troops, there'd be artillery fire and of course during
that war they used poison gas. Your Grandfather got a touch of poison gas,
he was in an area where some poison gas was dropped, and he got some
mustard gas in his lungs. It caused him trouble the rest of his life. It didn't
debilitate him, but he would have problems the rest of his life. In any case,
he was there.
The First World War by this time was a very static war. It was all
trenches. The ground had been fought over many times. The Allies would
be pushed back and then the Germans would be pushed back. Many of
them had been there for months and some for years. Lots of fixed position
artillery, great trench systems and dugouts. Lots of artillery, Lots of
artillery! They had fought back and forth over this area. Dad said that the
German gunners were really good and they knew where everything was.
He said he could imagine a German officer coming out and saying, "Hit
number 347". They knew right where it was on the map and Boom!
In the First World War, the machine gun company was probably
the most exposed part of the army. The machine gun for the first time had
come into prominence. It was a weapon of great destruction when
compared against the rifles and lighter arms that had mostly been the
weapon of the individual infantry man up until that time. For my father,
who was basically a very gentle man, to have been a machine gunner
always was difficult for me to understand. He, however, was not involved
in an awful lot of combat. The thing he didn't want was to shoot people.
The Germans would come flooding across the field and you would just
wash them out with machine gun fire. And Pop didn't want to do that.
He and some of his good friends were stationed in this French farm
community; Remember, they all came from the same home areas.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Ammunition and supplies were moved mostly on horses or mules. So
probably, because of his experience and knowledge with horses, having
worked with them most of his life, and his experience in tying knots, he
was assigned to the job of moving that ammunition to the front. He said
that you could get killed behind the line just about as easily as you could
on the line. Your Grandfather was the greatest knot tier you've ever seen.
He could tie anything on anything. He could tie a bumble bee onto a
lemon and it would stay there. When he got older and couldn't do things
like that, it used to frustrate the bejipers out of him. He could even tie
what is known as the diamond hitch that they used to tie packs onto horses
and mules.
So they had put Dad in charge of moving ammunition! Of course,
that was not the greatest job in the world. Dad told me this one story.
They would move the ammunition at night to keep the enemy from
finding out where they were because the Germans had all these spots
pin-pointed, and they would throw the shells right down your neck as soon
as they knew you were there. They were moving all kinds of ammunition
at night, heavy shells, machine gun ammunition and rifle ammunition.
They would load it on these pack mules and form a pack train and Dad
would go around and tie the ammunition on. Of course, the mules are
cantankerous, ornery critters in general, and you would have to watch
them. They would come to these small French villages that had cobble
stone streets. It would be necessary to wrap gunny sack around the mule's
feet so they wouldn't make noise. He didn't know if the Germans could
hear them or not or if they had spies but he knew that if they were located
the Germans would start dropping high explosive shells right on them.
Well, this one night they were moving through this French village when
one of the mules went into a bucking fit and somehow a shovel came loose
from its' pack. The mule took off running - dragging that shovel on the
cobblestones and making "one hell of a racket". Dad said that he did not
plan on spending a lot of time getting those mules to move and they must
have sensed it because when he started running they came right along with
him. He said he thought it may have been the only time an ammunition
pack train ever out-ran an artillery shell.
But a couple of his friends did get killed. One of them by an
artillery attack. An artillery shell came down and killed one of his very best
friends. I know that affected my Father very, very heavily. In this
explosion, he felt something hit his foot and he thought that he had been
hit also. He said that after he had found out that his friend had been
killed and he had quieted down, he looked down and his foot wasn't hurt
but the heel of his army shoe had been gouged out. He knew something
had hit it so he went back to where he had been standing and dug down
about 6-9 inches and found this piece of shrapnel, which, by the way, we
still have. It was still hot. It was so hot that he couldn't hold it. Shrapnel is
- 541 -
part of the shell case. The shell case is hollow and filled with explosives and
when the shell hits and the fuse goes off, it blows the case, which in this
instance was about 1/2 inch of steel, into all these jagged pieces which fly
around and kill people.
Dad kept moving equipment and ammunition around until it was
about time for him to go back to his company. They were getting ready for
a big push so he was to go back into the line. He was on a horse, and I've
never been sure exactly what happened. The horse fell or was shot out from
under him. Dad never knew, because when the horse went down, he was
knocked out and it really bunged up his leg, as the horse fell on it. By the
time, Pop, understood what was going on, they had pulled him out and
taken him back to a first aid station. His leg wasn't broken, but it was
badly sprained and some of the ligaments were pulled. And again, he
carried that with him the rest of his life. Before he had gone overseas he
had decided to take up a trade. He had gone to barber college and he
worked as a barber for a little while. His idea was that when he came
home he would be a barber; in fact I am still using his electric trimmer.
But his leg couldn't take all that standing, so being a barber was out. But
because of that leg he didn't have to go back into the line again and fire
the machine gun. He was glad about that. The death of his good friend
had a great effect upon my father. He had been spared while his friend
had been lost. He commented on it frequently.
Dad returned home to the life he had always known. He was not
married; in fact, Dad did not get married until he was 34. So he worked
on ranches, living the life that he loved. He decided to come to California
and see what was going on in the "Golden State". His friend, Herb Hull,
now lived in California, so he came out and visited him, and got a job.
He was a "Walnut Sheriff'. In those days there were large walnut orchards
in Southern California and during picking season large numbers of
transient workers were brought in from Mexico to harvest the crop and it
was necessary to have some type of law enforcement in the transient camps.
Dad was appointed by the Walnut Growers Association as a Sheriff to
police these areas.
While visiting his good friend Herb he again met Herb's younger
sister, Lavitha, better known as Vay. He had known her when she was a
small girl in the same community where Dad had grown up but had not
paid any attention to her. This time he paid attention. About a year later
after both my Mother and Father had returned to Colorado, they were
married. After marriage, they tried dry land farming in Colorado. That's
farming without irrigation. They just depended on rain. Dad was also
raising some turkeys. They had a drought which caused the dry land
farming to fail and then they had a hail storm that killed most of the
turkeys. Dad decided that he had enough of Colorado and decided to
return to California where at least he had enjoyed the climate. So he and
AND THEIR CHILDREN
my mother and I, who was born about a year after their marriage, came to
California. I was about 3 years old at that time. My Father took a job on
the Hadley Ranch where he was going to spend the next 20 odd years of his
life. The Hadley Ranch is now the Ford plant (since sold) at the
intersection of Washington and Rosemead Blvd. in Pico-Rivera. Hadley
Ranch was the largest citrus ranch in Los Angeles County. It ran from the
San Gabriel River to Rosemead and from Washington, well there was no
Washington at that time, to the Santa Fe Railroad. It was owned by a
corporation basically residents of Whittier and Pasadena.
Family Picture, circa 1932; Willis Hugh, Andrew Frank,

Livithia LaVa (Hull), Dorothy Elizabeth Boyd
This was where I grew up and my father raised his family. My
sister, Dorothy, who was born about 3 years after me, was a native
Californian! They were hard to find in those days. We two were his
children. These were the years of the great depression. While we didn't
- 543 -
have a lot of money, I didn't know that we were poor. We were never
hungry, and we had enough of the things of this world to keep us
comfortable and happy.
Dad worked hard all his life. He never shirked and his family never
wanted. He didn't have an education so he had to work with his back. He
wasn't big but he worked. After he left the Hadley Ranch, he went to work
for the County of Los Angeles in their agricultural department working
with the same citrus that he had learned so much about in his previous
career. He was working with weed abatement, pest control and all those
various programs that were so much apart of L.A. Country prior to the
great influx of population following the Second World War. My father
retired at the age of 70. He could have retired 5 years earlier, but he had
developed strong habits, and one of those habits was that you went to work
every day, so he worked until he was 70. He was in retirement
approximately 10 years.
Of course, he passed away just a few days ago. My father who had
very little education of his own was determined that his children should.
He saw both of his children graduate from college. Both Dorothy and I
graduated from Whittier College. My sister as a teacher and I with a
business degree. My sister is the most like my father of anyone in the
family. He idolized her and considered her a fine example of womanhood
which she is. And he had great love and respect for Dorothy's husband,
Chuck. My wife, Virginia, was a pet of his.
He had eight grandchildren, my six and my sister's two. He was
very, very proud of his grandchildren. The little ones he loved, he would
tell them stories and play with them. The older ones he loved and would
treat them as equals. He loved to visit Dorothy and play with Cathy.
David, my sister's son, and he loved to work together in the shop.' My Dad
delighted at first helping and then later watching as David worked on
projects in wood and metal. They had a closeness that was very important
to them. He would come over to baby-sit; though in reality it was playing,
with Nancy so Virginia could go shopping. They would play "Rabbit
Down the Hole" with his handkerchief, and many other games. She was
excited when she saw Grandpa and wanted her mother to leave so she
could have him all to herself.
Our oldest son is now on a mission for the church, he is in the
Ontario Mission in Canada. Just a few weeks before my father's death we
received a tape from my son. After listening to it, Dad said, "Well, Andy is
now a man. We don't have to worry about him anymore." This grandson
was his name sake.
His wife Vay was so important to him. They were married for 46
years. I don't suppose that, no matter how happy he was to see me during
the last weeks of his illness, he ever failed to ask how Vay was and was she
coming over? He told me. "Look out for her, Will." He took my mother to
AND THEIR CHILDREN
the temple, approximately one year after joining the church. I had the
privilege, after my wife and I accepted the gospel, of being called on a stake
mission after I had been a member for approximately two years. The first
people I decided to teach the gospel to were my mother and father. They
did accept the gospel and I had the rare privilege of baptizing and
confirming my mother and father. This is something that I don't suppose
that many boys have ever had and I am extremely grateful.
Dad was old when he joined the church, but he was a Mormon. He
had smoked all of his life, a pipe was almost a permanent fixture when I
was a young lad, and he had enjoyed a glass of wine or a glass of beer, but
when he joined the church he stopped both entirely. He made an absolute
commitment to pay his tithe and I don't think he ever missed. He didn't
understand a lot of the gospel, but he was like Adam. If he didn't know
why something was to be done, he did it on the premise that the Lord
willed it.
My father was a gentle man. He lived a gentle life and he died a
gentle death. After having had a serious stroke about 7 weeks ago, the seeds
were planted and his condition deteriorated rapidly. He had periods of
slight recovery, but he would fall back. It was obvious to me that we were
watching the conclusion of my father's life. He slowly weakened and finally
he had a second stroke which put him into a coma. Within a few hours he
slipped away in his sleep. If, when I come to the end of my time, I can
have done as well and die as well, I will have considered things as having
worked out very satisfactorily.

Here I am a long way from home and feeling fine but won't be here
long. Your card came today from Camp Firston and sure glad to receive it.
We are having some rain here and looks like more. I sure liked the look of
Ohio and when I get a map I will show you the route we took; they
showed us all the big cities they could. I will be gone across the water when
this letter gets there for they won't send it til we are across. We have 24 hr
off in New York before we go and sure am planning on a good time.
I just happen to be a going a part the way Y.M.C.A. and was
thinking of you and the girls so though I would write and tell you all hello
and how is Miss Loveland. I can't write on this old board so will ring off.
With lots of love to you and the girls for we will need a lot of them (R.N).

My Dear Brother,
Here goes for a free line so you will know I am still going. Received
your letter a few days ago, two from Myrna and a card and a letter from
Mother. Our mail comes by bunches but sure glad to get it that way. I sent
mother my identification number but will send it to you also 2186834.
I can't tell you the kind of gun we have but it sure is a good one
and I sure can make it pop. It is hot here in the daytime and cold at night;
a lot like Colorado. I sure will be glad when this war is over and I get back
home and see you all and get back in that saddle for over here it is walk,
walk, walk. But kid, I will be some man and can do all kinds of work and
I sure will. And don't worry about me for I can take care of myself her and
when it comes to fighting I will be there. We are all wanting to get at them
for we are over here to free the old USA and we are going to do it.
Well I will try to tell you how they farm over here. They do most
of the work by hand and when they work horses it is one at the time and
when they work two they put one ahead of the other one. They plant one
patch of grain, about on acre, then another one so they can cut one patch
before the other one is ready. They cut it by hand.
Well kid, I will have to ring off and get to work and will try to do
better next time. I can't tell you much for they won't let me but if I do
come back I sure will have lots to talk about so goodbye kid and good luck
till next time and let all of them see it and was sure glad to get

My dearest Sister,
As I sat on my bunk all alone
I received your dear letter from home

And pictures, they were so good too

They gave me the homesick blues.
All those girls of the American race
Brought me back to the dear old states.
But I must forget the dear old states
And the big old war I must face.
I came over here to do my part
And I am going to do it with a happy heart.
We are not very far from the line
And someday we'll be on the Rhine.
I have gone over a lot of water and land
To put into the fight my best hand.
Well it is getting a little cold
and I'll have to go down in my hole.
And there is my gun all nice and clean
To wake the Kaiser out of his dream.
And now it is too dark to write
So will ring off for tonight.

My Dear Father,
Received your letter a few days ago so will try and answer it. We are
still in Trier Germany and have a fine place to say; also have a pass so can
go down town any time I am off duty. No Papa, I never read much about
the fighting but I was there all right and you know I can talk better than I
can write. I was in the Saint Mehil drive and also in the Argonne Forest
battle too and that was a bad one. And I had some very close calls but I
can tell you about them better than I can write.
And about Sam Cook; I don't know when or where he was killed.
The last time I saw him was about Sep the 19th after the Saint Mihill
drive. He was feeling fine and looked good too but was killed in the
Argonne battle; the same one Newell Sheids was killed. Well you see we all
could not come back and at times I thought I was one that would have to
stay.
I see by the paper tonight that the 89th would sail in June so will be
home for 4th July dinner. I sure hope so. We are getting some good beef
- 551 -
now but don't know if it is pulp fed or not and it may have come from you
feed pens.
And you said how did I like army life? Well it is not so bad now
but I did not like it about five months ago but a man can stand more than
he thinks he can when he has to - but I knew that before.
We don't have much to do; just keep clean and our equipment too.
The only thing that we want is candy and other good things to eat but they
haven't it over here. They have no sugar and very little flour. But I will
make up for it when I get home but I can do without it for there has been
a lot of things I would like to have but could not. As I said before, a soldier
can stand about anything.
Well Papa, will ring off and write a letter to Mother in a few days
so you will hear from me again. With lots of love to you and all.
Your loving son, Andrew F. Boyd, MG. Com 354 Infantry,

Andrew wrote a letter from Trier, Germany to his sister Myrna on 25
March 1919.
My Dear Sister,
Well it is about time I was writing to you. Am still in Trier
Germany and it rains every day. I don't have to get out in it so I don't care
how much it rains for I work in the barns all day. I and Bill Tomson of
Ft. Collins are feeding 46 mules three times a day and then a little on the
side so you see that makes time fly along and it won't be long before I will
be home if what we have heard is so. I heard we would sail in May.
Would like to be back in time to see Frontier Days and think I will. The
talk is now that we are going back to the U.S. a month before the division
does to do some parading for the 89th the 254 M. G. Com. And part of
the 354 Infantry will parade in Denver, some class hot day - my new
byword.
Well here hope that it is warmer in good old Colorado than it is
here for it sure does get cold here. Will send a couple of cards I got here and
will ring some more home and tell Nell I have a shell for her; some shell
too. Gee it is hard to find something to write about. I go down town about
three times a week.
The Knights of Columbus, the Red Cross and the YMCA they have
shows for us and we can buy candy and cookies but I am full of candy and
cookies and would like the shows better if I had a nice little girl to go with
me, hot dog.
Myrna I will have to ring off for I think I have done very good and
hope I am not far from home when you receive this letter. So good night
and lots of love to you and all.

AND THEIR CHILDREN
Andrew wrote a letter from Trier, Germany to his sister Peggy in Fort
Collins, Colorado on 1 April 1919.
Dear Peg,
Your letter came a few days ago so will answer it. I am going to
Coblenz tomorrow for four days and will try and find Battery A for I
think Sam is going too. Was to Paris to the football game and sure had a
fine time. You said that you saw in the paper that we would be home in
June, well I think we will beat that the way it looks now. And you also
said not to fall in love with those horrid German girls, well how about a
French girl? Say they are some class. And there are some horrid U.S. girls
for I had one, but not now. But I know more now, but I think I want a
good U.S. girl.
Gee Peg, it is hard to think of what to write about so will ring off
and talk to you before long. So good-bye with lots and lots of love to you
and all.

Dearest Andy,
You told me to think your letter over, so here is my answer. I can
only say this "There is no one in all the world like Andy to me" and age
makes no difference. I couldn't if I really loved you and when you and
Chevy come back to me, ask me if I do and see what I say.
I know you can make me happy dear and I'll never stop trying to do
the same and I am glad, proud and happy my man is a working man, as I
think the working class of people are happiest, so you see I am glad to find
a partner that is a real man and one I'll be proud to call my own.
I love my card and I read it over and over. I'll not write much more
this time only, I am so happy and now you can stop your letter the way you
want to.
Lovingly, your own, Vay. R. R. l Box 438 Berthoud, Colorado

A pretty wedding was solemnized 12 o'clock Monday in the Bungal
Lutheran chapel at Ninth avenue and Sherman street when Miss Louise

of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Boyd of 2214 Clermont street. Mr. Timpte is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. William Timpte of 2015 East Twenty-first avenue.
He is a senior member of the Timpte company.
After the wedding, Louise wrote a letter to her sister on 20 July 1925.
My Dear Sister,
You know your nice letter arrived the morning of the 14th and it
was lovely and I thank you heaps. You just forget about any more presents
because the love you sent is all I ask for and what I want.
My huna was over on the western slope and called me that
morning. Then the next day he went fishing and Thursday we had a lovely
mess of rainbow trout. He was away nearly two weeks, got back yesterday
evening and I was surely glad to see him and have him home again. He is
glad you are having a nice vacation.
Back to my birthday. Marie and Mother T. and Willie gave me a
bottle of bath salts; I will save some for you. Them Mamma and Dad a
silver dollar and a very sweet card. The message on it means more to me
than anything money could buy. (Please excuse mistakes, I am thinking too
fast). Then a little picture from Aunt Marie and Aunt Rosa and that
evening Myrna, Peg and Clem got a lovely Baur's cake and some ice-
cream and put candles on it and all was so pretty. They didn't up candles
on the ice-cream. (From the way I am mixing things up, I doubt if you
can understand much. I would start all over but guess I better go on while
I have time to write).
Mother and Myrna are washing and doing some cleaning in the
fruit room and getting ready to put some cherries and raspberries away
that we have put up. I watch the phone and door bell, do dishes and get
lunch. It is rather rainy like, so will have to leave clothes in the rinse until
late or morning. Oh yes, back to my birthday, Peg, Clem, Myrna and I
took two coupes and went out and spent the day with Alice and Ray. It
was the second time I had been out to see them since they moved there in
AND THEIR CHILDREN
February. We do not call on folks much. Tony had been at the shop nights
and a lot of Sundays, but he always tries to save Wednesday evenings so we
can go to church or if we do not get to church Sunday mornings we go in
the evening; I am very grateful that he understands and is ready and
willing to go.
We will always be glad for your company. When you get home
Nellie dear, you and I are going to have a time and room for our work
and nothing to interfere with it. I know my Dear, where my help is and I
am holding fast and am so thankful to God and to all. Maybe you and I
can go up to Estes Park and we can have lots of time to study. Aunt Eva
and Uncle Harry are so nice and the morning I left, Uncle Harry told me
that I could come up and stay as long as I wanted. Then he sent word with
others who have been there since, that he wants me to come and stay as
long as I wanted to. I think that is very nice and I do want to go. Aunt
Eva is so sweet and peaceful, but of course it is some few miles from my
Huna, that is why I hesitate. I do want to go up to Coxie's too and must
go or they will feel hurt. They have been after me all summer. Did you
know that Coxie is building at Loveland Heights and the Boyd's are to us
it as if were their very own. Pretty nice?
Peg and Clem left last Thursday and are going to take a trip
through Yellowstone Park. We surely miss Peggy, but am thankful that she
can be with us part of the time and we are working hard to get them to
Denver to live. She will be hiking down here when it is time for you to
arrive home, I bet you. Aunt Mag is in Loveland now but think we will
get her home soon. She is lonesome to see all. Myrna is in with her
downstairs so you can have the room upstairs with Tony and I. We are all
so glad you are having some rest and the trip up there and back will surely
be wonderful. You must see Glenna and George Green in New York. They
are such lovely people and will be able to show you around a bit I know.
Give them my love when you see them. Glenna and her sisters in
California each wrote Mama such lovely letters about granny and all.
Uncle Andy and Aunt Belle have been away for some time just got back
the other evening but I haven't seen them.
Well here I am just finished the lunch dishes and now will get your
letter out, then take a rest. I want to bake a cake later and have breaded
chops and macaroni and cheese and tomatoes for dinner and will have to
go to the store for those, so must get busy. Everyone is fine and send you lots
of love. Mother will send addresses you wanted soon.
Love from, Louise and Tony
Tony’s obituary was published in Denver:
T. C. Timpte Found Dead, Heart Attack Blamed
- 557 -
Tony Carl Timpte, 67, former president of a Denver

manufacturing firm, was found dead in his parked automobile Saturday
afternoon, apparently from a heart attack.
Timpte, of 2151 S. Cook St., resigned last fall as president of
Timpte Bros., Inc., 2300 E. 40th Ave., manufacturer of truck and bus
bodies.
A passerby noticed Timpte slumped over the wheel of his car parked
behind The Burners, a restaurant at 2700 S. Colorado Blvd. The engine
was running. Police said he apparently had been shopping in the
University Hills Shopping Center.
There will be an autopsy. The coroner's office said Timpte
apparently died of natural causes.
Timpe was born in Denver on Christmas Day in 1893 - about 10
years after his father and uncle opened a little shop on Market St. to make
and repair horse-drawn buggies.
Today, the firm's main plant at 5990 N. Washington St., Adams
County, employs about 300 workers. Other Timpte plants are in
Albuquerque, N. M., and Phoenix, Ariz.
Timpte's principal products are truck trailers and contractor's
equipment. The firm also manufactures equipment for the oil,
aeronautical and utilities industries.
Timpte joined the firm in 1906 after graduating from South High
School.
Survivors include his wife, the former Louise Boyd; a daughter,
Mrs. Joann Stoddard, Craig, Colo.; a brother, William, Adams County; a
sister, Miss Marie Timpte, Denver, and a grandson and granddaughter.
Another Denver newspaper wrote:
Tony Timpte, City Business Leader, Dies
Tony C. Timpte, 67, of 2151 S. Cook st., prominent Denver
business leader and past president of Timpte Brothers Inc., was found dead
Saturday in his car parked in the University Hills Shopping Center.
The Denver Coroners’ office said Mr. Timpte apparently suffered a
heart attack.
The body was discovered about noon when Robert D. McFarland
of 2953 E. Amherst ave. saw Mr. Tempte slumped over the steering wheel
of his car. McFarland said he investigated, found Mr. Timpte unconscious
and summoned help.
Mr. Timpte was dead when police and an ambulance arrived.
Born Dec. 25, 1893, in Denver, Mr. Timpte was educated in
Denver public schools.
Mr. Timpte was the son of the late William Timpte, who with his
brother, August, founded the Timpte Brothers firm in 1884, near the old
Elephant Corral in downtown Denver. The firm builds freight road
trailers, vans, truck and bus bodies and oil field equipment.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Mr. Timpte operated the firm for many years and through three
expansion programs, before it merged with Holand Corp. of Cleveland in
October 1960. The firm's new plant is located at 5900 N. Washington st.
Branch offices are located in Phoenix, Ariz., and Albuquerque, N. M.
Mr. Timpte was married to Miss Louise Boyd in Denver May 31,
1922.
Surviving in addition to his wife, are a daughter, Mrs. Charles
Stoddard of Craig; a brother, William, and a sister, Miss Marie Timpte,
both of Denver; and two grandchildren.

Profoundly imbued with the spirit of patriotism, Miss Peggy Boyd

and Miss Berda Bindord, both pretty students at the Colorado Agricultural
college, have voluntarily filed applications to become aviators with the
U.S. military forces, their cherished ambition being to pilot aeroplanes
over Hun areas and drop bombs.
Arm in arm, the girl chums yesterday entered the secretary of state's
office in the state capital building and greeted D. B. Humphrey, telling
him of their desire to enlist. He encouraged their patriotic wish by
informing them that, so far as he knew, there was nothing in the rules that
barred their enlistment on account of their sex, and then received their
statements as to their age and general qualifications, all of which was
made a part of the record. Both lassies are 21 years of age. ... Their parents
knew nothing of the girls’ enlistment applications until later.
She graduated from Colorado Agricultural College and taught school
in St. Louis, Missouri from August 1921 to June 1922 for $1500 ($500 for
room and board and $1000 cash salary).
Zeta appears with her parents on the census recorded 5 April 1930 for

I will try to answer Harry's letter that he received from you some time ago. Harry
has been awful busy in the shop. I suppose you know by this time that he is married. We
were married the first of February.
I don't suppose any of your folks from out here will get to go to the World's Fair. We
see your uncle Harry's folks quite often. They are all well at present. Ethel stayed with us a
week since we was married. We got a letter from Eddie last week. He is down to Durango.
He's doing quite well this winter. I suppose you will go to the World Fair. If you do, you
had better come out and spend a few months with us. I would like to have you come ever
so much. We are having lovely weather out her now. The grass begins to look quite green.
Well I must close, hoping this will find you well and happy. Write soon as I always
like to receive letters and I know Harry always likes to hear from you.
I remain your sister, Laura Boyd
Laura wrote a letter from Loveland to her
sister-in-law, Evelyn Boyd in Marion, Ohio on 8
August.
Dear Sister,
After so long a time, I will try to answer your
letter. I was up to Aunt Marian's Saturday and read some
of Eugene's letters. I was very sorry to hear of Fred and
Lillian's sickness and Batten's fire.
Well I have not done scarcely anything all summer.
We live near Mrs. Bert Davis and she takes me out riding
a great many times, but she has been sick for some time
and I tell you, I miss her. She is at Dr. Southerland's
now, they took her today. I have been to a good many
parties this summer. I was to a progressive pageant party
given by Mrs. Jenning's and several other ladies, and to
an old fashioned lawn party given by Mrs. Crosby, Emma
Harry's left eye drooped so Harter and others. Mrs. Galligan Davis and I went to a
often he was photographed dinner party about ten miles in the country. The
facing left Galligan's, Batt's, Davis', Edmand's, and Boyd's all took
their children and went to Denver one Sunday. There
were twenty six in the crowd. We took our dinner with us and spent the day at the
gardens. Mamma and Cecil were with us a few days and Lucinda and three children were
here two weeks and Edward was here four or five days. May spent one day with us and
Willis. I do not feel that we got very well aquatinted with her, although she seems very
nice.
Mrs. Jennings has built on to her house; it is quite large and very nice now. She said
for me to tell you to write to her. Gertie's husband has taken the whisky cure and is doing
very nicely now. The watermelons are coming in now. I guess I will have to begin to save
seed. I heard Harry telling Ed that he must write to Eva and I thought that some more of
us had better do likewise but you know I am doing well if I write once a year. Lizzie has
gone to Nebraska after Louise.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
Well I will say good bye. Your sister, Laura.

Harry wrote a letter from Estes Park, Larimer County to his sister, Evelyn Boyd on 8
September 1907.
Dear Sister,
Your welcome received in due time but have been so busy, have not had time to
write. But the season is about over now I think. I have done very well this summer have
had to work pretty hard and was very near sick in August but am feeling much better now.
Will get out more and will gain what I lost. The weather has been very nice here this
summer and there was more tourists here this season than ever. William Stanley, the auto
man, is going to build $150,000 hotel here his winter and next summer so you see the
park is growing.
Well as for news, I do not know any. Have not heard from Loveland but once and
Willis was up once and stayed 2 days and did not get to see him long. Have not heard from
Edward since the letter I sent you. Enclosed find picture of Calimhires(?) I gathered and
sent to Loveland and the trout Louise and papa caught is 23 inches long and weighs 5 lbs.
Pretty good fish for the Thompson.
I will close for this time with love to all and kin, for my dear sister, your loving

Fred. W. Peters, who is engaged in a general insurance business at Marion, and
who for a number of years was very prominently identified with the Ohio National Guard
(Company G. 14th Regiment), is one of the city's substantial citizens. Mr. Peters was born
at Marion, January 5, 1871, and is a son of the late Harvey Peters and a grandson of
Nathan Peters, the first mayor of the village of Marion, whose sketch appears elsewhere in
this work.
Harvey Peters was born in Marion, Ohio, March 4, 1828, about two years after
his parents, Nathan and Alice (Wilson) Peters, located here. For over a quarter of a
century he was engaged in the drug business at Marion, first entering it in 1854 and
continuing, with one small interruption, until his retirement in 1881. He was married in
Baltimore, Maryland, December 29, 1864, to Martha A. Boyd, daughter of Hiram and
Matilda (Harbaugh) Boyd. Three children were born to this union, namely: Fannie,
Walter B. and Fred W. Mr. Peters served as a member of the City Council a number of
terms and also, for many years, as a trustee of Marion township. His death occurred
January 1, 1883.
Fred. W. Peters was reared at Marion and attended both public and private
schools. In youth he learned the carpenter's trade, being of a mechanical turn of mind, and
worked at his trade for six years, leaving it to enter the real estate business. Realizing how
valuable a knowledge of the law would be in this line, he entered upon its study, under the
direction of John A. Wolford, completing the course during the five years in which he
continued in the real estate business. In 1896 he took up fire and casualty insurance and is
now the representative of the largest and leading companies. He is one of the directors of
The Miller Manufacturing Company, at Marion.
Mr. Peters' connection with the Ohio National Guard dates back to July 13, 1892,
when he enlisted in Company G. 14th Regiment Infantry, at Prospect, Ohio. He was
appointed corporal, August 3, 1892, when the headquarters of the company were
transferred to Marion. On November 9th of the same year he was appointed sergeant and
detailed as 1st sergeant at the same time, being relieved from such detail, at his own
request, on March 16, 1894. He served in Tuscarawas County from June 6 to June 19,
1894, during the coal strike, and was discharged August 2, 1895, in order to accept a
commission as 2nd lieutenant; was discharged from this office July 14, 1896, in order to
accept a commission as 1st lieutenant and on February 25, 1898, was discharged from this
office in order to accept the commission of captain.
On April 25, 1898, Captain Peters reported with his company at Camp Bushnell,
where he joined his regiment for muster-in to the United States Army. Captain Peters on
May 9, 1898, was mustered into the service as captain and was assigned to Company G.
Fourth Regiment, for duty in the Spanish-American War. He was ordered to
Chickamauga Park, Georgia, with his regiment, remaining in camp there until July
22nd, going then to Newport News. From this point he embarked with his company and
regiment, on July 26th, for Puerto Rico, landing at Arroya on August 3rd. He was with

his regiment and company in the attack and capture of Guayama on August 5th and was
ready to enter into an engagement at Cayey, on August 13th, when hostilities were stopped.
He was continually on duty with his company and took part with it in all the campaign,
and in garrison duty alter hostilities had stopped. On October 25th, in commend of his
company, he embarked with his regiment on the transport "Chester," for New York, which
port was reached some six days later. The company then attended the reception given the
regiment by the President William McKinley, at Washington, and then returned to
Columbus, Ohio, where a 60 days furlough was accorded it and Captain Peters was placed
on waiting orders. On December 26, 1898, he reported at Columbus for duty and was
mustered out on January 20, 1899, but still remained a member of the Ohio National
Guard, having been given a leave of absence during the war. He was mustered out with
his company, on February 8, 1899. During his whole period of service, Captain Peters was
noted for the qualities which adorn a true soldier and popular officer.
In Mr. Peters Marion has always found a public-spirited and progressive citizen,
ready to do his part in building up the best interests of his native place. He was appointed
a member of the Board of Public Safety, from which he retired February 6, 1906, after
having served two years and eight months. Fraternally, lie is prominent in a number of
organizations. He belongs to all the Masonic bodies at Marion--blue lodge, chapter,
council and commandery; is a member of Canby Lodge, No. 51, Knights of Pythias, a
member of Uniform Rank, Company No. 15, now serving his second term as adjutant of
the Ninth Regiment, and is imperial nawab of Marion Lodge, No. 104, D. O. K. K. He
is an Elk and is also a member and one of the stockholders of the Marion Commercial
Club Company.

Frederick wrote a letter from Laguas, Porto Rico to his cousin Eveline G. Boyd in
Marion, Ohio on 12 October 1898.
Dear Cousin,
We arrived at Laguas at 2:00 P.M. on the 9th and are now quartered in a Spanish
barracks. this is quite an American town as when we marched in the Stars and Stripes
were flying from every house and building in the town.
We had a march of 36 miles from Guayama to this place; had to cross over two
ranges of mountains. We made 18 miles a day. Our first day march was made in a heavy
storm, nine miles of it was up hill and the last mine miles was down hill and so dark that
we could not see our hands before us and just pouring down rain. It was a very dangerous
road, several of the boys walked off of some of the culverts but they were not over five feet
deep. Landslides and wash outs we had to contend with. Some of the culverts are several
hundred feet deep. None of the boys were hurt except a good scare.
We stayed at Coyey that night and all of the next day and night in the Spanish
barracks. We left early next morning for Laguas which was 18 miles. We were all sore and

stiff but soon got in good shape and stood the march well. I had a good hot bath after we
got here. It was a lovely trip; the finest scenery I have ever seen.
Our mail arrived yesterday, got your letter of Sept. 27. Mail is in again today. We
expect to leave here not later than Sunday for San Juan. The flag is to be raised there on
the 18th so we expect to be there by that time. It is 24 miles from here, all level country, so
it will not be a hard march. We are all in the best of health now. We have been informed
that we would sail for the States this month. I would like to spend at least a month at San
Juan. Got a letter from Harry dated Sept. 21.
I must stop now. Am well, give my love to all, Fred

Uncle Carey was my father's uncle so when Grandpa Boyd died, Dad visited Uncle
Carey fairly frequently, and being quite elderly and blind, he certainly could use any
assistance that Dad could lend. We most often visited him in the evenings at his home at
700 Park Avenue in Prospect, Ohio. I only remember visiting in the summer, but we
probably visited year round.

Uncle Carey was a big man as I recall, probably 6' and 200 lb. He is undoubtedly
the ancestor of mine with the greatest reputation in the family. Such stories as when he
went out to get a loaf of bread and never came back, his living around Indians out in
Montana, and his walking down the middle of route 47 when he was blind are typical of
the stories that I've heard about him.
The most impressive stories that Uncle Carey told took place while he lived in
Montana. The story goes that he told his first wife that he was going out for a loaf of
bread, and left for Montana. He later contacted her to let her know that he wouldn't be
coming back.
He apparently went to Montana in about 1908 as an employee of The Marion
Power Steam Shovel Dredge Company, who had sold several dredges to the Conrey Placer
Mining Company. Conrey was started in 1899 to placer mine by dredge the Alder Gulch
in the Ruby River valley of Montana. I've seen different references, but they had four or
five gold dredges, some of which were the largest ever made. Cary was sent there to "lay the
keels" as his daughter Wayve describes it. I imagine that he also worked constructing the
entire barge on which the dredging machinery sat. One reference I saw said they were as
large as ocean freighters. The same reference (A Roadside History of Montana) said that
the barges were abandoned in the water and the equipment sold.
Of course at that time, Montana was still a pretty wild place. This area had become
a gold rush town in 1863 when gold was found there in the Ruby River. This particular
are which, was noted as being notorious for outlaws and a band of vigilantes went to work
to keep things safe, but the impression I got was that the vigilantes could be trouble as well.
The vigilantes were in operation as late as the 1820s.
Cary owned a pocket protection pistol, a little Ivers Johnson .32 caliber five shot
revolver that was made in the late 1800s. It has a bobbed hammer so that it can be easily
carried in the pocket. It’s not known if he owned this in Montana or how he used it, but it
certainly could have been used there for personal protection.
Also, there were still Indians around, and Uncle Carey told a story about some
white men molesting an Indian maiden, and the Indians caught them and skinned them
alive. They were found dead the next day hanging in a tree outside of town.
He too was nearly killed several times, though not by Indians. He told of one
occasion when he was working on a gold dredging machine in Montana that resulted in
him being unconscious for several days. He had shinnied out the boom of the dredge in
order to drill a hole in the side of the boom. He was wearing leather mittens and using a
power drill of some sort. The mittens became entangled in a set screw that secured the drill
bit, and wrapped his hand up around the drill. This broke his hand and caused him to
fall off the boom to the ground. He was unconscious for several days, and was fully expected
to die, but did eventually recover.
In another incident, he was doing some carpentry work inside a dredging machine
and somehow backed into some open electrical switches. He said, that again, he was
knocked unconscious and assumed to be terminally stricken. The electrical shock that he
received was said to have "blacked out the valley." But again, he did eventually recover.
He returned to Marion in 1938. I know that in 1945 he was working for the
Huber Company, apparently in the belt department.
AND THEIR CHILDREN
In 1945, he was hit by a car while on one of his
walks along Route 23 in Marion, and Dad says that he
thinks that was the only time Uncle Carey was ever in the
hospital, although he was at death's door more than once.
He claimed to owe his good health to preventive
medicine. He said whenever he started feeling bad, he
would take Sloane's horse liniment - two tablespoons -
despite the label stating "not to be taken internally." He
said you could feel it tingle in your toes and work its way up
your body. Dad witnessed him taking it.
When he reached his old age, he was accustomed to
being active and even when he was blind he didn't stop at Charles Cary Boyd
least trying to live like the bull of a man that he was. Dad tells of how Uncle Carey, even
though he was blind, would try to help shovel snow and he tried to use his saw to cut a
piece of wood out in his garage behind his house.
He did not care for his first daughter's husband, Lester Warwick, or for his third
wife's brother, Henry Hygh. He stated on many occasion that they should be fed a steady
diet of ground glass.
He apparently liked to walk because he would go for walks by himself along State
Route 47 in Prospect and once the Police stopped him because he was walking down the
middle of the road. When they asked him why he was walking in the middle of the road,
he said so that the drivers of the cars would be sure and see him.
Dad also witnessed him try to shoot himself. One summer evening when Uncle
Carey was living in the Haven Rest nursing home, he said that he was real home sick and
really wanted to go back home. Dad consented to taking him back to Prospect to visit his
house one evening. Dad noticed Uncle Carey trying to get away from him in the house and
suspected that something was going on that Uncle Carey didn't want Dad to know about.
Dad let him believe that he did not see him and watched as Uncle Carey sneaked out to
the back porch. He then saw Uncle Carey pull a gun out of his pocket and then Dad knew
what he was up to. Dad took the gun away from Uncle Carey and found that it was not
loaded. Unbeknownst to Dad or Uncle Carey, the neighbors had discovered it in Carey's
dresser and had previously unloaded it.
Anyone can understand the frustration life presented that Uncle Carey at that time
of his life. He was, at that time, a fairly healthy man but he was handicapped by blindness
and unable to take care of himself, so he had to stay in a rest home because Aunt Nora was
in the hospital. When he compared what he was to what he had been, he must have felt
worthless.
I have two personal remembrances of Uncle Carey. One summer I worked on the
roof of his house. I scraped the old tar coating off the tin roof one day and painted a new
coating on the next day. I distinctly remember being tired and hot, and Aunt Nora's tasty
cherry pie. Dad says Aunt Nora always had a pie baked and insisted on us having some.
The second remembrance has brought many a laugh at my telling of it. Uncle Carey
was going out to Montana to stay with his Daughter. Dad had to take him from the rest
home to the Columbus airport. I was "volunteered" to go along and help. All the way to
- 645 -
Columbus Uncle Carey kept saying, "If a feller just had a little something to nibble on. If a
feller just had a fig bar to nibble on." He was hungry but of course we had not anticipated
this and did not have any fig bars with us.
When we finally got to the airport, we were running a little bit late and Dad gave
me some money and told me to get something for Uncle Carey to eat while he checked
Uncle Carey in at the ticket counter. I found a vending machine and bought some
peppermint patties and some other candy bars. So, as we went wheeling Uncle Carey down
the concourse, nearly on a dead run because by this time, the airline was holding the plane
for us, I was running backwards unwrapping candy bars and feeding them to Uncle
Carey. We made quite a site I am sure.
When we got back out to the car in the parking lot, Dad said, "I feel like I've been
shot at and missed and shit at and hit!" That was really shocking to me at the age of about
13, and made a strong impression about how nerve racking this experience had been for all
of us.

Wednesday morning Mr. Johnson took a man to the house to show him the
property, which is on the Waynesburg and Ruff's Creek road, near the church. He was
surprised to find the door partially open and upon entering they saw the body of Mr. Jewell
lying upon the floor near the door.
A 32-calibre revolver lay upon the floor near his side from which one cartridge had
been discharged. It is believed he had placed the muzzle of the weapon in his mouth when
he fired it, as the ball had come out of the upper part of his skull on the right side.
Coroner A. T. Adamson was summoned and held an inquest. A jury composed of J.
D. Iams, Benjamin Shirk, Rev. L. H. Conn, Rev. W. C. Leinbach, P. M. Douglass and
H. U. Horne was impaneled.
After examining into the circumstances they rendered a verdict that deceased came
to his death from a pistol-shot wound inflicted by his own hands.
Mr. Jewell was about 70 years of age and was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge
at Washington, Pa. His remains were bought to the undertaking establishment of Clerter,
this place.

James's full name is a bit of a guess. There is a Stockton Lang listed as a single parent on the 1880
census for Greene County, Pennsylvania who has a son Francis Austin who is age 3 (born about 1877).
This would appear to be the same Austin Francis Lang shown as age 23 in the family of J. S. Lang and
Sarah Jane (Meek) Lang in the 1900 census for Washington County, Pennsylvania. In the 1900 census
Sarah is recorded as having 2 children, both alive, and having been married 19 years (about 1881). Two
AND THEIR CHILDREN
FUNK, about 1881 in Pennsylvania. James was born in November 1850 in Pennsylvania
and died in May 1904 probably in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
Sarah appears with her parents on three U.S. census records for Jackson Township,
Greene County. The first on 20 August 1860:756 Sarah J. Meeks, age 7, born Pennsylvania.
The second on 20 June 1870:757 Sarah J. Meek, age 17, born Pennsylvania, in school. The
third on 16 June 1880:758 Sarah Meeks, daughter, age 27, born Pennsylvania, single.
Sarah appears with her husband and sons on the U.S. census recorded 12 June 1900
for Washington, Washington County, Pennsylvania: 759 J. S. Lang, age 49, born
Pennsylvania - November 1850, mail carrier, parents born Pennsylvania. S. J. Lang, wife,
age 47, born Pennsylvania - March 1853, married 19 years, 2 children - 2 alive, parent born
Pennsylvania. Auston Lang, son, age 23, born Pennsylvania - March 1877, clerk. Theo N.
Lang, daughter, age 16, born Pennsylvania - June 1883, in school.
Sarah appears on the U.S. census recorded 18 April 1910 for Washington,
Washington County:760 Sarah J. Lang, age 57, born Pennsylvania, widow, 1 child - 1 alive,
parents born Pennsylvania. Theo N. Lang, daughter, age 26, born Pennsylvania, single,
stenographer - bank, parents born Pennsylvania. Mary M. Meek, sister, age 59, born
Pennsylvania, single, parents born Pennsylvania.
Sarah appears with her daughter Theo Elliot's family on the U.S. census recorded 15
January 1920 for Washington, Washington County:761 Sarah J. Lang, mother [in-law], age
66, born Pennsylvania, widow, parents born Pennsylvania.
children are listed in the family: Austin and Theo. Austin appears to have been born before Sarah's
marriage. In the 1910 Census for Washington County, Sarah is listed as a widow living with her
daughter Theo. She is recorded as having only one child, clearly Theo. Note that Austin was alive in
1910. The obituary published in Greene County on May 26, 1904 for a James S. Lang was probably for
Sarah's husband J. S. Lang. It fits his initials and the chronology that her husband died between 1900 to
1910. Therefore I believe the name of Sarah's husband was James Stockton Lang and that his son Austin
Francis was by an earlier wife that some researchers identify as Elizabeth. Elizabeth seems to have died
before the 1880 census and J. S. married Sarah soon after.

George Hughes, a most highly respected citizen, died at his home, near Jefferson,

animal and fatally injured. He was carried into his home unconscious and a physician

consciousness, remaining in that condition until his death. An examination showed that he
had suffered a fracture of the skull and an injury of the spine, while he had also received

A business history includes this short biography of Archibald.1255
About 1898 Archibald S. White conceived the idea of forming a selling association
which should take the salt from the various New York wells and dispose of it to the best
advantage for all. Accordingly, the National Salt Company of West Virginia was formed.
The underlying motive of the Association was undoubtedly that of controlling the selling
price of salt by controlling the production of the New York wells. The ostensible motive
upon which the Association sought to appeal to the jobbing and packing trades was to
bring about car-lot loading and the more economical handling of salt. Although the
Association had a nominal existence for a number of years it was not a success. The
deep-seated jealousies of the manufacturers, sometimes based on nothing more substantial
than religious differences, created constant friction. The prices of salt and the conditions of
its sale remained, on the whole, fully as competitive under the Association as before.
White had been an employee for one Moulton, a salt dealer. He became the Boston
representative of the Bradley Salt Company and subsequently, with others, formed the
Cayuga Lake Salt Company. He was the central figure in the consolidation movement
down to the formation of the International Salt Company in the autumn of 1901.

Accident Caused the Death of Mrs. Archie White in New York - She Slipped on Bathroom
Floor.
Friday's Advocate published a dispatch from New York announcing the death of
Mrs. Archie S. White, wife of the President of the National Salt Company, but no
particulars were given. Mr. and Mrs. White expected to be in Newark last week as the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Miller but Mr. White was detained in Chicago.
An Associated Press dispatch from New York says, "Mrs. Archibald S. White, wife
of the president of the National Salt Co. was found dead in the bathroom of her residence
in West Eighty-sixth St. Mrs. White lost her life as the result of a most unusual accident. a
slip on the floor of the bathroom caused her to fall backward, her head striking the edge of
the marble basing and fracturing her skull. Mrs. White's maid went to her room some time
after the accident. Not finding her mistress, the maid went to the bathroom, where Mrs.
White lay on the floor dead."
Mr. White is well known in Newark. A few years ago he was a clerk in O. G.
King's shoe store, but now is head of at the National Salt Company. He has one child

Mr. White is well known in Newark and is the nephew of Dr. W. W. Harrington,
of Elmwood avenue.
Olive was an actress on Broadway.1257
She appeared in two Broadway productions: The Revival of "Robin Hood" that ran 8
September to 4 October 1902, and the original production of "Red Feather" which was a
romantic musical opera where she played Anita, that production ran 68 shows, 9 November
1903 to April 1904.
Archibald's purchase of an estate in New York was reported by the Newark Advocate
Archie S. White Buys "Woodlea." Former Newark man comes into possession of the
Shepard Estate. Consideration said to be from one to one and a half million dollars.
A dispatch from new York announces the purchase of the late Elliot F. Shepard's
country place, "Woodlea," on the Hudson, by Mr. Archibald S. White, for a consideration
said to be between one and one and one-half million dollars. The total cost of the estate is
said to have been originally from four to six million dollars.
Mr. White, who is now about 39 years old, was a cash boy in King's shoe store 25
years ago. One day a traveling man took a fancy to young White when he visited Newark,
and asked the lad to go east with him. The proposition was accepted and from that time on
young White began to rise. He organized the salt trust, and hereby made his first big stake.
Today he is president of the Atlantic Security company and has extensive mining interests
in Southern Ohio, He is the man who promoted the Cincinnati gas deal and is still
interested in the salt industry and many other enterprises. the fact that he is several times a
millionaire is evidenced by his purchase of "Woodlea."
Mr. White was the boyhood chum of Attorney Charles W. Miller of the city, and
the friendship established in youth continues. Mr. White occasionally visits Newark, and
often Mr. Miller is his guest in New York. Mr. Miller is Mr. White's representative in a
number of Ohio business matters.
New York, Sept. 12 - Nothing remains but the signing of the necessary deeds and
other papers to transfer Woodlea, country place of the late Elliot F. Shepard, in
Scarborough-on-the-Hudson, to Archibald S. White, a wealthy business man. The
consideration, it is said, is between $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.
Woodlea is one of the most elaborate country places in America. It was originally
made up of farms, and comprises in all about 250 acres. Its total cost has been variously
estimated at from four to six millions of dollars, and it has often been said that as a matter
of fact, not even the owner knew how much money had been expended on it.
Archibald S. White is well known in the financial district. He was the organizer of
the National Salt company, retiring before that concern reached an untimely end, and
more recently was at the head of a syndicate which purchased the Cincinnati Gas and
Electric company and similar companies in other cities.
Mrs. White was Miss Olive Celeste Moore, daughter of Judge Moore of
Minneapolis. Miss Moore, after an education abroad, went on the stage and was a
1257

AND THEIR CHILDREN
member of the Bos'onians and afterward of the Red Feather company. Miss Moore met
Mr. White then, and their marriage in the home of the bride’s parents was one of the
society events of the year in Minneapolis.
Since their marriage Mr. and Mrs. White have resided part of the time in Paris
and the other part here, where they have apartments in the Lorraine.
Olive was mentioned in the Newark Advisor on 31 January 1910.
Mrs. Archibald S. White to go back on Stage.
New York, Jan. 31 - Unable to resist a longing to return to the stage. Mrs.
Archibald S. White, wife of a well known New York and Cincinnati millionaire, formerly
of Newark, O. - who is largely interested in Cincinnati's gas and electrical works, and who
before her marriage in 1905, was Miss Olive Celeste Moore, it was learned today, is
considering an offer to make her debut in grand opera, and probably will make her debut
in Boston with the next few weeks.
Friends of Mrs. White are authority for the statement that she has received an offer
from Henry Russell, of the Boston Opera company, which, it is said, she will in all
probability accept.
"It is true," Mrs. White said, "that Mr. Russell has been good enough to ask me to
join the Boston Opera company, and I now have the matter under consideration. I had
planned to go to Paris and resume my study for grand opera with Dr. Frank Dossert at the
New American conservatory, but I am undecided as to what I will do."
Mrs. White, before her marriage, was well known as a singer and actress.
Olive was mentioned in the Newark Advisor on 9 March 1910.
Mrs. Archibald White to study singing abroad, though husband objects.
Mrs. Archibald S. White, wife of the former Newark man who promoted the salt
trust and the Cleveland gas merger, has sailed for Paris to study grand opera. Rumor has it
that there is a coldness between Mrs. White and her husband because of her decision. This
Mrs. White denies, though Mr. White will remain in American while his wife will study
for several years abroad. Mrs. White was formerly on the stage. The picture of Mrs. White

Archibald S. White. Accompanies wife whom he is suing for divorce, to pier from
which she sailed for Paris.
New York, May 4. - With her husband in attendance at the pier, Mrs. Olive
Celeste Moore White, who is being sued by Archibald S. White, formerly of Newark, but
now residing at Cincinnati, for divorce, sailed for Europe today on the Mauretania. They
came to New York on the same train and had apartments here in the same hotel.
"Why not?" asked Mrs. White. "This is not a disagreement that would keep us from
being the best of friends. Our whole trouble is that I will not live in Cincinnati. Life is not
worth living for me there. Everything in life for him, except me, is there. I shall go to Paris
and live quietly there, and perhaps go to the coronation. But I shall never go on the stage
again. Such a report is nonsense."
Cincinnati, May 4 - Desertion and neglect are charged by Archibald S. White in
the suit for divorce which he filed here this week against his wife. Mrs. White came here
the day of the action was to begun, accepted the service of the papers and then left at once,
remaining in the city only a few hours and denying herself to interviewers and callers. The
couple were married in 1895, while Mrs. White was still noted as a light opera singer.
Archibald was mentioned in the Newark Advisor on 25 March 1913.
Archibald S. White.
The name of Archibald S. White has been prominently mentioned in connection
with an Ambassadorship in Europe and some of Mr. White's friends are strongly urging his
appointment to a post in the diplomatic service.
Newark would unanimously approve the appointment of Mr. White. In fact, all
Newark would regard Mr. White's selection as a distinct compliment to the city.
While Mr. White, who is now President of the Cincinnati Union Depot and
Terminal Company has in recent years lived in New York and in Cincinnati, everybody
here remembers him as a Newark product and the older people of the city know him as
"Archie" White who a few years ago was connected with the King shoe store in this city.
When a youngster Mr. White became a "cash boy" in the King store. Alert,
energetic, bright and always on the job, young White made progress and one day a
traveling man, who had been keeping his eye on the boy, invited him to go to New York.
There young White, manifesting the same talent that he had displayed here, climbed
rapidly and in a few years became a captain of finance. He had neither money nor
influential friends but succeeded through his own talents and effort. Newark knows of his
splendid success and now wishes that the honor of a place in the diplomatic service may
come to him.
Mr. White possesses mental and physical strength and has the attributes of a
diplomat. His appointment will reflect credit to the administration and honor to his home
city, Newark, Ohio.

Archibald S. White Dead. Cincinnati Business Man was stricken in California.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 30 - Archibald S. White, 57 years old, organizer and first
President of the Columbia Gas and Electric Company, who was one of Cincinnati's
leading financiers more than fifteen years ago, died suddenly Sunday at Santa Rosa, Cal.
Mr. White was active in efforts to promote a great plan for a new union station at
Cincinnati, but because of the vast cost the proposal never was carried out. In 1885 he
became identified with the salt industry and in 1891 began the manufacture of salt at
Ludlowville, N.Y. In 1899 he sold his interest in the company and retired, devoting his
time to traveling in Europe and to studying art and music in Europe. On his return to
New York he formed the banking house of White and Co.
Archibald's death notice was published in the New York Times on 30 September

Archibald S. White, for whom Playground has been named.
Here is a picture of Archibald S. White, the man who has shown marked friendship
for Newark, his boyhood home, by giving splendid cash contributions to the Newark
playground fund and for the Newark hospital.
When the hospital campaign was in progress a short time ago, Mr. White promptly
telegraphed a thousand dollar subscription, and when he learned of the Newark boys and
girls efforts to equip their new playground, corner of Eleventh and Church streets, Mr.
White sent another thousand dollar check through is old time Newark friend Charles W.
Miller. In compliment to Mr. White and as a recognition for his loyalty to his old home
town the Board of Education unanimously voted to name the new athletic field - Newark'
first public playground after Mr. White and so it will now be known as White Field. ...

After her divorce from Archie White, she married three other times. The first to
MALCOM WAITE, then to the English inventor HARRY GRINDELL MATTHEWS in about
May 1925. Finally to the actor, WILLIAM FARNUM. William was born 4 July 1876 in
Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts and died 5 June 1953 in Hollywood, Los Angeles
County, California.
William's biography reads:
William Farnum was born the son of G.D. Farnum and Adela Le Gros, actors who
trained their three sons, William, Dustin, and Marshall, in their profession. William
made his stage debut at the age of 10 in Richmond, Virginia, in a production of Julius
Caesar starring Edwin Booth. His first New York appearance was in 1896. His first
major stage success was in the title role of Ben Hur in which he toured for five years.
From 1915 to 1925, he devoted himself exclusively to the motion pictures and
became one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood receiving from William Fox $10,000
weekly. In 1924, he was seriously injured while filming The Man Who Fights Alone
(1924). After that, he was reduced to playing minor roles until the end of the silent era.
He returned to the stage in 1925 playing Sir Ralph Morgan in The Buccaneer. The
following year he appeared in the title role of Julius Caesar and two years later was on
Broadway as Banquo in Macbeth.
On 10 June 1953, Farnum's funeral was held at the Wilshire Methodist Church in

On Wednesday evening at the home of the bride on Twentieth street, will occur the
marriage of Miss Edna Pratt to Dr. Charles Harrington. The wedding is to be very quiet,
and the ceremony , which will be performed by the Rev. Dr. David Howard of the St.
Matthew's Episcopal church, will be witnessed only by the immediate relatives.
The bride is a charming girl, one of the most popular of her set. The groom, who for
the past few years has been here engaged in the practice of dentistry, is the son of Dr.
Harrington, of Newark, Ohio.
After their wedding trip they will be at home in this city. (p. 6)

Has No License. But Dr. Harrington will ask state board for one at once - Hearing next
Tuesday.
Coshocton, December 22 - Dr. Charles Harrington, formerly of Newark, will be
given a hearing next Tuesday on the charge of practicing dentistry without a license or
diploma. The young man has been doing a thriving business here.
His father, Dr. W. W. Harrington, who lives in Newark, is an invalid and
depends upon his son, and he also has a young wife, to whom he was recently married. He
pleaded not guilty to the mayor at the preliminary hearing.
Secretary Brown of the board of examiners said that he had never found a case
which appealed to his sympathies so much as Dr. Harrington's but his duty was plain to
him and he followed it. He is inclined to be lenient.

AND THEIR CHILDREN
Dr. Harrington states that it is a fact that he has neither license nor diploma, but
that he has practiced dentistry for thirteen years - his father and grandfather before him
were dentists in Licking county. He says he as practiced continuously in the state - except
when in the army in the Philippines and then pursued his profession in the camp hospitals.
"I intend to ask the state board at once for a certificate, for, although I spent some of
the time out of the state in the service of Uncle Sam, yet I feel that I am entitled to the
necessary papers to permit me to carry on my business."
"The owner of the Union Painless Parlors is Dr. Monfort, a wealthy and prominent
dentist of Stubenville who owns a series of offices over the state. I have simply been in
charge. I talked with Dr. Monfort over the telephone and he will stand right by me. Our
offices will not close although I shall not practice until I have settled my difficulties with
the state board. Dr. Monfort is coming at once with another dentist who will be free from
any minor technicalities and the work will go right ahead. In fact, we are going to carry
the war into Africa and will stir up the dental prices here in a way that has never been
done before. It is likely that three new chairs will be established at once." (p. 6)

Cassie's obituary reads:
Killed by Lightning - Mrs. Sam Hatfield Struck and Killed By Lightening While in
Garden Last Wednesday Afternoon
Mrs. Sam Hatfield, 51 years of age, who lived in the Lowground near the county
line, was killed instantly last Wednesday afternoon when struck by a bolt of lightning. She
was out in the garden, which is clear of trees and wires, about 70 feet from the house, and
had been setting the plants out when struck, as the bolt first struck the back of her head,
burning the hair from that place, and then without injuring her body, jumped to her
knees.
The accident happened shortly after three o'clock and the body was found in a short
time by Wiford Dole's two little boys and Rollie Lewis' boy who had been fishing. They
ran to the barn immediately and notified Mr. Hatfield, who had just come in from the
field.
The lightening appeared to be from a light cloud passing over, and it was not
storming here at that time of the afternoon, although the sky was very threatening, but an
electrical storm visited here around six o'clock.
Mrs. Hatfield was very well known through the east end of the county and was
highly respected by all and well thought of. Besides her husband, she is survived by two
children.
Cassie Ann Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Miller, was born January 18,
1880, and departed this life April 15, 1931, at the age of 51 years, 2 months and 28 days.
She was united in marriage to Sam Hatfield, February 18, 1897. To this union
were born three children; Alpha, the eldest, dying in infancy, Mrs. Bertie Partin of the
Lowground vicinity; and Neal Hatfield of the Green Grove vicinity, survive.
Besides her husband and two children, she leaves to mourn her departure, her aged
father, three brothers and two sisters, namely; Mrs. Ellen Wade, Worthington; Mrs. R. D.
Lawson, Queen City; George, Greenton; Fred, Stahl; Clem, Queen City; and a number of
more distant relatives and a host of friends.
Her mother preceded her in death June 4, 1926.
She united with the Church of Christ in 1898, later changing her membership to
the Free Will Baptist church and remaining in that faith until death.
She was a kind wife and mother, and will be greatly missed in the home and
community.
