BOYD, David L. - David L. Boyd was born on July 11th, 1842 and died on July 4th, 1925 at the age of 82 years, 11 months and 23 days. Uncle David, as he was commonly known, had for some years made his home with his nephew, E. Piercy of Osage Mills, and where he was residing at the time of his death. He was married in January 1868 to Margaret Wilkinson who preceded him to the better world ten years ago. He came to Arkansas from Missouri in the year 1867 and had lived here the remainder of his life. He was an ex-Confederate soldier and was most loyal to his post of duty at the time of the Civil War. He is the last of an old family, his brothers and sisters all having preceded him to the Great Beyond. He leaves to mourn their loss a number of nieces and nephews and other relatives. He was converted at the age of 42 years and united with the Missionary Baptist Church and was a faithful member at the time of his death. He was laid to rest in the Temperance Hill cemetery on Sunday, July 5th. Rev. Rice of Springdale had charge of the services. Six great-nephews acted as pallbearers.
