“Though he be dead, yet still he
lives.”
Joseph David Boyd, after a career
of usefulness and satisfaction to his
friends and family, has gone from ua
and the state and community a'ike
mourn for him and as green aa the
bays upon the river Jordan are the
memoriea of him aa a man, Christian,
husband, father and friend.
Just a week ago the city was shocked
to learn that Col. Boyd bad received a
stroke of paralysis, and as swift aa the
wings of love are, those of grief re
sponded more quickly and from then
until his demise every attest of affec
tion was given, not only by hie imme
diate family but by those who knew
and loved him.
He suffered no outward pain ;■ those
around Him far more felt the bereave
ment of the situation, yet were power
less in the presence of the unmielake
able decree of the Great Omnipotent
to even for an instant recall to con
sciousness that voice that had carried
gladness to the hearts of so many.,
So he passed away, “though gone,
unforgolten ever.”
As a man, Mr. Boyd represented the
highest type, and from his younger
manhood until his death he deserved
the eulogy of “an honest man.”
As a Christian, he was consistent
and with an unostentatious love he
was devoted to bis church with a zeal
that has always characterized the
Presbyterians, and while acting as one
of the Humblest was always among the
first to respond, and no call for the
betterment of his denomination ever
went unheeded. In this the right
hand knew not the action of the left,
but bis influence was felt.
As a husband, no one eave his grief
sticken wife can fully appreciate him,
for the tenderness that pertains to
home is sacred to those that are per
mitted to enjoy it; but bis tenderness
for thirty years to the lovely woman
who was always his bride, was appar
ent to all, and his dissolution was an
affliction that was almost too much to
be borne.
As a father, he was kind and indul
gent to a degree that would border on
to idolatrous love for his children had
he not formed their characters in con
sonance with his own, and he knew
and trusted them as bis companions
and friends, and “they revered him
even unto the time when his locks
were grey.” He has left them as a
monument of lovs to his memory.
As a friend I can best speak of him,
for I knew and loved him ; he was my
friend and the day darkened for me
when he was no more, for the light of
his countenance has beamed upon me
since childhood and bis bearty hand
clasp has ever been mine. Others
have enjoyed the same privilege, but
none loved him more. He was sinceie,
he was patient and the troubles of
those who knew him, like the lowly
Nazarene, he took upon himself and
shared them, for he loved and served
his fellow man.
The tear in the heart may not be
apparent, but so long as the memory
of friendships can last, so long will
Joseph D. Boyd live and be regretted
by all who knew him. H. P. B.
