Speer, an old citizen of Griffin, but for many years before the advent of McKinleyism an at taches of the treasury department in Washington, was met on our streets yesterday. Col. Speer ia still full of bis old time energy and business push, and bolds hia own remarkably. We remember with pleasure when he ran the Griffin News. josephTboyd. “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.
