      James W. Boyd was born July 26, 1855, in Carroll County, Ga., being 76 years of age at the time of his death, May 24, 1931. Moving to the State of Alabama was married to Josephine Richards, Dec. 9, 1878. Came to Texas his adopted State in 1887 settling near Garrison, Nacogdoches County, near the place of his death. To this union ten children were born, six boys and four girls. Nine of whom survive him, C.E., E.C., and G.H. Boyd of Fort Worth, Texas; U.G. Boyd of Houston; A.H. Boyd of Jourdantown, Mrs. John Elbert of Houston; Mrs. J.T. Hough of Nacogdoches; Mrs. W.H. Garrison of Shreveport, La.; Mrs. J.P. Homes of Garrison, Texas. Brother Boyd was converted and joined the Missionary Baptist Chirch at Mount Pisgah, thirty-one years ago, and was a faithful member of the same church until the death angel called him home. Few men are more devoted or more loyal to their church than he, or contended more earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the Saints, than he did. Coming to Texas in an early day he imbibed the spirit of our forefathers who knew nothing but faith and devotion to the causes they espoused, he possessed no spirit of compromise, he met the world, the flesh, and the devil with the unfurled banner, the sword of God's truth, through and by which he was victor, even in the midst of evil days and a wicked and perverse generation, he had faith in God, that He would care for his own, he died as he lived in the triumph of a living faith in Jesus Christ. And while he has been taken from us, yet his Christian character and influence will remain, for the Bible says,"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, yea saith the spirit they do rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Like Abel of old "dead yet he speaks." Thus another good citizen, loving companion and devoted father has passed to his reward. His funeral was held in Walnut Grove Church, Nacogdoches County, conducted by the writer, his pastor for several years. Interment was in Walnut Grove cemetery in the presence of a large congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives, the floral offerings but spoke the love and appreciation of those who knew him, his body awaits the resurrection of the just peace to his ashes. - Elder J. R. Welch Garrison, Texas
