The death
occurred suddenly at his home near Glen
Meyer, on Monday, Dec. 26th, of Mr. James Boyd, Clerk of Houghton
Township, in his 68th year. For some few months he had been in rather
poor health, but was not thought to be dangerously ill. He was as well
as usual on Christmas Day, but shortly after 6 o'clock the next
morning, death came.
Mr. Boyd was born in Bayham
and kept store for a number of years in Tillsonburg
and Vienna, later moving to Houghton. For 20 years he was township
clerk. His widow, formerly Miss Agnes Park of Fairground,
and six daughters survive him.
The funeral last Thursday was
under the auspices of the A.O.U.W., and the township council attended
in a body.
