He had been hospitalized at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital from February 12 to March 15. He was born December 24, 1891, in Douglas, Wyoming to Frank and Blanche Boyd. The family left Wyoming in 1906 and lived in various places in Idaho and Montana before settling on the Sweet Grass in 1911. Mr. Boyd homesteaded on Sourdough Creek twenty miles north of Big Timber soon afterward. On March 23, 1918, he and Marjorie Snyder were married at Glasston and they lived on his homestead until 1934 when they moved into Big Timber. He owned and operated the Modern Blacksmith Shop from 1935 to 1952 when he retired. After retirement, he finally found more time for trapping, hunting and fishing. In June 1972 he was married to Delia Plaggemeyer who passed away in October 1973. His parents, wife Marjorie, two brothers, and one sister preceded him in death. Survivors include his four children, Mrs. Ralph (Bernice) Porter of Bozeman, Mrs. Kenneth (Elaine) Casper of Big Timber, Donald Boyd of Bozeman, and Gordon Boyd of Port Angeles Washington; a sister Edna Martin of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; a brother, Arthur Boyd of Olga, Wahington; six grandchildren ten great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. In a complicated world, Mr. Boyd managed to live in simplicity. He took time for everyone, making them feel special. He was well-known for his vast knowledge of nature and wildlife, spending many hours "out in the hills". He asked so little and gave so much. Funeral services will be Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. at the Lowry Funeral Home with Rev. Arnold E. Erickson of Livingston officiating and obituary will be read by Rev. Sheldon Vik. Casket bearers will be Jim Howe, Lorn Pudwill, Montie Riter, Bob Woolley, Marting Kolence, and Al Braughton. Soloists will be Mrs. Dale Crabb and Gary Watne with Mrs. Sheldon Vik as organist. "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder" and "Lord Keep Your Hand On Me" will be the selections. Interment will be in Mountain View Cemetery. Contributor: Julia Kinsey (48922386) •
