    7. [S4] Obituary.
      Former Pioneer of County Buried May 2
      Service For Charles R. Boyd Held at Ocheyedan.
       Funeral service for Charles Robert Boyd, 84, who died at Denver, Colo., April 28, was held at Ocheyedan Thursday, May 2, with the Rev. J. L. Ralston in charge. Masonic burial service followed. Burial was in the Ocheyedan cemetery.
       Mr. Boyd was born in Lawrence, Mass., September, 1850 and came to Iowa in 1872, driving from Cedar Falls by team and wagon to Osceola county. Here he homesteaded an eighty acre tract northwest of Ocheyedan. In May, 1875 he married Clara Gertrude Cleveland and to this union seven children were born, two dying in infancy. Mrs. Boyd died November 5, 1905, and a daughter Bessie Reese in 1931. Mr. Boyd on March 18, 1914 married Mrs. Sadie Bloom, who with his four children survive his passing.
       Charles Boyd was a true pioneer of Osceola county coming when it was but a bare prairie. He went through the blizzard and grasshopper time of the seventies using hay and flaxstraw for fuel.
       About 1875 in the company of his brother, Lorenzo and Ezra Cleaveland they purchasd a threshing machine and worked over the counties of Osceola, O’Brien and Lyon in Iowa and Nobles county in Minnesota. These three men would often work their machine all winter, digging stacks of grain out of the snow and working in below zero weather that the settles might have wheat for flour and seed to the next sprint.
       In 1886 Mr. Boyd moved to town and engaged in the well business, which he followed a good many years. In the fall of 1919 he moved to Denver, Colo., where he remained until his death.
       Charles Robert Boyd is survived by his widow, Mrs. Sadie Boyd; two daughters, Iola Crump of Los Angeles, Cal., and Nellie Paisley of Ocheyedan; two sons Hardy Q. of Denver and Bernard A. of Olahoma City; one sister, Luena H. Grout of St. Paul, and two brothers, Lorenzo B. of Larned, Kan., and Frank J. of Ocheyedan.
