Obituary

Miss Beulah Boyd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Boyd, was born at Ames, Iowa, Nov. 25, 1876, and departed to be with Christ at the home of her sister, Mrs. Amos Spring, near Udell, Iowa, Jan. 30th, 1934, age 57 years, 2 months and 5 days.

In her childhood days she attended Sunday school and church services in the Evangelical church, with which church she united at the age of 21. Later she united with the Presbyterian church, of which she remained a faithful member until her decease.

She lived a devout Christian life, being possessed of great faith in God, and a bright hope for heaven. Her God and her Bible were always first, and it was her aim to begin each day with private Bible reading and prayer. Even the suffering much bodily affliction, she remained faithful and loyal to her Lord to the very last.

She leaves to mourn, two sisters, Mrs. W. F. Hanna of Portland, Oregon, Mrs. Amos Spring of Udell, one brother, George D. Boyd of Pierre, S. D., two nieces, six nephews, besides other relatives and many friends.

Funeral service was conducted in the Brethren church at Udell, by the minister, Rev. Alvin L. Moyer, with interment in Fairview cemetery, Story City.
