Funeral of Samuel Boyd Held This Wednesday Morning.

The funeral of Samuel Boyd, the inmate of the county farm, who died there Tuesday morning, took place this Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock at the grave in Weston cemetery. Several people who knew him before and after his residence at the county farm, were in attendance. Rev. C. L. Harper, of the M.- EL Church’, conducted the services. Boyd was- said, by those who knew him, to be a good, honest and industrious man, bat poor business judgment in his extreme old age, caused him to lose what little property he had acquired. His integrity was shown by the fact that he saved enough money to pay for burial expenses. Let the people of Rensselaer and Jasper county know what you have to sell; use The Republican Classified
