William was the eight of nine children born to his parents, and passed his youth in this county, and here received a fair education. his first business venture was farming, but in 1883 he commenced a mercantile business with Robert Boyd as partner, a partnership which still continues to meet with great success. he was, in 1886, appointed justice of the peace. In 1883 Mr. Boyd married Miss Flora Dodd, daughter of William P. Dodd, and they have been blessed with three children, viz.: Jesse B., Maggie J. and William H.

The subject of this sketch belongs to the class commonly termed “self-made Men,” having won success and wealth by his own exertions, and superior judgement.
