                           Dr. Michael Austin Boyd

The death of Dr. Michael Austin Boyd, on 6th March, 1899, came with a shock upon the medical profession and the public alike. Dr. Boyd began practice in Kingstown, where his sterling qualities and intrinsic merits gained him a large and remunerative connection. On the establishment of St. Michael's Hospital in that township he was selected as chief of its surgical staff, and by the good work which he did amongst the sick poor of that important district, as well as by the value of his contributions to medical literature, his fame rapidly extended. In 1882 he was appointed unanimously as one of the physicians to the premier hospital of Ireland - the Mater Misericordiae, where his skilful treatment was in constant requisition up to the time of his untimely death. During those years no man ever devoted himself to the interests of the afflicted under his charge with more signal utility, more untiring zeal, greater personal kindliness and charity, and more complete self-abnegation than Dr. M. A. Boyd. In addition to his eminence in his profession, Dr. Boyd attained much distinction in the artistic world of Dublin, where he frequently exhibited his exquisite works at the Exhibition of Water Colours in Molesworth Street. At the time of his death Dr. Boyd was in the prime of life, and it was in the hunting field be contracted a chill which quickly developed into acute pneumonia. His funeral to Glasnevin on 9th March was a remarkable demonstration of the esteem in which he was held both by the members of his own profession and by the general public. What made the occasion sadder was the fact that Dr. Boyd was accompanied to the grave by the remains of his devoted mother, an estimable lady, whose strength did not withstand the shock of her son's death, and she passed away within a few hours. http://indigo.ie/~kfinlay/cemeteries/cem19.htm
