From The Christian Guardian,
1836-1850; issue dated 5 June 1850: THE
LIBERTY REGISTER .......The ceremony was
performed by REV. WILSON G. BOYD, of West
Died at his home in Middletown, Saturday, July 12th, 1902, of rheumatism of the heart, SAMUEL M. BOYD, aged 51 years. He had been suffering from rheumatism for some time but it was not thought the disease would be fatal. Mr. Boyd was born at Hemstead, Rockland Co., and was the son of REV. JOHN N. and MARY JANE (MILLAPAUGH) BOYD. His father having received and accepted a call to the Liberty Presbyterian church, the family removed here and he attended the Liberty Normal Institute until he was fifteen years old, when he entered the store of Clements & Messiter, general merchants, where he remained for more than a year. After attending the Jersey Shore Academy, Pa., and the Rastus Hall, at Flatbush, L.I., he entered Princeton College, from which he graduated in 1864 with honors. In 1868 he bought the
Middletown Mercury and was its editor and publisher until 1873,
when having invented a system of furnishing newspapers with ready-set
matter in stereotype blocks, he disposed of the paper to
devote himself to the new business. Mr Boyd was the pioneer in
ready-set stereotype business and soon built up a large and profitable
trade. His success, however, attracted the attention of other
stereotypers and several large concerns in New York and other cities
engaged in the business and the competition became so keen that several
years ago he withdrew from the business, much to the regret of his
customers, for editors recognized that his selections were always made
with good taste and good judgment and printers had learned from
experience that no plates were as convenient and accurate as those that
came from his foundry. Deceased was prominent in Masonic circles. Having served Hoffman Lodge in the Wardens' chairs he was chosen Worshipful Master in 1887 and served four years before the members would relaese him, so well and dignified did he fill the position. He increased the membership by initiating many of the prominent men in the city, and ever took a pride in its management. Deceased is survived by
his wife, Louise, who was a daughter of the late Frederick S., of
New York city, and by two sons, Dr Irvin Boyd, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Medical Hospital Corps. with headquarters in
Olean, and Fred N., of the firm of Adams & Boyd, of
Middletown. Mrs Mary S. Berry, widow of Mayor D.W. Berry, is an
only sister. George H. Boyd, of Crystal Run, is an uncle, and Charles J.
Boyd, of the Press, and Samuel W. Millspaugh, the stationer, of
Middletown, were first cousins.

LIVINGSTON: Misses NETTIE BOYD, Mary Loon, Mabel
McArthur, Florence Rowley and
GENERAL'S GRANDSONS ENLIST Torrence, of the
Revolution, Great-Great-Grandfather of Recruits. John P. Reed, Grover C.
Torrence and Harry S. Torrence, all of this city, were enlisted in the
United States army at the recruiting station in this city yesterday.
They "took on" in the cavalry and started for Jefferson
Barracks, MO., last night. The Torrences said that they were brothers
and great - great- grandsons of the General Torrence, who helped
Washington in the Revolutionary war and make the United States an independent
nation. Nothing further has been heard relative to William H. Boyd,
the recruit from this city, who disappeared while on his way to report
at Jefferson Barracks. From the fact that no inquiry has been made here
and that no report of his disappearance has been forwarded, it is
believed that he reported before his limit expired and he was officially
declared a deserter.
