The death of Mrs. Emily Boyd, a pioneer resident of Jamestown, occurred Saturday afternoon at 4:15 at the home of her son, C.H.

came to Jamestown in 1882.  Mr. Boyd died 32 years ago, and one son, William, has also passed away.  She is survived by five sons and one daughter: C.H. and Fred Boyd of Jamestown, Frank Boyd of Rapid City, S. Dak. Doc Boyd of San Antonia, Texas, and C.W. of Spirit Lake, Ida., and Mrs. W.J. Birmingham, of Seattle.  The latter reached Jamestown Saturday morning in time to see her mother before she passed away.  Doc Boyd was unable to attend the funeral.

The funeral was held this afternoon at the Congregational chuch at 2 o'clock, Rev. C.H. Phillips, the pastor, officiating.  The pall bearers were W.E. Boise, R.G. McFarland, J.E. Salting, Mr. Martin, A.C. Walsh and W.P. Ringuette.  Burial was at Highland Home cemetery.
