LUCINDA ROGERS BOYD

LUCINDA ROGERS BOYD, the author of "Chronicles of Cynthiana and Other
Chronicles," besides numerous short poems of merit and other productions, is a woman of rare and vigorous intellect and of whom Cynthiana is especially proud.

Mrs. Boyd is the widow of the late JUDGE J. STROTHER BOYD, and daughter
of Sam ROGERS and Elizabeth IRVINE.  Her father was one of the noted pioneer preachers of Kentucky, advocating the Bible and the Bible alone as a rule of faith and practice.  Her mother was a descendent of the old Scotch Irvines.  William de Irvine, spoken of in the Peerage of Scotland, was her ancestor. His grandson married Janet Douglas, grand-daughter of Robert Bruce.  From this family have descended many brilliant writers, and all in this country are more or less prominent in public and in private life.

Mrs. Boyd is now about middle life and the mother of an interesting family of four sons and two daughters.  She is a woman of striking personnel with traces of her noble ancestors in bearing and general appearance.  In stature rather above medium, with a full, well-rounded form and clear-cut, classical features, shadowed by masses of glossy, richly waving black hair.  She has a deep penetrating black eye whichever and anon twinkles with wicked merriment and a mouth whose every curve indicates a love of fun, while the gleaming, strong, firmly set teeth show the courage of the Bruce.

Mrs. Boyd is of a responsive, appreciative nature and a universal favorite.  She numbers among her close friends quite as many men as women, quite as many poor as rich, goes wherever duty calls and is a noble type of Christian womanhood. Her success as a writer is devoutly desired and, we believe, perfectly assured.
