George M. Boyd, well know garage owner of East Liverpool, is a reliable and substantial citizen of Columbiana County. He was born near Hookstown, Pa., January 22, 1886, and is the son of Thomas H. Boyd and Sarah Jane (Steffler) Boyd.

Thomas H. Boyd, deceased, was a native of Beaver County, Pa., as was his wife. He was born January 2, 1841, and she was born December 25, 1845. Mr. Boyd engaged in general farming and stock raising during his life and met with marked success. He owned a well improved farm of 57 acres and was an extensive breeder of pure bred cattle. He was a Democrat and a member of the United Presbyterian Church. He died in 1913 and his wife died in 1917.

George M. Boyd began life as a farmer. He attended the public schools of Beaver County and after completing his schooling purchased a tract of 60 acres. He later bought the old homestead, which he farmed until 1916, at which time he removed to East Liverpool and engaged in automobile repair work. He has conducted the Boyd Repair Shop at 126 Rural Lane since September, 1920, and this ranks among the up-to-date and dependable garages of the city.
