DEATH SUMMONS COMES AT NIGHT TO CHAS. E. BOYD
Member of Old Frederick County Family Passes Away at Daughter's.
Charles Ellsworth Boyd, 66, member of an old and well-known Frederick county
family, died late last night at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry C. Miller, No. 519 North Cameron street, with whom he had
been residing some years. Death, which came at 10 minutes of 12 o'clock, was due to a complication of
ailments from which Mr. Boyd had been suffering for quite a long time. However, he was confined to his bed only about two weeks. He was a
carpenter by trade, and worked regularly up until a short time ago. He was
employed by Lewis Pearson, well-known Winchester building contractor, and
was regarded as a highly capable and efficient craftsman.
Native of County
Mr. Boyd was a son of the late W. A. and Elizabeth Boyd, of Frederick
county, and was born in the year 1866. He spent his early life on the farm,
and later learned the carpenter trade, which he followed the remainder of
his life. He was a member of the United Brethren Church, and was deeply
interested in the welfare of historic old Red Bud Church in the county. He
had a wide circle of friends in the city and county who deeply regret his
passing away.
Mr. Boyd married Miss Martha Ellen Hinton, of Jefferson county, W. Va. in
188_. She died here November 30, 1923. Surviving him are three sons, Ernest
C. Boyd, of Washington, D. C.: Harry W. Boyd, of Winchester and Strother H.
Boyd, of Red Bud: one daughter Mrs. Maude L. Miller, of Winchester; one
sister, Mrs. H. F. Kerns, of this city, and three brothers, William A., Robert L. and Levi P. Boyd, of Frederick county. He leaves also 10
grandchildren and a number of nephews and nieces.
Funeral Sunday
The funeral will take place from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Miller, No. 519
North Cameron street, at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, services being
conducted by his pastor, the Rev. George W. Stover, assisted by the Rev. H.
Eugene Richardson, a former pastor of the local United Brethren Church, but
now of Reliance, Va. Interment will be in the family lot in Mount Hebron
Cemetery.
Active pallbearers will be H. P. Boyce, M. Lohr Capper, Philip Klompus,
John M. Fishpaw, L. D. Grubbs and Edward Campbell. Honorary pallbearers
