Obituary:
Died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. H. B. Tanner of the South Side, Tuesday, February 23, 1897, James M. Boyd aged eighty-one years, ten months and ten days. ...
Mr. Boyd was a man of strict integrity, and one who believed in doing every thing well. He practiced in his life the maxim "if a thing was worth doing at all, it was worth doing well." His early relation with the Indians gave him a good command of their language, and as he spoke several, he was employed for years as government interpreter.
Funeral services were held at Dr. Tanner's residence at 10:30 Thursday morning, and the remains taken to Green Bay for interment in the family lot in Woodlawn Cemetery.
------------
Lieutenant James Madison Boyd was born in Washington, D. C., January 13, 1816. He came to the island of Michillimackinac with his father and family, in 1820, and lived there until 1832, when the family removed to Green Bay. He enlisted for the Black Hawk War as lieutenant, leaving Green Bay July 26, 1832. After the close of the war, he acted as interpreter for his father until 1839, when he married Maria H. Lawe, a daughter of Judge John Lawe, of Green Bay. Living on the south side of the Fox river, between Green Bay and Depere, he followed farming until 1873, when he removed to Depere, and afterward to Kaukauna, where Mrs. Boyd died in 1879.
Of their large family of children, only two are living at present,--a daughter, married to the writer hereof, and a son, N. C. B. Boyd. Their sons John and Joshua Boyd served in the last war. Joshua received injuries resulting in the amputation of both feet, from which he died in one of the hospitals in New York; John contracted consumption in the army, from which he died soon after coming home.
