George was a son of Wm. & Anne White Boyd. He purchased and operated the feed and flour mill at Tippecanoe from 1855 until 1890, having bought out his father's interest and that of James Dix. He converted the mill from the old burr stone system to the roller process in 1889. (For many years the grindstones sat in the front of the Boyd house at Tippecanoe.) George married Eliza Vail Markee in 1857. In 1890, George sold the mill to his son, Albert, and In his retirement, he and the family moved to Scio (1890) where they ran a boarding house for the oil workers. In 1904 George and Eliza moved to a huge house in Uhrichsville where George died ten years later. He was the father of seven children: Belinda (Conwell), Albert, Lyde (Billingsley), Luther, Annie (Groves), Martha (Carruthers), & Arthur. George was a staunch Presbyterian; up at 4 a.m. and to bed by 8 p.m. every day! He fell at his home in Uhrichsville, broke his hip and died a few weeks later. All his children but Albert were with him at his death.
