Boyd M. Inglish's Death

Boyd M Inglish died after a three days illness, Wednesday of last week at the home of his daughter in Maplewood, St. Louis County, and Mrs. J. P. Sewell. The funeral service was at Clarksburg in this county Thursday afternoon, the interment at Masonic Cemetery, Rev. W. H. Smith of the Methodist Church of this city preaching the funeral discourse.

Mr. Inglish was born in this county, (then Cole County) in April 1821, being nearly 87 years of age. He was born on the farm that his father John Inglish located on in 1818 from Tennessee, when Missouri was a territory, Boyd Inglish being the youngest of a large family of children and the last surviving member of the immediate family of John Inglish, the founder of the Inglish family in this section of Missouri. The farm is still with the family, now owned by A. N. Harvey, whose wife is the daughter of John Inglish, Jr. who owned the old homestead up to his death in 1866. The farm is located on the Moniteau near the Missouri River embracing some 400 acres.

Boyd M. Inglish has lived here nearly his entire life barring the past few years that he made his home with his daughter at Maplewood. He was a genial, clever, good man with many friends.

He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and a Mason. He was elected on the democratic ticket Probate Judge for this county in 1874, serving four years, defeating Miles Allee, who was the republican nominee. Mr. Allee, being a very strong, popular man; this probably being the only defeat that he ever met with at a general election in this county.

Mr. Inglish was fond of music and handled the "fiddle and the bow" up to his death, enjoyed playing those good old tunes such as "Arkansas Traveler", "Fisher's Hornpipe", "The Campbell's are coming" etc. He was visiting his many relatives and friends in this county but a short while ago. A favorite expression of Uncle Boyd was "Narry Nation" and many of his friends addressed him as "Narry Nation." He was blessed all of his life with good health, lived to an advanced age and retained all of his faculties to the end. His wife, who died several years, ago, was Catherine Maupin, a daughter of James Maupin a pioneer settler of Linn Township.

He is survived by two sons, James M and John B. Inglish who own farms and reside in Cooper County, and one daughter, Mrs. Maggie Sewell of Maplewood, MO.
