Gone to Her Reward
Similde [Simildie] Elton Reynolds was born February 22, 1839, in Pike County, Ohio, and come to Taylor County, Iowa, in 1857. She was married to John S.[aylor] Boyd, March 21, 1860, at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. [euben] A.[lexander] Moser [Rebecca Ann], in Clayton Township, Taylor County.
To this union were born five girls and 3 boys; three of whom are living: Annie R. Hough, Conway, Ia.; Frank N. [ewton], Parsons, Kans.; and Bruce B., Los Angeles, Calif. The latter was not present for the funeral. There are nine grand children and ten great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Boyd with her husband located on the old homestead at old Lexington, where they lived many years and reared their family. Early in life she united with the Methodist church, but upon removal to Bedford, 34 years ago, she became a member of the Presbyterian Church. She continued true to her faith through many years of infirmities. Though deprived of church attendance she regularly read her Bible and strictly observed the Sabbath, usually reading some sermon on that day. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord! "
Mrs. Boyd was a devoted mother, and a kind neighbor; genial in disposition she left the blessings of sunshine on her pathway. She has entered into that rest with loved ones for whom she had longed.
Her husband passed on before her August 4, 1914, and she will be interred in Lexington Cemetery, where she was present at the first burial in that City of the dead. May we so enter into that city that its portals may open out to us in to the City Four Square.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Lumbar at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30.
