Letitia Christine Boyd

Born October 29, 1891 in Columbus, Nebraska
Died February 10, 1912 in Columbus, Nebraska

Letitia Christine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Boyd, passed away last Saturday morning at the family home in west Columbus, after a long illness. Fifteen months ago, while teaching school near Humphrey, she contracted a severe cold. It developed, finally, into consumption. In early life Miss Boyd accepted the Christian religion, becoming a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in August, 1900, and during her late illness she found much consolation in her faith. She was conscious to the last, and when the hour of death came she called her home people to her bedside, cheerfully bade them good-bye, and promised to meet them in the better world. Miss Boyd was twenty one years old October 29, last. She was born in Columbus. She was a member of the class graduating from the city high school in 1910, and afterward she became a school teacher. Illness interrupted her work during her first year of teaching. In her home and among associates she was loved for many excellent traits of womanhood. The funeral of Miss Boyd was conducted at the family home Monday afternoon by Rev. Chas. W. Ray, pastor of the M.E. church. The relatives from a distance in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Boyd and Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Palme of Norfolk. Mr. Boyd is a brother, and Mrs. Palme is a sister of the deceased. Interment was in Columbus cemetery.
