SAMUEL MILLSPAUGH BOYD

Died at his home in Middletown, Saturday, July 12th, 1902, of rheumatism of the heart, SAMUEL M. BOYD, aged 51 years. He had been suffering from rheumatism for some time but it was not thought the disease would be fatal. Mr. Boyd was born at Hemstead, Rockland Co., and was the son of REV. JOHN N. and MARY JANE (MILLAPAUGH) BOYD. His father having received and accepted a call to the Liberty Presbyterian church, the family removed here and he attended the Liberty Normal Institute until he was fifteen years old, when he entered the store of Clements & Messiter, general merchants, where he remained for more than a year. After attending the Jersey Shore Academy, Pa., and the Rastus Hall, at Flatbush, L.I., he entered Princeton College, from which he graduated in 1864 with honors. 

In 1868 he bought the Middletown Mercury and was its editor and publisher until 1873,  when having invented a system of furnishing newspapers with ready-set matter in stereotype blocks,  he disposed of  the paper to devote himself to the new business.  Mr Boyd was the pioneer in ready-set stereotype business and soon built up a large and profitable trade.  His success, however, attracted the attention of other stereotypers and several large concerns in New York and other cities engaged in the business and the competition became so keen that several years ago he withdrew from the business, much to the regret of his customers, for editors recognized that his selections were always made with good taste and good judgment and printers had learned from experience that no plates were as convenient and accurate as those that came from his foundry. 
After giving up the stereotype business he formed a partnership with Major Wilbur M. Combs in the insurance and real estate business, which continued for several years, when he disposed of his interest in the firm to A.B. Wilbur.  He then resumed the practice of law, subsequently adding to it that of insurance brokerage, in which he was engaged at the time of his death. 

Deceased was prominent in Masonic circles. Having served Hoffman Lodge in the Wardens' chairs he was chosen Worshipful Master in 1887 and served four years before the members would relaese him, so well and dignified did he fill the position. He increased the membership by initiating many of the prominent men in the city, and ever took a pride in its management. 

Deceased is survived by his wife, Louise, who was a daughter of the late Frederick S., of New York city, and by two sons, Dr Irvin Boyd, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Medical Hospital Corps. with headquarters in Olean,  and Fred N., of the firm of Adams & Boyd, of Middletown.  Mrs Mary S. Berry, widow of Mayor D.W. Berry, is an only sister. George H. Boyd, of Crystal Run, is an uncle, and Charles J. Boyd, of the Press, and  Samuel W. Millspaugh, the stationer, of Middletown, were first cousins.

GENERAL'S GRANDSONS ENLIST 

Torrence, of the Revolution, Great-Great-Grandfather of Recruits. John P. Reed, Grover C. Torrence and Harry S. Torrence, all of this city, were enlisted in the United States army at the recruiting station in this city yesterday. They "took on" in the cavalry and started for Jefferson Barracks, MO., last night. The Torrences said that they were brothers and great - great- grandsons of the General Torrence, who helped Washington in the Revolutionary war and make the United States an 
independent nation. Nothing further has been heard relative to William H. Boyd, the recruit from this city, who disappeared while on his way to report at Jefferson Barracks. From the fact that no inquiry has been made here and that no report of his disappearance has been forwarded, it is believed that he reported before his limit expired and he was officially declared a deserter.
