THE LIBERTY REGISTER Liberty, Sullivan Co; New York July 18, 1902 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.
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.
