DEATH OF BENNETT BOYD

Mr. Boyd whose death occurred Thanksgiving day, takes from Conesus one of its best citizens. His death was not looked for by his friends, but his health had been poor for some time. It came from a general breaking down. Mr. Boyd had been a resident of Conesus since boyhood. Though his business was that of a farmer, he had not always confined himself to it, having acted as an agent for different firms, but traveling was not a congenial business, for he was to fond of his home. Beside Mrs. Boyd, there is one grandson Paul, who is now a resident of Hornell. Mr. Boyd was 80 years of age.

Mr. Boyd was an honored member of the local Masonic lodge and the funeral Sunday was attended by a delegation, which would have been much larger but for the hard storm. The Rev. Dr. Keihle officiated at the funeral and the burial in the Alger cemetery was conducted by the lodge. The community has lost a good citizen.

Same page, same column:

Some Changes at Conesus

Paul Boyd has bought the interest of Mrs. Bennett Boyd in the home farm and has moved to the Stevens house for the present. Mrs. Boyd has bought a house in the village of Conesus.

********************************

Bennett Boyd and his wife, Elizabeth (Jerome) Boyd, had only one child, a daughter, Mary Jane Boyd. Mary had a son born out of wedlock, Paul Hiram Boyd, born the 28th of January 1894. At a point in time, Mary did get married, to Jesse Stevens and moved away from the area. In the 1900 census for Conesus, Livingston County, New York, Paul was living with his grandparents, Bennett & Elizabeth (Jerome) Boyd. By 1910 Bennett had remarried to Matilda (Campbell) as Elizabeth had died in 1902, and Paul was then 16 years old. Matilda WAS NOT Paul's mother, she was his step-grandmother.
