DAN BOYDEN IS DEAD
The sad news of a truly sad death comes today, our citizen, neighbor, friend Daniel Boyden died at the Soldiers' Home, Leavenworth, today, December 21st. Mr. Boyden's failing mental and physical powers have already been told in these columns and while death was anticipated yet it comes as a shock to a multitude of friends. Three weeks ago delusional insanity which has been creeping upon him for months possessed him entirely. All the past flitted including family and friends and he dwelt wholly in a world created by a disordered mind. His physical powers gave way and now the end has come.
Mr. Boyden came to Butler county in 1870, from Mason City, Illinois. He and his family encountered vicissitudes characteristic of pioneers. He was an excellent citizen and neighbor and a loyal friend. He was twice elected Register of Deeds of Butler county, and was an honored, trusted and safe business man. He volunteered early in the civil war in the 73 Illinois, served throughout that struggle and was honorably discharged. He was a member of W. H. L. Wallace Post G. A. R. of El Dorado, a Mason and a Knight of Pythias. He carried an insurance in the A. O. U. W. His age was 56 years. He was born in Massachusetts, ear Boston where his early youth was spent.
