           [312]

           BYRON W. BOYD, merchant at Soule, was born March 11, 1847, in
        Leeds Co., Ont.  His parents, ROBERT and SARAH (BROW) BOYD, were
        natives respectively of Ontario and the State of Vermont.  They are
        now living in retirement in Forest, Ont.  The father has been a
        leading agriculturalist of Lambton Co., Ont.
           MR. BOYD was reared to manhood on his father's farm, and remain-
        ed under the parental roof until he was 26 years of age.  In 1874
        he engaged in a general mercantile business at Jura, Lambton Co.,
        Ont., which he conducted seven years. Closing out his interest
        there, he came to Michigan, in May, 1881 and soon after established
        the business he has since conducted. He carries a stock worth
        $3,500, and transacts an annual business which in the aggregate
        amounts to about $6,000. His mercantile affairs have been pros-
        perous, and from the first have been increasing.
           He is a Republican in political persuasion.
           His marriage to ISABELLA M. PAINE took place March 20, 1873.
        She was born in St. John's County, Quebec, and is the daughter of
        JOHN and ANN K. (MILNER) PAINE. Her parents were of English and
        Scotch nationality, respectively, and early in life settled in the
        Province of Quebec. Her father died May 27, 1871; the demise of her
        mother occurred March 19, of the same year. The one was 78 years of
        age, the other 69 years old. The family went, in 1870, to Ontario,
        where her mother died, and where she was married two years later.
