He was born in Wallace, Cumberland county, Nova Scotia, the son of Rev. and Mrs. Samuel Boyd. He learned the trade of moulder and foundryman and came to Dexter 33 years ago entering the Fay & Scott shops and has been a valued employee ever since, being foreman of the foundry for the past 25 years. Much interested in Masonry he was a member of Penobscot lodge, F. & A. M., and St. John's R. A.
