DR. ROBERT FULTON BOYD CROSSES THE BAR THE END CAME SUDDENLY SATURDAY MORNING. Nashville Thrown In a Frenzy As The News Spreads. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. DR. ROBERT FU BOYD CROSS THE END CAME S DAY MO Nashville Thro As The New Vol. VII. Funeral Attended by Thousands— Bishop Tyree Officiates—"What is Your Life" Theme—Obituary Read by Bishop Phillips— Many Speakers Pay High Tributes — Resolutions Societies and Other The announcement of the death of Nashville's oldest Negro physicians and one of Tennessee's most noted men in the person of Dr. R. F. Boyd, cast over the entire city last Saturday morning a gloom such as has never been witnessed before. People stood upon the streets looking and staring at each other in blank amazement. Telephone wires throughout the city were all busy. "Dr. Boyd is dead" was the doleful, heart-rending statement that was heard on many lips. None believed the statement, notwithstanding it was true. Men, women and children who have known Dr. Boyd all of their lives welt alike. There were hardly any dry eyes in the city. One of the most pathetic scenes was in and around the Boyd Infirmary, where the aged and invalid mother of the deceased has been a constant sufferer with paralysis for the past twelve months. Every practicing physician in the city of Nashville and every prominent man who could find room in the Boyd's Infirmary went with bowed heads and aching hearts to render whatever service they could to the bereaved mother, friends and household. DR STEWART CALLED. Dr. Stewart was called from his residence at 8 a.m. and reached the bedside at 8:20. He found the patient suffering with excruciating pains in the pit and upper part of the stomach. He stated to Dr. Stewart that he had eaten breakfast and had drunk seven or eight glasses of ice water, which were very cold. Shortly after breakfast he began to suffer pains and vomited some and also had some bowel movement. When I first saw him his pulse was good; he was perspiring freely, but was in so much pain that he could not lie still in bed. After about five minutes the pulse began to disappear from the wrist and was gone entirely in two minutes. He continued to breathe three or four minutes. Everything was done to bring back heart action. In a few moments the pulse reappeared at the wrist and disappeared. The breathing then stopped entirely. After two minutes he breathed once or twice more. The eyclot's then dilated and I knew the end was at hand. He died exactly at 8:50. unconscious. The last words he said were he felt very sick, that he had drunk too much ice tea for breakfast. The nurses, Miss Bessie Patron and Mrs. Ida Harlan, were by his side when the end came. Mrs. Harlan was holding his head and Miss Patton was assisting Dr. Stewart. Dr. H. T. Noel and Dr. J. A. McMillan came immediately afterward. Dr. R. F. Boyd at the time of his death was the chief official of the Independent Order of Immunacules. He is the Supreme Grand Master of the organization and was serving the fourth year of duty. For many years he was the Supreme Deputy Grand Master under the late Dr. W. A. Hadley the founder of the Order. Dr. Boyd was one of the nine original members who founded the Order in 1867. He was on July 11, 1912, re-elected for the eighth consecutive time to the office of Grand Worthy Counselor, which is the head of the Court of Calanthe, the ladies' department of the Knights of Pythias in the State of Tennessee. He was President of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Co., President of Boyd's Infirmary, President of the Negro Board of Trade, a leader in all things tending to the uplift of his people. The funeral services will he hold Monday morning at Ryman Auditorium at 10 o'clock, at which time the citizens will hold a memorial befitting the reputation of the man. The arrangements are in the hands of Dr. F. A. Stewart, Mr. A. N. Johnson and Dr. J. P. Crawford, by special request of his mother. Mr. A. N. Johnson was called. When he arrived Mrs. Crawford sent him to come to her room and instructed him to take charge of the remains and carry them to his place and make all arrangements "just like my son would have it done." She said: "I saw Brother Johnson coming --- NASHVILLE GLOBE. for me with white horses and told my son the other night, when he took me in his arms and put me to bed," and she wanted him to call Dr. Stewart and my son, Dr. Crawford and make all arrangements." Mrs. Crawford was surrounded by family and friends, all anxious to fulfill her wishes. The remains were carried to Johnson's undertaking establishment and personally embalmed. The committee met at 12 o'clock. The auditorium was decided upon, although the management demanded $100.00. The physical condition of Mrs. Crawford caused the committee to decide to have the funeral Monday as a later date would not have been advisable. No church was large enough to accommodate his friends and his connection with so many interests, organizations, etc., precluded the usual church funeral, and instead demanded an accurately timed program. The committee considered his personal and intimate friends, his church, the lodges, local, state and supreme, the denominations, the professions, business interests and the wishes of both Dr. Boyd and his family in the formation of the program leaving the final details and execution upon Mr. Johnson, who was placed in control. The Funeral. The procession formed on Fourth avenue, headed by Dr. Boyd's automobile with Dr. G. W. Hubbard, Bishops Tyre and Phillips and Dr. Stewart, master of ceremonies. Then the Immaculate Band, Immaculate Commandery, Uniformed members of Immaculates, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, members in regalia, Sons of Relief, numbering more than five hundred on foot parade; Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias in carriages; Grand Court of Calanthe in carriages; Queen Esther Court, I. O. I. in carriages; Martha Court of Calanthe in carriages; Harmony Court of Calanthe in carriages; Supreme Lodge members of Immaculates; Purity Lodge Knights of Pythias; Sons of Relief; The Nurses of the city; the Flower Wagon; Silver Grey draped Funeral Car with remains; family and friends following in a line of carriages, automobiles and other vehicles about one half mile in length. The streets were lined with thousands of people along the route. The procession returned by the Infirmary so mother could see it, who surrounded by loving friends, waved a farewell and smiled at Mr. Johnson, who was driving the hearse with commendation and pleasure at that position. Thousands had proceeded to the cemetery. The remains were incased in a state casket massively designed in King George style, copperlined and deposited in burglar proof lead coated steel vault in Mt Ararat Cemetery, where they lay to await the resurrection morning. Scene at Auditorium. When the procession reached the Auditorium the crowd filled the street from Demonbrun to Church street. The funeral party filed in the Auditorium, as they had been arranged. The massive steel gray casket was raised to the platform and rested on a purple couch, which was underlayed with a steel gray rug. Dr. Stewart arose and announced that Dr. Moore would invoke divine blessings. The choral class rendered music. Bishop C. H. Phillips read the obituary as follows: Obituary by Bishop Phillips. The deceased, Robert Fulton Boyd, was born July 8, 1855, in Pulaski, Tenn., and died July 20, 1912, in Nashville, Tenn. His parents were Maria Coffey and Ed Boyd. Being born and reared to a large extent on the farm, he had not the advantages of an early education. But he had a thirst for an education and came to Nashville in search of the same. Here he worked and attended school until he had obtained a fair education. He returned to Giles County and for a number of years taught in the rural schools. In the very first school that he taught, he succeeded in making an indelible impression upon the mind of the County Superintendent by showing that he had the ability to do things. In his work as a teacher he soon gained the confidence and respect of the entire community, which was evidenced by his securing the best schools of the county and being chosen to hold the institutes for teachers from time to time. But it was not as a teacher where his greatest NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JULY 26, 1912. HE WAS THE FRIEND OF THE NEEDY. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie, facing forward. The background is a plain, light color. The man's face is centered, and he has a mustache.] ROBERT FULTON BOYD, A. M., M. D., D. D. S. Born July 8, 1855. Died July 20, 1912. genius was to be shown; he always had an absorbing desire to become a physician. He returned to Nashville and entered Meharry Medical College, from which he graduated with honor in the class of 1882. Dr. Boyd entered upon his practice here in the city of Nashville, and his brilliant record as a physician is so well known by all that it needs no further comment here. As an enterprising business man, Dr. Boyd had few superiors. For years he was one of the busiest and one of the hardest worked men in the state. Between the labors of building up a large and lucrative practice, he devoted much time to enterprises which had for their special mission the uplift of the people. At the time of his death he was the active head of many organizations and societies of a charitable and benevolent character. At an early age, Dr. Boyd conctured himself with the A. M. E. Church, and during all his career as a professional and business man, he has ever kept in mind the life and teachings of the lowly Nazarene, and in his effort to walk in His footsteps, he administered to the poor and needy, cared for the widow and succored the orphan. His, indeed, was a life of work and devotion, as many here present can attest. His tender devotion to his aged and and afflicted mother bepeaks the true character of Dr. Boyd more fit tingly than words. He is dead' and we bow in humble submission to the will of the Father. "I have been asked to speak just five minutes a word in memory of our deceased brother, Dr. Robert Fulton Boyd. The Psalmist, David when he was harassed by his enemies, and when his life seemed in great danger by reason of the hostilty of King Solomon, he remarked that 'there was but a step between him and death.' Surely those words find illustration in the sudden taking away of Dr. R. F. Boyd. On last Friday night he attended the session of the Negro Board of Trade; ate supper with a friend; went home as usual to take his rest, not thinking he was going for the last time. He rose Saturday morning and ate his breakfast, after which he went out upon the lawn in front of his infirmary on Cherry street. And in less than an hour he had breathed his last. There was but a step between him and death. I have known Dr. Boyd for thirty-four years, and thirty-four years constitute a large part in the life and history of any man who was of the age of Dr. Boyd and myself, in 1882 in a class of eight: young men, he graduated from Mehary Medical College. I was a member of that class; and so, during all these years he was my friend, classmate and best of all, my brother in Christ Jesus. We were young men together. As a student he was close, analytic and discriminate; analytic because his mind was naturally of an analytic turn; discriminate because he was always a man of good judgment. Those qualities so characterized his life that it touched all the people in this country, a?f,fbHV does this outpouring here mean? It means that this man's life has touched the lives of these people and that he will be long remembered in this community." Oration by Bishop Tyree. At the conclusion of Bishop Phillips' remarks, the Nashville Choral Society sang a jubilee song, Dr. Stewart then presented Bishop Evans Tyre, who was to deliver the funeral oration. Bishop Tyre said: "My friends, I am going to undertake one of the hardest tasks of my life, I am going to read a few phrases for a text, which you will find in the 4th chapter and 14th verse of the Epistle of James. "The brevity of time is wonderful. Our years fly like dreams. From childhood to manhood is but a span; from manhood to old age is a shorter span still; and by the law of limitation our three score and ten years call us to halt at the grave's mouth; and the dust words: 'Ashes to ashes, the dust to dust' is repeated up on us, and we are covered up until the last day when God shall call the dead. It was but yesterday, seemingly, when I was in my bed, I and my family, wife and three children, were stricken down with measles; and the man whose remains lay here before us came one morning and wrapped on my door, none of us were up; a perfect stranger, he started upon a task which he did not leave until he had restored health in that house. Our friendship has been of the very highest, and from the time of his graduation, or soon thereafter, he became the physician of my family, and administered to the last until his life was spirited away, seemingly as the lightning flashes. On Saturday morning, after I had made for days a trying itinerary in my district in the far East, I arrived at home and inquired how everybody was; all seems to be well; but by breakfast time a message came to the house, "Dr. Boyd is dead." I have not really realized it yet. I now stand over his ashes, his lifeless form, my former friend and brother, and yet it is a hard thing for me to believe that I shall not speak to him tomorrow; that he will not come to me when I phone him I am sick; that he will not come to my aged mother, whose physician he has been all of these years. Those who have reached the threshold of old age must say tomorrow: "Life! we have been together in bright and cloudy weather; but now we must part." Then steal away; take tine own time; say not "Goodbye," but in some fair clime bid us "Good morning." And so, our friend had not time to say "steal away." Life stole him away with little warning. When his physician came he told him what he had eaten that brought on the attack which caused his death; that swept him away. In the next moment reason was dethroned; speech was silenced; the summons comes: "he is gone." "Dr. Boyd was a friend, a friend to everybody; broadhearted, liberal, and a good man; as politic as a Chesterfield, never tired in his kindness; worked himself out helping others. We speak of altruism. We had it exemplified in the life of Dr. Robert Fulton Boyd. A night never got too dark; the weather never too cold or too hot for him to go on an errand of mercy and help. Strangers who came to the city that stood for anything at all always got brotherly consideration from Dr. Boyd. He helped the stranger to feel at home; that though in a strange land there were some sympathizing hearts. He was a great help to the young, reaching out a hand of helpfulness to his race. Yes, more than that. I love a man that is broader than a race. A. M. E.'S TO MEET HERE MANY DISTINGUISHED DIVINES COMING.

PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BANK DIRECT TORS WILL MEET MON- DAY NIGHT The Directors of the People's Savings Bank are called to meet Monday night in a special meeting. It was not learned what the special call was for, but it is rumored that in all probability a successor to Dr. Boyd will be chosen in answer to the query as to the business of the bank. Since the death of the president it was learned that there has been no perceptible fall off. The business continues to move along as usual. ALABAMA DELEGATION.

BOYD MEMO RIAL MEETING AT THE MAJESTIC SUNDAY A call is hereby issued by the Board of Trade, other organizations of leading citizens and friends of the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, for a meeting to be held Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Majestic Theatre. The purpose of the meeting is to erect a monument to the memory of Dr. R. F. Boyd. The call is issued by Mr. A. N. Johnson, chairman of the Executive Committee Dr. F. A. Stewart, Mr. T. Clay Moore and others. He was willing to help everybody. He gave his time in a way that made his life full—in the church, in society, in his profession, in the social circle, everywhere. And now, somebody says, "we speak as if he was immaculate." No! not immaculate; but he was a man, a great and good man, a man that had his weaknesses as every other man; but I want to tell you his manhood powers predominated his weaknesses. "Many of us will miss him. Out on that hill yonder, the old Tennessee Central grounds, now Walden University, and further upon the hill where Mehary Medical College stands, where that bequeath came just at a time when needed, there stood a man who grasped the helm and stood there until last Saturday morning. He took the college course, pharmaceutical course, dental course, and the full medical course, and used them all. And thank God! with all he remembered his God. I remember one morning, Dr. Boyd came (Continued on Page 3) TENNESSEE'S LEAL- ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.31 GHICAGO GET- TING READY EXTENSIVE PREPARATION FOR MEETING. National Negro Business League Local Committee Working Out Details—Many Pleasure Jaunts Contemplated&—Large Attendance Anticipated—Many Specials Will be Run to Meeting—Local League Wide-Awake—Meeting Will Break All Records. The citizens of Chicago are greatly aroused over the coming of the thirteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League to the city, August 21, 22, 23. It promises to be the greatest session ever held in the history of the League. Dr. C. G. Hall, chairman of the local committee, and Mr. Neighbors, the secretary, have been kept busy during the past few months arranging for the comfort and entertainment of the delegates and visitors, as many will take advantage of the League to spend a short vacation in Chicago. Dr. Hall announces that they are now ready for the meeting and assures all that the entertainment, the receptions, pleasure outings during the recess of the League each day will be the greatest in the history of the organization. The League will bring to the city some of the most prominent men and women of the race from all parts of the country, and an opportunity will be given to note the progress made by the race during the past half century. Most of the Chicago people have arranged their vacations so as to assist in giving the delegates and visitors a "good time" during the week of the League, and to hear the stories told of the struggles and hardships experienced by many of the men and women who have started from where slavery left the race, and worked to the top, putting in their efforts industry, honesty and reliability. While the National Negro Business League will be the center of attraction, yet there are several important features connected with the League which will share in interest, the National Negro Press Association; the National Negro Bank Association, and the National Negro Bankers' Association. These are part of the League, and will report the result of their meeting to the League during its session. The officers of the League who will be present are Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, president; Charles Banks, Mound Bayou, first vice president; J. E. Bush, Little Rock, Ark.; second vice president; S. G.

W. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry Medical College, stated that Dr. Boyd had been on the faculty for twenty-nine consecutive years. In his plain, straightforward, unassuming way, he wound up by saying there were three things he desired the young men to emulate in Dr. Boyd: first, he was a man of good habits, being a total abstainer from tobacco and liquor. Second, he was a worker among the poor, never being too busy or tired to go out and perform the act of the good Samaritan. Third, he was a god son, evidently carrying out that injunction, "Honor thy father and thy mother," etc. MRS. SAUNDERS, GRAND WORTHY COUNSELLOR It is stated that at the action of a special meeting called by the members of the Grand Court after the funeral of Dr. R. F.

ROBERT FULTON BOYD CROSSES THE BAR. rushing in my door and as I greeted him expecting to receive his usual happy reply, I noticed a cloud was over his face. I asked him what was the matter and he said I want you to so and see mother, she is paralyzed. And there he broke down and wept like a baby. She will miss his tender care, for he loved her dearly. And I would sound that note here today, if there are men here who are fol owing the same profession, who would attain the greatest success in the transaction of business, in the diagnosis of a case, and who are not following the example set by this man, call God back to your side. "Not wishing to take up much more of your time. I want to ask this congregation, the praying people who have confidence in God, in His immediate answer to prayer, and His ever-constant answer, pray for that mother out on that hill, that mother who is heart-broken. No mother has had a better boy, a boy that stood by her closer than Robert, Fulton Boyd stood by her. In her afflictions he was afflicted. "Now, men of the medical profession, I leave this word with you: You have lost a friend, one who was willing at all times to co-operate with you in the general advancement of your profession. Measure up well to the profession, to the calling; make it worthy of its great name and place in the world, and let everyone of us go from here asking yourself the question "what is my life?" It is one vapor; it is like a cloud. It is nothing. Before the morning sun arises it looks for an hour or two that day is going to be dark, but when the sun arises it dies and passes away as if it had never come, so does the life of Jesus brighten our lives. It is only 'breath. Then comes the end when each of us shall part I trust that Dr. Boyd met Him face to face and went across the Jordan." Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard Speaks. "Thirty-two years ago Dr. R. F. Boyd came to Nashville and commenced the study of medicine. We had just finished the only building of Meharry, and perhaps he was one of the first to occupy a room in that building. I came in close touch with Dr. Boyd, because I became better acquainted with those who attended the college at that time than in after years, because of the small number. He finished his course with credit to himself, graduating in 1882, and in the following year was chosen Assistant Professor of Chemistry; next year he was elected to the professorship of physiology, which position he held for ten years. Then he was elected to the professorship of genycology and clinical medicine, and ever since he has been connected with Meharry. He is one of the oldest members of the faculty. He was particularly interested in hospital work. His first step made in the Boyd building, next he, oc, p. in this work was in his office on Cherry street, and then in the Boyd building, next he purchased the building on Fourth avenue, South, and established Mercy Hospital, and for nection with HMeharrythaton shrub ten years he had the hospital in that building connected with Meharry. The work was successfully carried on. Great was the relief he gave to sufferers. He seemed to be especially adapted to hospital work. In 1887 he graduated in dentistry. His work here as a physician, you know. There are three things I want to impress upon you this morning worthy of imitation in his life. "Lives of great men all remind us, That we can make our lives better." And departing, leave behind us, Footprints in the sands of time." "Footprints that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main; A forelorn shipwrecked brother Seeing, may take heart again." "The first is that that he was a man of good habits. He never touched an intoxicating drink, and it was only with difficulty that he could be persuaded to take it when it was necessary. He never touched tobacco in any form. The second thing I want to emphasize is the amount of work he did over on Cherry for the suffering brethren of Nashville. I suppose there are individuals here who can testify to the good he has done. There are some doctors who will say when called before entering upon your case: "Well, have you any mon- ey?" Dr. Boyd did not ask that question, and there are individuals who can testify to that. May God grant the he may have many followers. "The third and last is that he was a good son. You know there are some sons when they get up a little in life and attain some honor and distinction who forget the old father and mother at home who cared for them in youth and made it possible for them to have thus arisen. They say: "Oh well, some time ago I could afford to do so and so, but it wouldn't do now; in these advanced times, and you are so old-timy, etc." Put Dr. Boyd did not say that to his mother. He said: "Mother, I will stand by you to the last; I will do all I can to help you." And he did. May the God of all grace sustain her in this hour of trial and sorrow; and may the example of the man whose remains we are now about to inter be everlastingly stamped upon the characters of all." Dr. C. V. Roman Represents the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company. "On an occasion like this when our emotions try to get the advantage of our reason it is very difficult to say and do the proper thing. I am not a very old man, but am in the class we call middle life. If you take thirty years out of that you take a very large part of it. For nearly thirty years I have known Dr. G. F. Boyd, and in that thirty years cannot recall any time when a man has fallen out of the ranks that has left so large a place to be filled. It is not a matter of flattery, or the hyperbole of exaggeration, but I cannot recall a death that has left so wide a breach in the ranks. "It it seems the very irony of fate that a man with the medical knowledge and ability of Dr Boyd should have died with such an ordinary disease as acute indigestion. But he has gone, and he has left a vacancy in many places. The one that I am to speak about I don't know where to find a man to fill it. When the Board of Directors of the People's Savings Bank holds its next meeting, they will have before them a very, very serious question. It is a sad thing that we mourn his death. My pen was scarcely dry from writing an article on the awful deathrate among men in middle life when the message came to me of his death. We hope his place will be filled." Hon. Noah Cooer Paid a High Tribute to the Deceased. "Though I come with griefstricken heart. I am glad to be here at this hour to speak a word of praise in memory of my brother. I began my address by calling you ladies and gentlemen. I feel that you have complimented yourselves by being here on this occasion to pay tribute to the memory of this man. It speaks well for the future of the young men and women who are coming to the front. While this occasion is very sad, it is one of great rejoicing. This coffin here reminds us that we are a1 on a funeral march to the grave. If you are a carpenter, some day you will drive your last nail; if a bricklayer, some day you will lay your last brick; if a washerwoman, some day you will put your arms in the tub for the last time; if a ditch digger, some day you will dig your last ditch; if you are a lawyer, some day your last speech; if you are a doctor, healing diseases, giving sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and almost raising the dead, some day you will make your last diagnosis. So today let us remember that it is our business to be ready to approach our grave as readily as a man lays down to a pleasant dream. I recall when I went to the great city of Washington and walked into the Congressional Library, that most beautiful and magnificent building in the world, and read the inscriptions placed there for young men and women to read, among them I remember this one taken from the Bible: "What doth the Lord require of thee, O man! but to do justice to the love of morals and to the love man and God?" All men nearly all the time want to do right. When Dr. Boyd established a hospital out there on Cherry street he named it "Mercy." That was the darling of his heart, that his life and deeds might represent the mercy of the God it had pleased him so well to serve. "Dr. Boyd was not only one of the greatest men Nashville has produced, but one of the greatest that America has ever produced. I think I can speak the truth when I say that. His life not only touched Nashville, but it touched the nation and through the nation the world. And after his ashes shall have been gathered together his name and fame will illuminate and illustrate the virtues that every boy and girl should honor in life. "But he is gone, as the earth may fall, and the flowers may fade and pass away; but there is no death. Though Dr. Boyd's hands are folded in peace today, he lives in my heart and in yours. I have known him in a great many situations, in court and without, and never has he shown a hatred except for what was wrong, and never any love except for what was right. He was a righteous man who trusted in his God. The need of the young man today, black or white, is more trust in the God that has made him. The noblest thing that can be said is: "I am a Christian." We are in the presence of a Christian gentleman's remains, and I urge you all to pray more and trust in God more. When I think of him today I think everyone of us should join in that sweet old hymn so when we come to die we can say: While the billows near me rol, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Savior hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; Oh, receive my soul at last.

When in the hour of sadness, sorrow and loneliness all of Job's beloved children had been swept away, I see the old man rise up in all sorrow, with his eyes streaming with tears, and ask: "If a man dies shall he live again?" and then Job said: "All the days of my appointed time will I wait until my change comes." The one great lesson that we ought to learn is that he remembered his Creator in the days of his youth; and as a Christian he dedicated all that he was to Christ. He was one of those rare characters and we need more and more of that kind in our race, who get the highest and most powerful education of the heart, head and hand, and who consecrate it all to the services of mankind. Dr. Boyd had that way of making us all feel that he was a personal friend of ours. You found at once a friend in him and your heart at once went out to his heart. That is the reason we have gathered here to pay this tribute of respect to him. We need that kind of educated men and women in our midst who will lay themselves on the altar for their people. "It was only a few days ago when I met a white woman on the streets seemingly deeply interested in the poor people of her race and our race. She said: "I know a poor colored woman not able to work, nobody to care for her, nobody to see after her, who needs the attention of a physician, some medicine, needs her prescription filled after the doctor prescribes. I wondered who would do this without pay." A few hours after we parted, she telephoned me and said: "I have just seen Dr. R. F. Boyd, and although he is making preparations to go to the Grand Lodge, he has suspended preparations long enough, and has gone at once to that woman's house." That is why we loved Dr. Boyd. I am sure we feel sorry for his dear mother. They were always as companions to each other. I was thinking about the meeting over yonder, when mother's afflictions are over; what a joy it will be when Dr. Boyd shall have seen the Father, Creator and Maker of us all. When the gates to heaven's bright city shall stand ajar, and mother and son shall meet. God bless us all." Tribute of Dr. R. H. Boyd. "My friends, this is not time for talk. I have been too shocked ever since the news reached me of the death of my associate, brother and friend to express my feeling. When Rome lost one of its greatest leaders, and statesmen said: "We have not come to praise him, but to bury him." We have lost one of our great men, but we are not simply here to bury him; we are here to unveil a monument he has built for himself in the hearts of his fellowmen among whom he lived. I might add here, when I look at all these flowers I see the esteem in which he was held. Not only these flowers, but if every individual for whom Dr. Boyd did some personal good or act of kindness, relief or consolation would come here and cast just one flower, this casket would be buried in a bed of flowers. The gathering here proves that he built a monument that will stand longer than monuments of stone or marble." Dr. G. H. Gandy Represents the Board of Trade. "We come to commemorate the death of a great man. He was a professional and business man, and he was a Christian man; a thing that we hardly ever see, as a rule. He looked fter the business as well as the professional side. He was an organizer of men. He had a peculiar way of doing things. I don't think there is a man living who has been more instrumental in getting men together. He took advantage of the opportunity to become a citi- Phones, Main 2323 and 2324 zen, refined, educated; the opportunity to rise and make a mark in the world. "Now, as to the Board of Trade. This thing was magnified in Dr. Boyd's mind. He called the professional', business and laymen to come together on a common basis, and he organized the Negro Board of Trade to help bring Nashville, and all that tends to make Nashville better, up to the required standard. This last organization was the pride and glory of his life. And it was the last organization he presided over." Prof. W. S. Thompson Representing the Knights of Pythias. "Friends: We will not attempt to deliver an address. We desire simply to express along with others who have spoken, our feeling and our devotion to our late brother, Dr. Robert Fulton Boyd. Just as has been said concerning the lively inspiration put into everything to which he laid his hand, just so we in our organization can testify to the same spirit. It was the particular, as he often said, arousement in him that caused the good work we have over the state of Tennessee; over $21,000 in our Endowment fund all through the assistance, inspiration and strong character, continued devotion, his continued battling on the front line as indicated by this our brother. In the early 60's we had only three lodges in this state, and in those three lodges we were less than one hundred members, but now our numbers are nearly 250, over ten thousand. That did not come about only as a result of the individual effort put forth by each member, but wherever Dr. Boyd laid his hand there sprung a stream of Pythianism which was a continual light beckoning others to follow, and now we have an organization; a monument which shall ever last." Dr. Sterrs of Decatur, Ala., Representing the Supreme Grand Lodge I. O. I. 'Sisters and Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen: "It is indeed a difficult task to crown the bodies which I represent in just five minutes. When I are arrived in your city I was informed that I was to represent the Grand and Supreme Lodges I. O. I. of Alabama, and Grand Lodge of Mississippi pi and others. Our dear brother here before us was a representative of that noble fraternity that has done so much to shape the destiny of many. How true it is that each and every one of us is nearer to God today than a day or so ago. I was thinking how delightful it should have been, if it were possible for us the members of the I. O. I. to have reserved this life and sacrificed some other that was not near so important; but God knows best what to take and what to leave. Each day of our lives, no matter how we may battle against it, we are pushing nearer and nearer to the mouth of an open pulsher. The news of the death of the brother was a shock to us as was the shock to the helpless creatures on board that great vessel, the Titanic, when amid the soft, and sweet strains of "Nearer my God to thoe" hundreds of lives were suddenly doomed to a watery grave. Yes, when we heard that Dr. Boyd was dead we were shocked, stunned, drunk with emotion, and we got hold of the staff of hope that we shall see him in the land above. Supreme Master here on earth gone to see the Supreme Master above, Hadley. Methinks it was kind of a make-up. At the age of 17 he came into this grand order. It mattered not how responsibilities came, nor how business pressed upon him, he could always look and see that path that led up to heaven. The I. O. I. can hope to join him if we walk in the footprints of the Master." NASHVILLE GLOBE.

FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1912. Dr. R. F. Boyd. A high tribute was paid to a deceased citizen at Ryman Auditorium last Monday morning, when fully ten thousand people assembled in that spacious building and congregated on the streets to witness the funeral services of Dr. Robert Fulton Boyd. The Auditorium has a seating capacity of six thousand. The building was crowded and several hundred were standing, and in addition to this thousands made no effort to gain an entrance, but remained outside in orderly assemblage out of respect to this great man. Dr. Boyd was truly a great character. Over thirty-four years ago he came to Nashville with a determination to fit himself for life. He entered Central Tennessee College and remained there until he had completed the literary course and several courses in the medical departments of Meharry, and to use the words of Bishop Tyree, who delivered the funeralation, "Dr. Boyd used all of the education he acquired." He was known in Nashville first as a school teacher, but his greatest work was in the capacity of a practicing physician. He was an earnest worker and wherever he went he made lasting friends. His amicable disposition made you know him as soon as you met him and the longer you knew him the more you were compelled to admire him for his big-heartedness. He acquired considerable wealth, but we do not believe it would be an exaggeration to say that he gave to others more than he kept for himself. Many a poor person when suffering with disease or stricken with poverty have found in Dr. Boyd a friend to relieve their pain and wants. It was his custom to do unto others as he would be done by, and his whole life was one full of the spirit of giving without asking in return. He was never as much concerned about collecting a bill as he was about relieving the suffering of someone. For that reason he was always busy. Most of the time he kept several changes of horses that he might be able to give the very best service to his patients. Dr. Boyd had a practice sufficient to engage every minute of his time, but as busy as he was he always reserved sufficient time and energy to devote to other pursuits, and so he was found in the church and in the lodge, in the social circle, and in business. He was one man that success did not spoil. When he was taken sick on last Saturday morning he was not thinking about death, but of what he could do for humanity, and it is believed by many that he shortened his time by hard and incessant labor. But the nature of the man compels those who knew him best to believe that he died better satisfied than he would have had he been stingy with his money, and his time and had lived only for Dr. Boyd No enterprise has been started in Nashville for the last twenty-five years that did not receive the hearty support of this great man. He could see a need and he had the courage to put forth his best efforts that it might be consummated. But Dr. R. F. Boyd is no more. He has been taken from his labors to reap his reward. Peace be to his ashes. He dealt with men as a man. If he differed he differed honestly. His ambitions had no bound, but he was void of selfishness, and now we come to balance his account and the expression of the people who turned out to pay their last respects to this man was an evidence that the right side of his ledger was in splendid condition. He was not a perfect man, but the grandeur of his life stands out in his philanthropic spirit that made him an honorable and worthy citizen, a benefactor in the broadest sense. Those men who differed with him in public affairs must concede that his efforts for humanity and his attainments as a citizen made him worthy of the highest respect of all. The poor and unfortunate loved him devotedly, for they it was for whom he lived. Men differ, but their differing does not mean that they do not recognize the good qualities in each other, and when such a tribute is paid to a deceased as was paid to Dr. R. F. Boyd last Monday it is not superficial but a balancing of accounts, and when it is evidenced that enough good was done by the deceased to balance the scales on the side of justice we gladly hold it up and rejoice that another one of our fellowmen has run the race of life successfully. Negroes and Prohibition. Negroes and Promotion. Some of the candidates who are before the people in Tennessee for the Democratic nomination for Governor have found cause to advance a remedy for the settlement of the prohibition muddle in Tennessee, and it has been suggested by some that the General Assembly of the state pass a law that the prohibition question be settled by the white voters. The suggestion was made on the presumption that a large majority of the Negro voters of this state are against prohibition. It has been charged by some on different occasions that all Negroes prize a bottle of whiskey higher than they do their families. Those men who make these flagrant statements lose sight of the fact that in the last state election the Negro vote as far as cou'd be calculated, was about evenly divided on the whiskey question, or in other words, about fifty per cent. of the Negro vote was was for the Democratic ticket, which opposed the state-wide prohibition law, and the other fifty per cent, was cast for the Fusionists that favored the state-wide law. But to come down to actual facts, there is not a man in the state who can truthfully say he knows how many Negroes in Tennessee would vote for or against the present prohibition law. It is a very unfair attitude that is assumed by some in regard to the Negro and whiskey. It is unmany and inappreciative of those people who were elected by the Negro vote to now turn and attempt to stab them in the face in the hope to gain a few votes. Tennessee may some day pass a law that the whiskey question be settled by the white voters, but when they do, it will be an unconstitutional act; for every man in Tennessee who measures up to the requirements, is entitled to vote on all questions, and no man who advocates to the contrary should be entrusted with the affairs of this great state. The prohibition trouble is a party trouble and is the result of a row in the Democratic party. The split was caused by that very question. The Negro had nothing whatever to do with the split; but in sizing up the factions there was a large number who chose the regular Democratic party as the best qualified to govern the state. We contend that they had a perfect right to do that. There were others who believed that the Fusionist party advocated the best principles of government. They had a perfect right to their belinef. It must be admitted that the man who thinks is a better citizen than a man who can be led about by the politicians of any party. Tennessee Negroes are thinking and they are voting intelligently. This, the leading men of all parties in Tennessee are compelled to admit, and they do admit it, and they welcome the spirit that is exhibited by the Negro citizens of this commonwealth. Who does not decide for himself how he should vote is worthy of the franchise. It has been charged for many years that the Negroes of this state were the chattel of the Republican party, and now, having reached the stage of intelligence where he can think for himself and vote accordingly, there are some who are so unkind, and who are willing in order to achieve a personal ambition, to brand the Negro as a menace to the welfare of the state. Such men are not broad enough to hold any office. The Negro is just as well qualified to vote on the whiskey question as they are to vote on any other question. They understand it thoroughly and are fully able to exercise good judgment in settling this annoying problem. The Third Party. The Progressive or Third Party's gathering recruits in Tennessee daily. Plans are on foot to hold a State Convention on the 2nd of August and elect delegates to the National Convention which is to convene in Chicago August 5th. This new movement is causing the leaders NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1912 A. B. C. BERRY CANNON. Prop of both the Republican and Democratic party much concern. It was thought that Tennessee would refuse to affiliate with the Third Party movement, but those who had that opinion must 'ay it aside, for the new party is strong in every section of the state, which means that it is finding recruits from both parties. The people are crying for relief, and if the Progressive Party sticks to the principles enunciated by their great leader, Col. Roosevelt, the working men everywhere will become interested and will at least give the new movement serious consideration. Three Negroes have entered the race for magistrate in the election to be held Thursday, August 1st. All of them cannot be elected. And since that is the case, would it not be well to take one of them and unite to put him over? These are skirmishing days among the politicians. The weather is a great aid in the cause. RESOLUTIONS OF QUEEN FESTHER COURTS L O L ESTHER COURTS I. O. I. Whereas, our heavenly Father, who doeth all things well has suddenly summoned our esteemed and beloved brother, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Supreme Grand Master of the Independent Order of Immaculates, to lay his life's cares and burdens down for the grander and more glorious existence of the future life. Therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Dr. Robert Fulton Boyd this order has lost a most valuable friend and an active member—one who was always faithful in the discharge of his duty. He was ever ready to lend a helping hand and a sympathetic word to the needy of our order which he loved. His life as a friend was sincere and as a citizen was influential for good to all who came in contact with him. Resolved. That while we realize in death as well as life is a part of God's great plan and too that it is not the end of one's existence, yet his departure causes us the deepest sorrow and regret. Resolved. That while we realize that this order be extended to the sorrowing mother and sister in the sad hour of the their grief and oss. Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of our order and a copy be sent to the family, also to the Nashville Globe for publication. Respectfully submitted, J. H. SLATER. S. G. M. MRS. M. B. LEWIS, S. Treasurer. MRS. IRENE DOWELL, D. Deputy. MRS. S. J. CARTER. End. Secretary. When R. F. Boy closed his eyes in that eternal sleep that must sooner or later come to us all, the curtain was rung down on one of the greatest lives of our day and time. Some men die of brokenheartedness—a lack of realization of some high ideal or a sad diapointment as to a fruition of some cherished hope. But Boyd was a victim of his own big-heartedness—an insatiable desire on the one hand to bring cheer and sunshine and happiness into the life of a friend or a friend's friend; on the other to feel another's woe and to reach down and raise the unfortunate man or woman struggling as he had struggled to rise above conditions and environments into places of usefulness and honor. All men want friends, but few are willing to contribute the love, the patience, the sacrifice to make them, as Boyd did. That's why there will be no one to fill his niche in this comunity, made vacant by his death. There was that peculiar something in his character that drew men to him and caused them involuntarily to feel that there was in his life a chord that echoed in sympathy and in consonance with their distresses and misfortunes. It is indeed sad that to some of us behind he could not bequeath that element of his character that brought him into close communion with mankind in general—the high, the low, the rich, the poor. It's not unkind to the living to say that the death of no other man could have made sad such a large number of people, limited to no particular rank or station in life. R. Fulton Boyd was a commoner in the truest sense of the word. The lodge, the church, the race will seriously feel his going. KNIGHT TEMPLARS Dress Parade and Competitive Drill Greenwood Park Sunday and Monday AUGUST 4th and 5th, 1912 Admission - 10c THE MAN OF THE HOUR. H. WAYMAN WILKERSON. A Signal Honor Bestowed Upon a Worthy Memphian. The progressive and race-loving citizens of Tennessee take great pride in the signal honor that was conferred upon one of their fellow citizens, Mr. H. Wayman Wilkerson, of Memphis, who was recently elected and elevated O M. B. S. H WAYMAN WILKERSON. Vice President Fraternal Savings Wilkerson & Scott Undertaking Co., Endowment Treasurer of the Knights der in the State, with a membership than $30,000, and doing an annual bu to the exa'ted office of Grand Endowment Treasurer of the Knights of Pythias for the jurisdiction of Tennessee. Mr. Wilkerson is an adopted son of Tennessee, but his many friends and admirers take the same pride and admirers take the same pride and gratification in the many successes that he has gained and the many honors that he has merited just; as if he were a native son, and they salute him with the hope that many other honors of similar degree may grace his official experience. A Wizard in the Domain of Finance. That the Pythian Fraternity of the state of Tennessee made no mistake in elevating Mr. Wilkerson to the most responsible position in its gift is the consensus of opinion of all men who are accustomed with his remarkable financial and business ability. He is not an unknown quantity in the financial affairs of the race; on the contrary, he is recognized far and near as one of the most sagacious business men and one of the ablest financiers that the race has produced in the last decade. In a business and financial way he has succeeded as have very few men of the race, and already his genius for finance has placed him upon a pedestal that only the most extraordinary ability will ever be able to reach. Able, farsighted, and sagacious as have been some of the other distinguished men in the ranks of the Knights of Pythias upon whose shoulders this same honor has fallen, yet the many admirers of Mr --- Wilkerson do not believe that the administration of any one of his predecessors will rival that of the present incumbent in substantial and lasting results. If the whole state of Tennessee had been examined with the utmost care there could not have been found a man more peculiarly adapted to the exacting and responsible duties of this office than the able financier who holds as in the hollow of his hands the destiny of so many widows and orphans of the race. 2 Bank & Trust Co.; President Scott of Memphis, Tenn. recently elected of Pythias, the largest Fraternal Or of 10,000, a mortuary fund of more stress of more than $150,000. Has Known Nothing but Success. A knowledge of the future can be gained only from the experiences of the past. This is a truism that all men will accept without discussion. That the present incumbent will give to the Pythian fraternity of the state of Tennessee an administration of its endowment treasuryship of which it will be proud ought to go without question, for Mr. W. Klkerson has never scored a failure in any business capacity. In all of his business ventures, both in the North and in the South, he has known nothing but success. To every business enterprise with which he is connected he has brought an active and sagacious mind, long experience, aggressiveness, enthusiasm, reliability, honesty, and all of the indomitable qualities that guarantee success. He has a clear-seeing mind, a ready comprehension of consequences, and an unfaltering confidence in himself. He has a faith in himself and confidence in the integrity of the Negro race. He is an optimist in everything that affects the Negro race. He is peculiarly constructive in tendency and has the facility of succeeding where many others would ignominiously fail. His mind never thinks of failure in any worthy enterprise, and largely for this reason he has scored an unqualified success in everything that he has undertaken. He is an Experienced Banker.

Mr. Wilkerson combines in his character the calm and unfaltering judgment of the banker and the careful activities of the trained business man. He is optimistic as a business man, but his optimism is safeguarded by the fifth-wheel of business discretion. It takes a wise man to handle and successfully manipulate affairs with other people's money. In this respect, Mr. Wilkerson is no experiment, or he has been tried in the crucible and found to be pure gold. He was one of the pioneer bankers of the race in the city of Memphis, Tenn. Having been one of the promoters and founders of the first Negro bank in Memphis, he subsequently helped to organize and put in operation the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company of the same city, and is now one of its most valued officials. His general knowledge of finance and business has made his services invaluable to the success of this well-known financial enterprise and the success that the bank has merited is a tribute alike to his genius as well as the genius and fidelity of his colleagues. The Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company is not a wildate banking institution; on the contrary, it is a reputable and reliable business institution, whose ambition is to get just as close as possible to the people in order to supply and alleviate their wants in a legitimate manner. This bank is not an affair hedged in by a divinity of exclusiveness and red tape, but it is the bank of the masses of people; it is a bank where the humblest citizen with proper security is put on parity with any other man. Mr. Wilkerson's financial genius has helped to make the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company of Memphis an ornament as well as a necessity to the business welfare of the race. A Funeral Director and Embalmer. Mr. Wilkerson is president of the Scott-Wilkerson Undertaking Company of Memphis, Tenn., which is without doubt one of the leading funeral directories of the South. In excellence of equipment, in sagacity of management, in punctilious observance of all the forms of up-to-date obsequies, and in all the combined routine of the undertaking business, this splendid company has hardly an equal in the United States. Less than ten years of age, the growth of this company has been so remarkable that it staggers belief. It has come to the front by beams and bounds, until it is at the van of similar business enterprises of the race in the city of Memphis. The ambition of the company has ever been to excel in every essential feature, whether that feature be equipment, goods or service. The company has a corps of the best embalmers known to the profession. It has an equipment that cannot be surpassed in the country. The company believes in being up-to-date in everything and the same degree of high-class modernity cannot be found in any other similar establishment in the city of Memphis, if at all in the South. This is an electric age, and this progressive and enterprising company has endeavored to be in harmony with this age. It has a dual equipment in every department of its delivery system. It has auto ambulances, auto dead wagons and auto touring cars. Also it has similar equipments with horses attached. The company has been liberal nearly to extravagance in trying to provide for its patrons and the public at large the most satisfactory equipment and service commensurate with moderate cost. There has always been inscribed on the company's banners its favorite motto: "A maximum of service for a minimum of cost," and the company will endeavor to live up to this motto, both in the letter and in the spirit.

The Majestic Theatre ON CEDAR STREET Chief Grand Treasurer of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. In the year of 1909 Mr. Wilkerson was elected and elevated to the exalted office of Chief Grand Treasurer of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of the Tennessee jurisdiction. That his administration of this important office is eminent y satisfactory is evidenced by the fact that during his incumbency in this position he has been similarly honored by another great fraternity, the Knights of Pythias of the same state. Filling at the same time the dual position of grand treasurer of two great fraternities, Mr. Wilkerson is an unusually honored citizen. These exalted honors are tribute alike to his character as a man and his ability as an exponent of business life. Either of these two official positions would be a signal honor for any citizen, but when they are both monopolized by one man, the honor seems almost unparalleled. Mr. Wilkerson has the ability to give perfect satisfaction in both places, for he possesses extraordinary capacity for work and he is a regular thirty-third degree member of the ancient and honorable order of hustlers. He will make things hum financially for both orders and it is the opinion of his friends that his administration in both fraternities will be a pronounced and unqualified success. A Business Man, but Knows the Game of Politics. Mr. Wilkerson is first, last and all the time a business man, and the ideal like for him is one that involves the intricacies and hurly burly of business activity. By nature he is a human dynamo of energy, and his restless, energetic spirit is never satisfied unless things around him are being done. But it has been the lot of Mr. Wilkerson to play the game of politics in which he demonstrated to his political opponents that he was no insignificant competitor. The fact is Mr. Wilkerson cut his political eye teeth away in the state of Illinois, where he successfully played the game of politics for several years. His mastery of the political game caused his appointment to a deputyship in the sheriff's office in Decatur, Ill., for four years. He is not a politician from choice, but whenever he sees the rights of his race in jeopardy, whether in business life or in politics, he will be seen battling for whatever he believes to be the welfare of the community and the Negro race. He knows the game of politics from alpha to omega, and may be depended upon to do his whole duty for the race, whatever may be the crisis. However, Mr. Wilkerson is not in politics for the loaves and fishes. He takes a practical view of the duty of every American citizen to conserve the public welfare and if he can do aught in the great scheme of public conservation for the race, his services are at the command of his people. A Popular Citizen and Churchman. Mr. H. Wayman Wilkerson is one of the most popular citizens of Tennessee, and if one should judge by the number of positions of trust and responsibility that are filled by him, he is probably the most popular race representative in the state. He is not a recluse or a hermit, but he comes in direct touch with the people of his community in a multitude of different ways. He is prominently connected with lodgedom; he is well known in a social capacity; he is a representative club worker, and he is a liberal-giving churchman.

The fu- neral services that were held at the ‘Auditorium last Monday made the minds run back to three notable fu- nerals, Among these was that of the late Rey. Nelson G. Merry, who was for many years pastor of the Spruce Street Baptist Church. Nashville knew him as Father Merry. It was thought at the time he was laid to rest {t would be impossible for a greater outpouring of the people to take place, It was many years ago [and up to that time it was regarded ‘as the most remarkable as well as ‘the most largely attended in the his tory of the city. Nearly a quarter of fa century has elapsed stnce then.

M, TOWNSEND, A. M., CASHIER PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BANK. “Our institution will hardly be able to replace the vacancy caused by the death of our President, Dr. R. F. Boyd. Personally 1 have known Dr. Boyd for a number of years. I have followed him closely in the business as well as in the professional world. Our friendship was known tp be very close, and the very news of the death gave’me a shock such as I have never had before. Our professional as well as our business life in Nashville will not soon get over this sudden taking sot ONE OF THE CITY'S FIRST CITIZENS PASSES AWAY. See ee ee ane eee ne ‘The intelligence that went forth at an early hour this morning of the death of Dr. R. F. Boyd, who was about the city on yesterday in appa- rently good health pursuing his pro- fessional duties as usual, and who at- tended until a late hour last evening ‘a session of the Board of Trade, was ‘so unexpected as to be almost unbe- Hevable,, yet it is true, Every- where, for the news spread rapidly, people spoke of his death in tone and manner that indicated their respect for the deceased, who was in life to ‘every one who deserved his help and sympathy, a friend and brother, Dr, Boyd was pre-eminently a man ‘of the people and this was demon- strated at all times when their in- terests were in the balances. It was at those times that his great heart would go out to them and he rose to the level of emergencies and the fulness of effective action, The part he has played in the civic betterment of this eity in which he had cast his Vife’s lot proclaims him a_ public-spir- ited man and one of its first citizens. COUNCILMAN HARRIS’ | STATE MENT. ‘The whole city of Nashviie, was shocked at the sad intelligence of the very sudden death of Dr, R. F, Boyd. Perhaps no man was more widely Known and more univereally loved than Dr, Boyd. His sudden taking away occasioned a sad and irrepara- ble loss to the community, to the ‘city, to the state and to the race with which he was identified 8. P. HARRIS, Couneiiman of Third Ward | —— STATEMENT FROM REV. PRES- TON TAYLOR. | About thirty years ago Dr. Boyd ‘had me as his first patient. I was ‘quite sick, heving just finished ‘schoo!, I fell into his hands and |was treated to a greet advantage. |My case was a very serious one, a to that which Dr. Boyd died with. He relieved me very prompt. jly. Twas then pastor of the Gay |Street Christian Church, and public iy made statements of the benefit that I received from his treatment, and introduced him to our congrege tion, From that time on he hat deen a very successful practitioner in this city, Dr. Boyd's death is 4 sovere shock to the city of Nashville as he was looked upon as a great member of the race. STATEMENT FROM DR. R. H. BoYD. Dr. R. H. Boyd, when seen by @ Globe reporter a few minutes after the news was spread that Dr. R. F. Boyd had passed away at $:50 this morning, said: “I am too shocked over the sad news to make an in- te ligent statement, 1 can only say that I haye been acquainted with Dr. R. F. Boyd about twenty-three years, the last sixteen of which 1 have been intimately acquainted and closely associated with him. 1 was associated with him, first, in the People’s Drug Store, second, in the Mercy Hospital, and third, in the One Cent Savizgs Bank, He has treated my family as a physician and in al of this I have found him very efficient. About the most I couid say ts that Nashvilie bas lost one of iis most helpful citizens, the society fa great benefactor and the’ race in ‘general bas lost one of its best friends, Dr. Boyd iive* for others. He wag untiring in his efforts both as a physician and a phi anthropist. Our association and business rela tons have a ways been of the most agreeable kind. I feel that his place in the communiy can hardly be ..! ed.” EXPRESSIONS FROM THE PEO- PLE. “When I first came to Nashvillg, twenty years ago, Dr. R. F, Boyd was one of the first inen who gave me a cordial welcome in the city. He was constant attendant at my church, my people loved him, Often he was seen in the pew and in the Sunday- school room. The larger portion ot my congregation was his patients, I regarded Dr, Boyd as one of the most energetic, wideawake, thorough-going business ‘inien of the city.” | _FROM MR. A. N. JOHNSON. “Upon arriving In Nashville a few years ago for the purpose of looking lover the field for a place to locate, ‘it was my gocd fortune to meet Dr. R. F. Boyd, His sterling qualities, his frank manner of expressing him- self, his great business foresight and his keen insight to affairs that go to make up the business world, drew me to him more foreibly than anything else, Since my residence in Nash- villé, we have been closely associated in many ways, His death was a {shock to me, and I feel sure that | the entire clly, the state and the na: | tion will not soon get over the death that has so recently removed one of [Nashville's most progressive men.” | than De MURSARD. “Ever since the establishment of Delany Medieal College, Dr. RP. Boyd has been associated with me. I have mown Mm ever since he was a young man, No truer friend to his people, ne bigger heart, no man with greater purposes in view, bas ever lived im this city.» I have always ad- mired Dr. Boyd, He lived for his people, He was a benefactor.” FROM HENRY A. BOYD. T could not believe my own ears, ret even efter 1 had called over the phone nd had heard from the physl- Gian who attended him, that Dr. Boyd was dead, as on Thursday night when he called at my residence to take me and t fandly for a drive ix his ato, so was tne picture of health.’ But God ‘in his alwise mercy only knows when we are to go. J have known Dr. Boyd for a number of years, We were closely associated. 1 had always found him a straightforward, earnest worker. Our business transactions generally threw us in touch with each other, as he was often regarded as my brother, and sometimes the brother of my father. The Boyd fam- ilies were closely allied. His loss 1s irreparable.” ee K PHYSICIAN, BUT A BENEFAC. TOR_FROM DR. N.H. PIUS. Mao ES ee ieee ek ey ae ee ‘That Dr, Boyd was a real physician, embodying in full measure the ele- ments that made for success’ in his chosen profession, is a fact that will be readily attested to by all who have been under his care as a patient for any length of time, He indeed had a splendid knowledge of the sci ence of medicine and was always in- ‘sistant upon a selentific treatment of his cases. But it was as a humant- tarlan that he stood out with his pa- tients, ‘Those whom he attended were sure of his interest, and _sympathy 'whatever their station. Sometimes this was evidenced by wholesome ad- ‘vice as to the care of health and the concerning of one’s energies. (that. of which he never seemed to think for himself) and at other times words of cheer and hope to the discouraged. Again he always kept in view the important fact that there is a power above all, who shaped man’s destipy and to whom man should acknowledge snd pay homage, So his labors. wert not merely that of the cold and pro: fessional scientist, but he labored as man’s brother as he administered te his physical infirmities. Such a char acter is not only one of the world’s workers, but one of its benefactors Surely his works shall follow him. ee DR. R. F, BOYD. By W. S. Eltington. In the death of Dr. R, F. Boyd Noshville has lost one of her most honored sons, and the race one of its most trusted and most. faithful *eaders. As a physician and surgeon, Ds. Boyd was competent. sympathetic and very successful, He built up a large and grateful practice not only in Nashville, but all over the state and in adjoining states. As a business man, Dr. Boyd took hich rank. ‘The Mercy Hospital of which he was the founder and the generous supporter, and the Pcop’e’s ‘Savings Bank and ‘Trust Company 0 which he was president, are two 0 “many attestations of his business |ability. | As_a leader of secret fraternities |r. R. F, Boyd was very popular [having occupied some of the highes positions in the gift of secret orders | Asa friend to the poor, the mem ory of Dr. Boyd shines brightest. I bas seldom been our privilege { know a man of Dr. Boyd's education | wealth and social standing who wa: 0 universally and sincerely loved by ‘the laboring c:asses as he. These ‘poor people, grateful for kindnesses sown them in the hour of need, never failed to express their apprecia tion, They brought him flowers while he lived. They filled bis lite with sunshine and made him happy. As a Christian, Dr. Boyd was ap activ» member ‘of the A.M. E Church and faithtul in his attendance ‘upon the services thereof. He was very generous in his financial sup port of all phases of religious work (Continued on Page 2) ‘Truly his was a religion of good works, In this sad hour of bereave ment our greatest comfort is thal Dr. Boyd has gone to be with the blessed Savior who has promised: tc reward us according as our works shal be, ‘We shall sleep, but not forever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Bessed be the Lord that gave. —— AMIIGEMENTS.

The sudden death of Dr. R. F. Boyd spread a gloom over the colored population of our little city. Lamentations are heard everywhere. We hear them say, "A great man is gone, who will take his place?" He had a great and tedious task before him. So very much work on hand to do he seemed to have forgotten himself, and was living for the sake of others. In every movement to foster the cause of Christ and his race he would take the lad. God, in his all-wise providence, knew best; told him he had done enough, rest from labor, come and receive thy reward. His works and words will live long, his memory will be always precious to those who were associated with him in every walk of life. Miss Lula Hester is very low, Mrs. Headrix is very sick. Mrs. Lucy January died and was buried a few days ago. Funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church by Revs. W. W. Todd and P. A. Bedford. Mr. Wille McBill is on the sick list.
