(From Portrait and Biographical Album, Henry County, Iowa; Acme Publishing Company, Chicago, 1888, pp. 565-566)(PW) WILLIAM B. LUSK, a pioneer among pioneers, and one of the few who yet remain to tell the story of the hardships endured by the early settlers, lives on section 1, Tippecanoe Township. He is a native of Tennessee, born in Carter County, April 4, 1803, and is a son of John and Jane [Boyd] Lusk, both of whom are also natives of Tennessee. His paternal grandfather, Robert Lusk, was a native of Ireland, who came to this country when a mere boy and who served through the Revolutionary War. His maternal grandfather, William Boyd, was a native American and also served through the Revolutionary War. Both were early settlers in Tennessee.

Our snow is melting. We have a big thaw which has caused airplanes to be delayed and lots of accidents on the highways. It is typical for Iowa to have a big thaw around this time but we haven't had one in years so this is a surprise. Last night you couldn't see a foot in front of your face. I am in southern Iowa, almost in Missouri.

Even though five of our 6 States have had flooding in the last few weeks, we did manage snow last week before Christmas in 3 States. Hear in Queensland, some 30 Council areas are having flooding - with some have a records level for 60 years. While we stillhave 2 or 3 months of our wet season to go. So I think this means that our 10 years drought has finish, but people will have to now cleanout hte mud of some of the homes. Mike Boyd

Over the last week, our TV News has shown the snow storms from the Pacific Coast and now to New York City. And even a calf working on ice in OK. So I expect that quite a number of Boyds (along with many millions of others) have been snow bound for some of the time for these past few weeks. So please let the list know how you are going. I can see that some people that I meet on my visit in October might be able to get out of the house, but find hte hill a little to steep to get back home after getting the milk, etc Mike Boyd

Over the last few weeks, on our TV News we in Australia have been seeing reports of snow in England and Scotland - with Heathrow being closed etc. However, we have not heard through the Boyd list if any members of the Boyd Clan were having any difficulties. So, if you have been, or are, snowbound please let the list know. I would expect that the farm B&B that I stay at in Fenwick will have had to pour the milk down the drain on a few mornings because the Milk tanker could not get to their farm. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS
