Boyd, our former townsman: James T. Boyd is a native of New Orleans, LA, and in that historic old town, he was reared and received his early education. Removing with his parents to California 1878, he completed his education in that State and commenced the study of law. In 1890, he was admitted to the bar in California and immediately commenced the practice of his profession. Mr. Boyd first came to Reno in 1901 and became associated with A. N. Salisbury in the legal firm of Boyd & Salisbury. In the space of five years, he has become closely identified with the best interests of the city, county and State, and has numerous mining interests in the various new camps, important property interests in Reno, which he is improving and he represents as secretary more than twenty leading companies of the state. He is the attorney for the following large mercantile and financial institutions: The Bank of Nevada, the Nevada Mills Company, the McKissick estate, the Reno Brewing Company and more than thirty mining companies. Never blind to the duties of good citizenship, Mr. Boyd, at the last Democratic convention for State Senator, and his fitness for the office, to which he was elected, is apparent to all who know him.
