The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Ga., Friday, October 30, 1891 A Good Man Dies It is with deep regret that we have this week to chronicle the death of one of Pikes oldest and best men, Mr. Nathan Boyd, who lived a few miles south of here at Finchers church, at which place he had been a useful member for sixty years. Mr. Boyd lived to a ripe old age, being 85 years old. During his long life, he never drank a drop of whiskey, and for sixty years had not taken a dose of medicine of any kind.
