Obiturary-In 1891-Warren Co.,VA, Mr. William  Boyd, brother of Henry P. and Stephen D. Boyd, and father of Henry P. Jr., and A.O.Boyd, of Kansas City, MO, and the late William Boyd, banker of Decatur, Illinois.  Of the two surviving sons, only Henry Prather .Jr., was with his father in his last hours.  William was born October 20, 1805, and interred in the Boyd family graveyard near Browntown.             Obituary-Henry Prather Boyd died at the residence of Col.
