Biography:
SAMUEL BOYD, deceased, was for forty-six years a member of the Appleton bar, engaged in the practice of law in this city. A native of England, where he was born November 8, 1836. In early childhood his parents moved to the United States and he was reared in and proved himself a devoted and creditable citizen of his adopted country. At the age of sixteen years he entered Lawrence University, at Appleton, Wisconsin, and was graduated in 1859 with the degree of A.B. and later received the degree of A.M. from the same institution. He pursued his law studies at Albany, New York, and was graduated from a law school there in May, 1861, in the following month coming to Appleton which continued to be his home thereafter until the close of a busy and useful life. He was never an aggressive politician but was a hearty supporter of measures universally conceded to be for the public good, and for years was elected by his fellow citizens to positions of responsibility and trust. He served for fourteen years as city attorney of Appleton, and was also justice of the peace, county judge and court commissioner. He was one of the solid men of the Appleton bar and in his earlier years was distinguished for his wit and readiness before a jury and also in the social life and public entertainments for which Appleton has won some fame. It was considered a treat to hear him as a toastmaster or after dinner speaker, all the more so as his wit was never tinctured with malice but easy flowing and exactly to the point. He was enriched through life with the friendship of both the great and the ordinary person and there were no more sincere mourners at his tomb than those who, as neighbors, had mingled with him in the incomings and outgoings of daily life. In his profession he had high ideals and lived up to them, and in his daily walk and conversation were shown the sterling characteristics which made him the worthy man he was. Judge Boyd was married September 15, 1864, at Rochester, New York, to Miss Cornelia S. Bowen, a native of Lyndonville, New York, and five children were born to them, the eldest daughter, Edna, dying in infancy; the second daughter, Bertha, is the wife of John King, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania; Florence Helen, the youngest daughter, married Curtis A. Bynum and lives at Fletcher, North Carolina; the two sons, Charles and Robert E., reside with their mother at Appleton. Judge Boyd died March 9, 1907, and his funeral was conducted under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, of which he had long been a member.

Samuel married Bowen, Cornelia S. 15 Sep 1864. Cornelia (daughter of Bowen, Unknown and Unknown, Unknownf) was born Abt Jul 1840, Lyndonville, New York; died Abt 1924. [Group Sheet]

Biography:
CHARLES S. BOYD, president and treasurer of the Appleton Coated Paper Company, at Appleton, Wisconsin, of which he was the organizer, was born at Appleton, November 27, 1871, and is a son of Samuel and Cornelia S. (Bowen) Boyd. Samuel Boyd was born in England, and was a son of Major Thomas Boyd, an officer in the British army, who came to America with his family and took up 1,000 acres of land on the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago, Calumet county, Wisconsin. This entire tract he put under cultivation. He had five sons and two daughters, all of whom accompanied him to America in the early '40s, and three of his sons were educated at Lawrence University, Samuel Boyd being a graduate of that institution. Charles S. Boyd graduated from Lawrence University in 1893, after which he attended the University of Chicago for one year, and then went into the line of business with which he has been identified ever since. His first work in this direction was with the Moser Paper Company, of Chicago, Illinois, and when he left that concern in 1900 he became traveling salesman for the Plover Paper Company of Stevens Point, and continued until October, 1905, when he organized the Charles S. Boyd Paper Company. He is still operating this plant. In 1907 he organized the Appleton Coated Paper Company. The officers of the former company are: Charles S. Boyd, president; Robert E. Boyd, vice-president, and John Lowe, secretary. This company was started in Kaukauna, but its machinery was moved to Appleton in 1910. It refinishes and markets various lines and grades of cover paper as its principal output. The Appleton Coated Paper Company was organized and incorporated May 7, 1907, with these officers: Charles S. Boyd, president and treasurer; Robert E. Boyd, vice-president, and Curtis Bynum, secretary. On account of failing health, Mr. Bynum sold his interest in 1909 and sought a milder climate, at which time John Lowe became secretary. This company first leased and then bought a factory formerly operated by a canning company, but later made improvements and additions that now give them 30,000 square feet of floor space. It manufactures coated papers and card boards, securing its raw stock from the local mills, and also uses an imported clay which is mined in England and is known as English coating clay. It is the only plant of its kind in Wisconsin and has a capacity of 12,000 pounds per day. The product is used for high grade catalogue and magazine work. The process of manufacture is very interesting. The paper when taken as raw stock is coated with a preparation of clay and casein, the latter a milk product, about 700 pounds of which is used daily. It is calculated that 100 pounds of milk will make three pounds of casein and it requires about 1,000 cows to supply the casein needed by this company. It is purchased from creameries. The company gives employment to sixty-five people. Shipments are made to the leading jobbing points in the Middle West.
