DANIEL MONTGOMERY BOYD was born in Rush Township, Northumber- land Co., Penn., within two miles of Danville on the "homestead farm." He is the son of John C. and Hannah M. BOYD. The former was a native of Chester County, Penn., and a son of Gen. John BOYD. He was a large owner of real estate, a prominent and active business man, and foremost in all the public enterprises of his day. His mother was a native of 
Danville, and daughter of Gen. Daniel Montgomery; both parents were of
Scotch-Irish descent. Daniel Montgomery is the second in a family of
eight children, seven of whom grew to maturity and attained prominence
in business and social life of their native place. D. Montgomery BOYD
acquired his education principally at the "Danville Academy," an 
institution founded and sustained largely by the liberality of Gen. 
William MONTGOMERY (one of his ancestors) and which held a rominent
position in the educational institutions of its day, being thoroughly
equipped and conducted by the best teachers. After completing his
education and spending a year or two at his home in the country, he went
with his father and family to Pottsville, Penn., where he, for a short
time, engaged in the purchase and sale of coal. Soon after he became
identified with the development of the Shamokin coal basin, in opening
mines and building railroads. Becoming interested personally in coal
lands, he with a partner opened one of the finest veins of coal and
built one of the first improved coal breakers in that country; afterward
became interested in mining and selling the same. In 1862 he was induced
to go to Havre-de-Grace, Md., for the purpose of selling and shipping
coal by vessel south, but later extended his operations with others to
shipment of coal to points south and west. He remained here until 1881,
when ill health forced him to retire from active business. He returned
to Danville, where he became interested in the leading enterprises of
the place, being president of the First National Bank, Danville, Penn.,
president of the board of trustees of the State Insane Hospital,
president of the Nail Manufacturing Company, and other interests. He has
always been willing to assist with his labor, influence and money, every
public enterprise of Danville, and is one of the few who enjoy the
fruits of his labor. He married in 1869, Miss Caroline A. BOCKINS, of
Germantown, Penn., who died in 1876. His second marriage took place in
1878, with Miss Ida COTTRELL, of Columbia,Penn.,  who has borne him two children: Daniel Montgomery (deceased) and Elsie M.  Mr BOYD and family are members of the Presbyterian Church, of which he is a trustee. His politics are Republican.
