THE HISTORY OF NORTH WASHINGTON
WILLIAM BOYD - It is very interesting
to note in the case of such men
as Mr. Boyd, the labors performed
and the trying questions met the
Colville for the ingress of
civilization. As an instance of what is
required of the pioneer farmer,
when Mr. Boyd first came here, he
threshed seven hundred bushels
of grain with a flail. Such marked labor
as that indicates beyond doubt
the energy and stamina of the man of whom
we speak. But such was
only one of many trying things to be
accomplished, and suffice
it to say that in everything which presented
itself to be done or solved,
Mr.Boyd never failed to find a way. Then
again we notice that the pioneers
who stand so badly in need of the
various appliances for farming
are obliged to pay a double price for
everything, and Mr.Boyd well
remembers that the first farm wagon cost
him about one hundred and
fifty dollars. Provisions were also very high.
Sugar cost him twenty-five
cents a pound,and other things in proportion.
All these things but brought
forth in our subject the corresponding
increase of energy to overcome
and accomplished as he had planned. Dame
Fortune could not resist such
wooing as that and the result is as it
should be, that Mr.Boyd is
to-day,one of the leading and prosperous men
of northern Washington.
Reverting more particularly to detailed account
of his career we note first
that Mr. Boyd was born in Granville county,
Canada, on March 16, 1846,
the son of JOSEPH and MARY (MALONEY) BOYD,
natives of Ireland. The fact
that his parents came from the Emerald Isle,
opens to us the secret of
Mr. Boyd's energy and capability. They came to
America when young and located
in Canada where they remained for fifty-
five years; they went into
the wild forest and with their own hands built a
home, cleared a farm and became
wealthy. The paternal grandfather of our
subject was a great sportsman
and owned many fine horses and dogs in
Ireland. The humble little
frontier home in Canada that afterwards became
the headquarters of a prosperous
farmer, was the birthplace of seven children,
including our subject; MARY,
ELLEN, SARAH, THOMAS, TAMER, JOSEPH and
WILLIAM. Our subject
was reared and educated in his native place and continued
faithfully and industriously
assisting his parents until he reached the
age of twenty-eight; then
he came west to Colorado and afterwards mined
in Nevada, Idaho, Arizona,
New Mexico and California. He returned again
to Arizona and in 1887 came
to Stevens county, Wa. He first selected a farm
near Spokane but sold that
and came to his residence four miles south of
Chewelah where he has remained
ever since. Like his father in Canada, he
took hold with his hands,
staked out the wild farm, fenced it, built a
cabin and began bringing it
under tribute to crops. He now has two
hundred acres, nearly all
under cultivation, and about seventy-five
cattle. In November,
1885, Mr. Boyd married MISS ELIZABETH WADE, whose
parents were natives of Illinois,
she herself, being born in Cass county
of that state in 1853.
Four children have been born to this union: JOHN,
WILLIAM J., THOMAS, THEODORE,
all with their parents. Mr. Boyd is a good,
active Republican and a man
of substantial quality and worth; he and his
wife are members of the Congregational
church.
ADAM BOYD is one of the oldest
settlers in the Colville valley. The farm
where he lives now, two miles
south of Marcus, was taken as a homestead
over thirty years ago, and
for many years previous to that he had lived
in the valley. Adam
Boyd was born on July 27, 1833, the son of ISAAC
and MAGDALENA (HARSHBURGER)
BOYD, natives of Pennsylvania, where also
they remained until their
death. His ancestors lived in that state for
many years previous.
Adam was educated in the common schools and at the
age of sixteen began to learn
the cabinet maker's trade. Then he took
up carpenting until 1856,
in which year he came to Iowa and in 1859 to
Nebraska. Thence he
journeyed via Pike's Peak to Walla Walla and in the
following year we find him
in southern Oregon. In 1861 he came to Idaho
in the time of the Orofino
gold excitement, where he mined for some
time. IT was in 1861
that Mr. Boyd first set foot in the territory now
embraced in Stevens county,
and the first few years of his stay here
were spent in placer mining
on the Pend d'Oreille. Subsequent to this
mining, Mr. Boyd took up hunting
and trapping and he was a typical
westerner and Nimrod until
1872. Shortly after that he operated a saw
mill at old Colville and during
that time he took his present
homestead. In all the
years since Mr. Boyd settled upon his homestead
he has continued steadily
in cultivating the soil and improving the
place. He has shown
himself to be a man of reliability and sound
principles. He has considerable
property and has always labored to
build up the country. In 1874
Mr. Boyd married JOSEPHINE HARRY, and to
them have been born five children:
HARRY, in this county; MARY, with her
parents; MAGGIE, wife of William
Carmicheal; JOSEPH and CHRISTINA, both
at home. Mr. Boyd is a democrat
and in 1882 was called by the people to
act as county commissioner,
running against John Rickey, Republican. In
1884 he was elected his own
successor. He has also served as justice of
the peace and in his public
walk as well as in his private life he has
discharged responsibilities
devolving upon him a commendable manner.

Fred A. WHITNEY, connected
by marriage with the oldest settlers in
Stevens county, came to Stevens
county in 1889, just as the territory of
Washington was entering into
statehood. His comfortable surroundings
warrant the belief that he
has no occasion to regret his choice of a
home. He is one of the successful
farmers and cattle men of the country.
Camppoint, Illinois, is the
place of his nativity, and he was born May
15,1855. His father, J.W.
Whitney, a native of Ohio, removed from
Illinois to Minnesota in 1859,
when the subject of this sketch was four
years of age. The mother,
Martha J. (Riggin) Whitney, was born and
reared in Illinois. In 1887
they came from Minnesota to Spokane where
they now reside. Their union
was blessed by nine children, of whom seven
survive, viz.: J.M. and G.W.,
of Bozeman, Montana; Mary E., widow of
Samuel Tower, in Springdale;
EMMA A, WIDOW OF J.S. BOYD, IN ST PAUL,
MINNESOTA; Ella L., wife of
G.W. Bowers, of St.Paul; W.H., a resident
of Spokane; and Fred A., our
subject..................
