W. F. Boyd ~ Sadie M. Laudenback
Polk County, Iowa
W. F. Boyd was born in Darke county, Ohio, September 5, 1848, where he
resided until seventeen years of age, when he removed with his parents to Iowa, and settled in Madison county. In the spring of 1866, it being the year following his arrival in Iowa, he engaged in his present business, that of photographer. His place of business was first at
Winterset, where he remained about one and a half years; at the expiration of that time his services were required on the home farm, and
he was compelled to temporarily abandon his chosen calling. At the end of three years he resumed his former occupation, and has followed it
continually ever since. Mr. Boyd is an artist by nature, and this inherited talent has been supplemented by years of industry and careful
study. His reputation at the present time is among the best in the State. He was married August 31, 1874, to Miss Sadie M. Laudenback, of
Madison county, who is a native of Indiana. They have one child: a daughter, named Lulu M.
