Easter Sunday Memorial 1918
These photo's came from varoius Boyd family sources, except for one at top left and bottom right- they were all taken Easter Sunday, March 1918. The majority of the Boyd children have gathered together at at the home of Joe and Annie Hoyt's home in Prairie, Wa. Father Lewis Alexander Boyd had just recently passed away in Seattle, 13 Febuary 1918 and the family probably held his memorial service here.
