SAMUEL G. BOYD
Reaches 90 years
The Post-Star, Friday, June 16, 1933, GlenFalls, New York
Samuel G. Boyd is one of the few residents of Glen Falls alive todaywho can picture Glen Street as it looked before the great fire of1864.
Born on Federal Hill, North Bolton, June 15, 1843, Mr. Boyd came herewith his parents in 1847. Mr. Boyd worshipped in all five churchesbuilt by the Presbyterians, including the "Old white", erected about125 years ago and replaced in 1850 by a building which burned in 1864.Mr Boyd has a vivid recollection of the fire which destroyed all buttwo stores. He was
twenty-one and a member of the fire department. He did his bit manningthe brakes on a hand engine from which water was pumped from wells.There were no motor pumpers or high pressure water mains in thosedays.
Mr. Boyd's home at Park and Elm streets was a station on the"Underground Railway" for slaves escaping to Canada. Going to the barnone morning, he saw a negro hidden in the hay. Rushing into the househe told his mother what he had seen and was set in a chair with theadmonition not to say a word about it. That evening his father droveout with a sleigh loaded with bogs (logs? JMc). In the load were twoslaves. They were delivered to a Quaker in Swanton, Vermont, whoassisted them on the last lap of their journey to Canada.
Few residents of this city are as well known as this tall, activenonagenarian, who can remember when Glen Falls was a hamlet of 400persons and the industries here were sawmills, lime kilns, tanneries,and brick yards.
