Boyd, pioneer Sapulpans, died early yesterday morning at Sand Springs hospital where she was taken the latter part of last week following a nervous breakdown. She was 21 years old at the time of her death, having been born in Sapulpa June 22, 1914. Miss Boyd was a student at the state university at Norman although her studies there had been interrupted twice since the opening last September. Only a few days after the fall term opened she had to undergo an operation for appendicitis which kept her out of school during the entire semester. Two weeks ago she returned to Norman for a second semester but within a few days had to return home on account of a nervous breakdown. Last week she was taken to the hospital where she soon lapsed into a coma from which she never aroused, death coming early yesterday morning. The young lady is survived by her parents, who have been residents of Sapulpa many years, and three brothers. Powell an instructor in the state university and now on leave of absence on account of his health; Stewart, with the First National Bank of Tulsa, and Billie, still at home.

Stuart, Frank Hill, and Eli Wilkonson, The latter two are from Tulsa. Miss Boyd graduated from the Sapulpa schools and was in her second year at the university.
