Blast from the Past - Who was "Love To All from Guy" 1911 to 1914



















Who was Guy?
Guy Bennett Boyd from Defiance, Ohio
Born 26 Feb 1891
As a single man of 20 years, Guy came on the adventure of a lifetime to Mackay, Idaho            
from 1911 to 1914
He sent many postcards home to his mother, Laura Rosa (aka Rose) Boyd (his father, Frank, born about 1871, may have been living separately from his mother and Guy sent him a postcard 1 Mar 1914).
Guy survived his adventures in Mackay and returned home to Defiance, Ohio – married Sarah Leota Woodruff in 1919 and had a second marriage to Bertha R. Loy in 1927, probably telling his Idaho stories to whoever would listen over and over.
Guy died 15 July 1962 in Defiance, Ohio.
