Biography* Andrew Lego Boyd, 1863-1921:
Andrew Lego was the seventh child and seventh son born to Henry Boyd and Mary Mahoney. His middle name, Lego, was based on the maiden name of his paternal grandmother. Both of Andrew’s parents were born in Ireland. Father Henry, who immigrated circa 1850, came from near Bantry Bay in County Cork. Mother Mary may have been from County Cork as well. Henry and Mary’s three oldest children were born in New York, the next three in Wisconsin. Andrew was the first born in Minnesota. There were twelve known children of which three were daughters. The children’s mother Mary Mahoney died in 1876 in Mower County, Minnesota when Andrew was twelve. Two years later, Andrew’s father Henry, age 51, married Rachel Pease, age 41, in the same place. Rachel was born in Massachusetts as were her parents.

In 1860, the family was living in Waupun township, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. The father Henry was working as a carpenter. Henry declared $500 in real estate and personal estate of $100. By the time that Andrew was born in 1863, the family lived in Le Roy township, Mower County, Minnesota. In 1870, the father Henry was a citizen of the United States and was working as a farmer. At that time Henry declared $2,500 of real estate and a personal estate of $400. In September 1879, a wagon train set out from Leroy, Minnesota for the Dakota Territory. There were several units and about a hundred cattle. Included in the group were Henry’s family and his brother John’s family. John had gone to the Territory the year before and filed a claim in Herman Township of Lake County (Town 106 North/Range 53 West). The wagon train traveled across Minnesota on the railroad grade that had been completed to Pipestone, Minnesota. The tracks had not yet been laid. The group forded the Sioux River about 4 miles north of Flandreau. On October 12, 1879, they reached what is now the outskirts of Madison, South Dakota. A sister Sarah Boyd and her husband William Larrington and their children made the trek from Minnesota the following year followed later by brother James.

All the Boyd families built the buildings on their home places. Lumber was hauled from Sioux Falls, South Dakota with teams and wagons. They would go to Sioux Falls one day and load up, then return home the next day. The Boyds were also instrumental in organizing and building Grace Episcopal Church in Madison. Rocks were hauled from Dell Rapids, South Dakota, with teams of horses and wagons.

Andrew, 57, died on a Friday.

Born in Fillmore County, Minnesota, her family moved to Mower County before she was one-year-old. Circa 1892, the family moved to 234 Newton Street in the 3rd ward of Albert Lea, Freeborn County, Minnesota. Usually referred to as Johanna through 1904, she was called Josephine after that. Josephine was married by City Justice E. S. Hammond before witnesses Jas. F. Connors and Albert Loeppler. After her 1906 marriage, she and her husband John lived on Charles Street in Albert Lea.

Josephine, 20, died of hemorraghes on a Thursday, twelve days after her daughter was born. She was attended by Dr. W. Palmer, Albert Lea. Her death cert lists her burial place as Fountain, Minnesota but her Albert Lea obituary says she was buried in Grand Meadow, Mower County, Minnesota. Don't know which is correct since the family lived in both places. Undertaker services were provided by H. B. Knatrvold, Albert Lea.

Biography* George H. Ryan, 1891-1913:
Born in Mower County, Minnesota, George grew up in Albert Lea, Freeborn County. On 01 December 1907, George moved onto his father's homestead near Midland, South Dakota (At that time, the farm was in Kiser township of Stanley County but by 1920 the county boundaries had changed and the farm was in Haakon County). In February 1908, George's father left the homestead for hospital and in April of that year a prairie fire destroyed all of the buildings on the homestead. On 1 June 1909, rebuilding was commenced and on 1 November of that year young George reinhabited the place.

Geroge, 18-days short of his 22nd birthday, died in Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa on a Friday at his sister Mary Sullivan's home at 717 North Third Street West. Cause of death was tuberculosis. George had lived in Cedar Rapids for the last six months. He was also survived by two brothers, John Ryan of Roundup, Montana, and William Ryan of Albert Lea, Minnesota. The body was taken to Albert Lea on Saturday for the funeral and interment.
[NOTE: Does not seem likely that George was buried in Albert Lea. Of the 13-members of this family, nine are buried in Carrolton Catholic cemetery outside of Fountain, Minnesota. Some were transported considerable distances to get there. None of the other family members are buried in Albert Lea, including the brother William who was living there in 1913.]

Biography* Maggie Ryan, 1874-1875:
Maggie is not listed with the family in the Minnesota census taken on 1 May 1875. There is a county birth record for her but no county death record. In the 1900 census, the mother Margaret is listed as having had eight children, seven of whom are living. This child should have made the total nine. It's possible that the county birth record is wrong and Maggie wasn't Thomas Ryan/Margaret McCabe's child. It's also possible that she wasn't counted in the 1900 census because she was stillborn or only lived for a few hours or days.

  7. The state of Minnesota created state defense forces during each of the world wars. As a response to the U. S. entrance into World War I, the U. S. Congress passed the Home Guard Act of 1917, which allowed the states to create home guards. Minnesota Home Guard was created on April 28, 1917, and served for the duration of World War I. The Minnesota Home Guard eventually consisted of 23 battalions with more than 7,000 men. All elements of the Home Guard had been dissolved by December of 1920.(excerpted from Wikipedia)
