Boyd Mathews
April 14, 1927 — August 1, 2020
William Boyd Mathews was born April 14, 1927, in rural Chase County, to William M. and Edna
Marie (Bremer) Mathews. In his young years he grew up in rural Chase County attending rural District #10 grade school. Boyd (as he was known) went on to graduate from Chase County High
School in 1945. After graduation Boyd was turned down from the serving during WWII because
of his hearing, and took an opportunity to attend Colorado A&M on a track scholarship. He
returned to Chase County after his graduation and began his long career in farming.
Boyd married Joan A. Monasmith on December 26, 1950, in Holyoke Colorado, and the couple settled on the family farm nine miles west of Imperial. Raising their family and farming became their life long ambitions until retirement. Boyd and Joan retired and made Imperial their home.
