Sydney Schools To Inherit Local Man's Estate - Honolulu Star-Bulletin - 14 Mar 1953 - Page 3 "The NSW Masonic Schools in Sydney, Australia, through the Edith Boyd Memorial Trust Fund will inherit the bulk of the estate of Joseph Thompson Boyd, late Honolulu resident. The Territorial Supreme Court so ruled in a decision filed late yesterday afternoon. Mr. Boyd left assets here valued at about $140,000 ... The Supreme Court upheld a ruling by former Circuit Judge Willson C. Moore that it was Mr. Boyd's intention as disclosed in a series of letters he wrote to officials of the Masonic Schools, to leave most of his estate to the trust fund. The contribution is designated as a memorial to Edith Boyd, Mr. Boyd's wife who died at sea while the couple were en route to Australia for a visit in 1941. A provision in Mr. Boyd's will setting up the trust fund was contested by three of his first cousins living in Lawton [Lawson?], NSW. Their contention that Mr. Boyd did not create a charitable trust cannot be upheld, the Supreme Court ruled." Newspapers.com image 269301538.
