Biographies

BOYD, JAMES ARTHUR (1867-1941), businessman and politician, was born on 7 July 1867 at Portsea, Hampshire, England, son of John Boyd, draper, and his wife Janet Moffatt, née McTurk. About 1869 the family moved to Ayrshire, Scotland. James was educated at St John's Academy, Glasgow, but left school early to become a farm-labourer. He was then apprenticed as a ship's painter on the Loch line. He arrived in Melbourne in 1885 and became first a painter of buildings and later a storeman. He attended night classes at the Working Men's College, dabbling with Henry George's single-tax theories. In 1887-88 he took charge of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co.'s models at the Melbourne Centennial International Exhibition.
