HAWTHORNE, NJ - Frank Boyd, the second of six children, was born in Paterson on August 20, 1909. According to Chepurko, Boyd had been welcomed home by friends and family for a three-week furlough and lived with his sister, Mrs. Herman Langenburg, during that time. "On the 29th of November, 1944, Corporal Frank Boyd, most likely suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, or battle fatigue as it was termed at the time, took his own life," Chepurko said. "Corporal Frank P. Boyd was buried with full military honors at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Paterson. "The citizens of Hawthorne, New Jersey," Chepurko said, "honor and salute the sacrifice of Corporal Frank P. Boyd, United States Army."
