Mattie Lou Boyd was a daughter of Robert Love and Mattie Elkin Boyd. She never married and died in a nursing home in Indianola, Miss. Mattie Lou, like her sisters Della, Laura, and Lovie, taught school as a young woman. As the final child at home, she became the caretaker of aged and needy parents. She began to help in her father's general store in Poplar Creek, then took over full operation after his death. This led to the occupation she followed for the remainder of her working life---retail clerk in mercantile establishments.
