Mr. Boyden entered Holy Orders and was ordained a Priest of the Church of England in 1932. After serving as Rector in several centres including St. John's Church, Parramatta, he passed the last 13 years of his life at St. Thomas'. The Centenary of the Church took place during his ministry. Interment took place in St. Thomas' Church Yard, after a service at the Church, conducted by the Rev. C. M. Mell. The Bishop Co-adjutor, Right Rev. W. G. Hilliard, officiated at the graveside. The Rev. Boyden was a brother of Mr. N. L. Boyden, of 'Wilford,' Wellington. His untimely death will be deeply regretted by his friends in Wellington and elsewhere.
