There is a minimal entry for Manus C Boyd on the FindaGrave registry, with a photo of his gravestone. Interestingly, the stone reports his birth date only by the year 1914. His death certificate reports the exact date of death which is 19 May 1913. I conclude that the birth year was wrong on the stone, since his mother was the informant for the death certificate. The death certificate does not report the place of birth.

But the birth date is different. The Nora L Boyd in the memorial was born in 1896, while Frank and Emma's daughter was born in 1884. She was their first child that lived. This may actually be the burial of our Nora L Boyd, daughter of Frank and Emma, but someone got the birth date wrong on the stone. Otherwise, this is a different Nora L Boyd.
