About Boyd Leedom
Lived 1906 – 1969 (aged 62–63). Boyd Leedom was a judge and list of justices of the South Dakota Supreme Court.
Boyd Stuart Leedom (1906 – August 11, 1969) was a justice of the South Dakota Supreme Court from 1951 to 1955, and a member of the National Labor Relations Board from 1955 to 1964.
Leedom, a Republican, was appointed to the NLRB by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and served as its chair February 11, 1955 to June 3, 1961. He continued on the NLRB as a member until December 16, 1964. After Stanley Forman Reed resigned from the Supreme Court early in 1957, it was suggested by the Pennington County Republican organization and subsequently by Representative Ellis Yarnal Berry that Leedom be named as his replacement. Leedom's candidacy was not discussed outside South Dakota and neighbouring localities, while the seat ultimately went to Charles Evans Whittaker of the Eighth Circuit.
