Floyd was born Oct. 17, 1923, to Edith Pearl (Mead) and Claude Everett Talbot in East Moline, where he attended his first school days. After the death of his mother, his father married Edna Mae (Blackledge), and the family moved to rural Geneseo. His further education was received at Hanna Center School. He assisted his father in farming until October 1944 when he was united in marriage to Betty Erdman. They established their home on a farm in Edford Township, living there for more than 50 years and later retired to reside in Geneseo. Floyd accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in May 1942. He was baptized and became a member of the First Baptist Church in Geneseo where he served faithfully as a Sunday school teacher and deacon. Floyd was an employee of John Deere, retiring in 1982 after 27 years of faithful service. His hobbies included farming, gardening, hunting, watching his children and grandchildren's sports events and spending time with his family.
