• Notes

  True Republican May 15. 1963 Final rites are being accorded this Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the Van Natta Funeral Home for Louis E. Lloyd, 89, prominently known and highly regarded farmer of the Sycamore area, noted historian and long time able public official who passed away Sunday morning, May 12, at the Sycamore Municipal Hospital following an extended period of failing health. Born Dec. 1, 1873, in South Grove Township, Mr. Lloyd lived the major part of his life at his beautiful farm home north of Sycamore on Highway 23. His parents were Sergius and Julia Gibb Lloyd. He attended the rural schools, also Wheaton College. On Sept. 5, 1895, he was married to Ida V. Hopkins, who passed away in 1944. Farming was Mr. Lloyds main vocation for many years, and he was one of the first members of the DeKalb County Farm Bureau. During his later years, his son, Sergius, operated the family farm until his death in 1959, and since then, Mr. Lloyd had resided on the farm alone. In June of 1948, Mr. Lloyd was appointed assistant supervisor for Sycamore Township, succeeding Arthur L. Stark, who died April 27, of that year. He was re-elected three times, retiring this year, after 15 years of service, due to ill health. For many years, he also served as the moderator for Sycamore Township's annual meetings. Mr. Lloyd was an authority on much of the early history of DeKalb County, especially in the Sycamore area. He was president of the DeKalb County Historical Society, for 20 years, served as a director of the DeKalb County Farm Bureau, also served as president of the DeKalb County Centennial in 1936. He was one of the main promoters of the current compiling of the history of DeKalb County, now in the process of preparation. Mr. Lloyd was an active member for many years of the Congregational Church, now the Federated Church. His outstanding congeniality and cheerfulness will long be remembered by his large circle of friends. He is survived by his devoted daughter, Mrs. George (Bessie) Milles, of Oak Park; three grandchildren; six great grandchildren; and a sister, Miss Alice Lloyd of Sycamore.
