Lloyd was born on June 26, 1910, on a farm near Overton to Noel and Mae 
(Holsclaw) Bacon.  He graduated from Overton High School in 1927 and moved 
that year with his family to a farm northeast of Lexington where he worked for 
two years until attending Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln.  There he 
met Naomi Metcalf and they were married on October 24, 1932, in Lyons.  They 
lived on a farm near Lexington for seven years.
 
They then moved into Lexington in 1939 where he owned and operated two 
gasoline stations.  Lloyd joined the Army in 1942 and served as a 1st 
Lieutenant until September, 1946.  During this time, he was an engineer in the 
South Pacific and Japan.  He was associated with the Farmers State Bank of 
Lexington from 1947 until 1963, when he and his brother, Harold, founded the 
North Platte State Bank.  He was president there until he returned to 
Lexington in 1969 to become president of the Farmers State Bank.  He retired 
for the first time in 1973.  After six weeks of retirement, he returned to his 
beloved farming and ran a pay loader at Robert’s Feed Yard where he kept his 
cattle.  He retired for the second time in 1991.  Lloyd moved to Central City 
in 2000. 

Lloyd was active in church, business, and civic organizations such as the 
school board, city council, the Chamber of Commerce, fair board, Rotary Club, 
Nebraska Bankers Association, and the VFW.
