From The Francis Herald
Francis, Okla., Thursday, February 22, 1923

In Memorium (sic)

Rev. J. W. Lloyd died at his home here on the morning of February 14, after an 
illness of flu and other complications.  He was 74 years of age and had lived in 
Francis and Pontotoc county for many years.  He was the father of seven 
daughters, six of whom are living, and they with the wife and mother are left to 
mourn his death.  Born in Virginia, he received his education and entered the 
Southern Methodist ministry in early manhood, coming to the Indian Territory and 
Oklahoma as a missionary more than 35 years ago, serving as pastor, presiding 
elder and other church capacities during these years.  Funeral services were 
conducted at the Methodist church, Rev. B. L. Williams, of Seminole and Rev. 
Hornsby officiating.  Interrment (sic) was at Cedar Grove.  In his passing, 
another landmark has been erased, and his struggles and triumphs are now only 
memories to those who loved him and knew him best.




A Card of Thanks

We are herewith extending our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our many good 
friends for their kind services and sympathy in the illness and death of our 
husband and father.  To the members of the choir, the pianist, the ministers’ 
words and prayers of consolation, to Mrs. Fannie Bean for the beautiful pot of 
geraniums, the numerous boxes of fragrant flowers sent by friends from Oklahoma 
City and for all other tokens of service and sympathy we are extremely grateful, 
and only hope that such friends may be yours when sadness darkens your lives and 
hearts.

Mrs. J. W. Lloyd and family
