LLOYD, BLAKE, TATUM, SMITH, McCORD, GOODWIN, CARRIGAN, JONES



J. W. LLOYD, senior partner of the firm of Lloyd & Blake, proprietors and

publishers of the Fayetteville "Express", was born October 3, 1843, in

Huntsville, Ala., son of W. B. and Martha P. (TATUM) LLOYD, born in

Virginia in 1817 and 1817, and died in 1873 and 1851, respectively.  They

were married in 1838, and soon after moved to Huntsville, Ala.  Our

subject's mother died when he was quite young, and at the age of thirteen

he became an apprentice at the printer's trade, working on the Huntsville

"Advocate" four years.  He then commenced life for himself as a journeyman,

and the following thirteen years worked in most of the large cities in the

South, assisting on the leading daily and weekly papers.  In April, 1873,

he came to Fayetteville and assisted in establishing the Fayetteville

"Express", the proprietor and publisher being J. B. SMITH.  In 1876 Mr.

LLOYD and F. O. McCORD purchased the press, but in 1880 Mr. J. W. GOODWIN

purchased Mr. McCORD's interest, and for two years the firm was known as

Lloyd & Goodwin.  From 1882 to August, 1883, the firm was Lloyd & Carrigan,

and in January, 1884, Mr. BLAKE took a one-half interest.  The "Express" is

a newsy paper and is devoted to the interests of the people.  Mr. LLOYD has

been in the newspaper business nearly thirty years and knows the needs and

wishes of his patrons.  He is a Democrat in his political views, and cast

his first presidential vote for S. J. Tilden in 1876.  February 23, 1881,

he married Kate JONES, daughter of Capt. Joel J. JONES, who was killed in

the battle of Perryville, Ky.  Mrs. LLOYD was born in Lincoln County,

Tenn., in 1853, and has one son - Sumner.
