Amor Lloyd


Amor Lloyd was born, October 10, 1811, and remained on the farm until after his marriage, when he removed on land now owned by Aden Thompson. He married Rosa Ann, daughter of Francis Tulleys, of Ross County, who bore him eight cliildren; two died in infancy: Ann Elizabeth died, January 11, 1847; Permelia married Isaac Vincent, and departed this life, October 5, 1876. Those living are: John Milton, who resides in Sebastopol; Lissa married Joseph Watts, and removed to Mt. Auburn, Illinois; Delia and Bell reside with their mother, on the old homestead,

Mr. Lloyd, while living on the Aden Thompson farm, operated a tannery in addition to farming, and was engaged in the business for several years. He attended church regularly, and was considered a true Christian, and an honest man. He held the office of justice of the peace for fifteen years, and refused to serve when elected for the sixteenth year. He went to Missouri to purchase a farm, where he was taken ill, and soon after arriving home, November 25, 1857, he died. His heirs removed to the old home, where they still live, and practice his many virtues. They manage the farm, and raise grain and stock. The deceased daughters were interested in education, and taught school.
