Lloyd H. Mendenhall, son of John J. and Samira R. Mendenhall, was born February 9, 1888, on a farm north of Earlham. The family moved to the Isaac Hadley homestead when Lloyd was a small boy, and after a brief sojourn at Panonia, Colorado, returned there, but soon bought the James Hadley place, which has been the Mendenhall family home since that time.
Lloyd attended the Bear Creek school and Earlham Academy, and he graduated from Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1912. He took a year of graduate work at Haverford College in Pennsylvania. After his marriage to Louise Hammon of LeGrand, Iowa, on August 28, 1913, he taught one year at Pacific College, Newberg, Oregon. He and Lousie spent a year in training for mission work at Hartford, Connecticut, then had a three-year period of service in Cuba under the American Friends Board of Missions. Later he served a few months in the Friends' work in Mexico. THey return to the farm in 1919, where he took an active part in church and community affairs until Louise's death in August, 1928.
Three sons came: Herschel, Orville, and Charles, who lived only briefly.
On December 27, 1929, Lloyd Mendenhall and Orpha Hadley were married at Newton, Iowa, and they lived on the farm until Orpha's death, March 14, 1963. Lloy continued to live on the farm.
One pleasant association of his laters years was participation in the "Over 60" group in Earlham. This led to re-acquaintance with Hazel DeVault of Earlham, and on November 16, 1966, they were united in marriage. Death came to her on January 8, 1967.
Lloyd Mendenhall served in many capacities in the local Friends Church and in Bear Creek Quarterly Meeting, of which he was presiding clerk for 30 years. He was also on the Permanent Board of Iowa Yearly Meeting. Another activity that he enjoyed was being a member of the Dallas County Board of Review for over 20 years.
