Greensburg Standard, Mar 23, 1883, Pg 5, Greensburg, IN: Nathaniel James Loyd was born February 22, 1828, on the farm now owned by John Barnes, three miles south of this city; was married in 1849 to Hannah, daughter of the late Luther F B Jocelyn; and died in this city Saturday morning, 17th instant, after a protracted illness of stone in the spleen. The deceased was the eldest son of John, and a grandson of Wm Loyd, two of the very early settlers in what was then known as the McConnell neighborhood; and his mother a daughter of Rev. Nathaniel Potter, an early settler and minister in the Sandcreek Baptist church region. He had been a resident of this city about twelve years, pursuing his trade as a stone cutter; had been an Odd Fellow (Lodge and Encampment member,) about the same time, and was esteemed as an upright industrious citizen. A remark made by George Gilham, who had been a partner for the last ten years of deceased, will best illustrate his character. "There were never any rough words passed between us. If either was a little "off" and spoke crustily, the other would turn away, and that would be the end of it." The funeral took place on Monday from the residence, on South Franklin street, conducted by the Odd Fellows, and the body was interred in the County Cemetery, there to rest until the final awakening of the just.
