Lloyd Henry Churchill
Lloyd Henry Churchill was born at Gravity, Taylor County, Iowa, on May 31, 1895, and passed away on August 13, 1929, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam] H. [enry] Churchill, two miles north of Bedford, Iowa, at the age of 34 years, 2 months and 13 days. He attended the public schools at Bedford, Iowa, graduating from the Bedford High School in 1916, and then attending the Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa, for two years. He then joined the United State Army and served as Sergeant for about a year with Co. D, 212th Engineers, United States Army, receiving an honorable discharge in February 1919. He then returned to his home in Bedford, Iowa, where he stayed for a few months with his parents, returning to his studies at Iowa State College in the fall of 1919 and graduating from Iowa State College in 1921. He entered upon the duties of County Agent immediately and was sent to Winterset, Iowa, where for five years he made an enviable reputation among the County Agents of Iowa. In February 1927 he was promoted to the position of County Agent at Knoxville, Iowa, where he served in that capacity for one year. In April, 1928, he was compelled to give up his work and take to his bed. He spent most of the past year in hospitals at Iowa City and Rochester. He was married May 24, 1924, to Anna Dowell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Dowell of Bedford, Iowa, and on January 1, 1929, a son was born to this union. He was a Charter member of Bedford Post No. 164, of the American Legion and was a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, the Knights of Pythias Lodge and the Christian Church of Bedford, Iowa. He leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, Anna Churchill, and his seven months old son, Lloyd Henry Churchill, Jr., his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Churchill of Bedford, his brothers, Wayne Churchill of Bedford, Iowa, Roy C. Churchill of Ottawa, Kansas, Gail W. Churchill of Des Moines, Iowa, and many other relatives and friends. He was well known in agricultural circles throughout the state and his opinion was sought by many elder men on agricultural questions. He took great interest in his work, always attending the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines with his County Exhibit in Calf Club work. He was an indefatigable worker, had a high sense of honor and integrity and was a staunch friend, generous and charitable and was well believed by all who knew him.
Several automobile loads of old friends and acquaintances from Winterset, Ia., drove to Bedford to attend the funeral services, which were held at the Christian church at 3:00 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C. F. McMican. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.
