Lloyd Knight Burroughs was born 18 Feb 1894, in Blakeslee OH to James W. "Jim" and Mary Leota "Ota" Chronister Burroughs. His family moved back to Cloud Co KS in 1897, where his parents purchased two farms. His siblings were: Reginald "Reggie", Wanda V. (Walter Lewis), Donald O. (Sylvia Headley and Dorothy Stanley), Nola Dale (August Tubach), and Dallas Earl (Eula Headley and Adeline Turner).
His sister, Wanda, was close in age and they were very close as young people. They both attended New Hope School, and he graduated from common school in 1913, and attended school in Miltonvale for a short time. From the time he was a young boy, he was out in the fields, setting his work ethic for life. Lloyd was a member of Wesleyan Methodist Church, which his parents helped to establish. He took piano lessons and loved to sing. He helped his father with community work, such as moving the church, buiding the foundation and the parsonage, and working the switchboard for the new telephone co. He worked for relatives and neighbors, as a farm laborer, for the rest of his life.
Lloyd eventually purchased 40 ac, along Hwy 81, where he kept livestock and enjoyed raising flowers. He became very close to his sister, Nola Dale, and was a big factor in her life when she became ill. Lloyd was an avid hunter and trapper. He died 4 Mar 1985 at the age of 91, and was buried in Pleasant Hill Cem., beside his parents, his grandmother and his brother.
