Milo Ford (Moses) Lloyd

[topo60]

Is Milo Lloyd is in your family tree?
According to the ‘Ancestral File’ listed on IGI “Milo Ford (Moses) Lloyd was born in Apr 1840 in , , , Whales. He was buried in Jul 1918 in Trucksville, Cedar Crest Cem, Pennsylvania, Luzerne County. He died on 10 Jul 1918 in , , Pennsylvania, Luzerne. Slept on his hands and knees! Knew the bible from front to back. Was able to read music (played violin) and must have been literate to read music.” also “Possibly a lady in waiting to the Queen of England - was fired for marrying a Welsch commoner”. He had seven children born between 1871 - 1895
Allegedly his wife was Elizabeth Bottoms born 1853 to Thomas and Mary in Co. Durham, UK (they were my 3x Great Grandparents).

Ooops - It was his wife Elizabeth (not Milo..!!) who was allegedly Lady in Waiting to the Queen - highly unlikely as her family were poor working class (miners and farmers).

Well at least you have longevity in your family then.

I can see it's reliably recorded that Elizabeth made it to 98. ;)

Go on, tell me that bit's really true.

Yup..! its true and she ain't the only one in the family to make it (almost) to 100.
How's this for an obit.
