Floyd Amandus Fey was born in Naperville Sept. 16, 1885. He was the eldest son of George and Amanda Fey. When six years of age the family moved to Chicago, where his father engaged in the dairy business.
At the time of his marriage to Miss Alma Dreessen in 1908 he was employed by the Burlington railroad. In 1911 the family moved from Chicago to a farm near Naperville and in 1922 came to Aurora. Here Mr. Fey entered the transfer business for himself and later was connected with the Aurora Transfer company for 23 years. A year ago he went to work for Louis Isman & Son. He was a member of Local 423, International Chauffeurs and Teamsters union.
The marriage was blessed with six children, five boys and one girl: George, the eldest, of North Arlington, N. J.; Robert of Aurora; Donald of Fort Worden, Seattle, Wash.; Walter of Passaic, N. J.; Richard of Aurora, and Mrs. Esther Riley of Aurora. Four of these sons and the son-in-law served in the armed forces during World War II. There are five grandchildren and one brother, Joseph, of Aurora.
Mr. Fey was fond of his family and loved to have them with him. The Hill avenue home was always the family headquarters and the latchstring was always out for family and friends.
