Lloyd was the 3rd of eight children born to Ole J. and Mary Olson. Ole J. moved his family from Washburn, WI in 1906 to Rich Valley Twp, Benson County, North Dakota.
Ole J. was an enterprising man and did custom threshing, among other things, which kept family and many hired men busy. Lloyd grew up supervising hired men. He was a fun loving young man, given to many pranks that kept his family members "on guard" for what might happen next.
As an adult, Lloyd could usually be seen with a pipe in his mouth smoking his favorite Velvet pipe tobacco. He was hard working and devoted to his wife Elizabeth and two boys. He loved to visit his siblings and family in the community and sometimes on a nice summer day, Lloyd and Elizabeth would get in the car and take a nice drive, just to be alone. They would often return with a pint of ice cream for each of the boys. In retrospect, Lloyd and Elizabeth stretched the budget for the boys and went-without; themselves.
In 1962, Lloyd and Elizabeth decided to sell the farm and retire to Maddock. Lloyd managed a small furniture store for several years. The store was a gatheing place for men who loved to visit and tell stories of the olden times. Lloyd was his happiest those years.
Lloyd had some physical and emotional struggles while on the farm but he worked through all that. He was completely devoted to his wife and their two boys never witnessed an argument between the two. He was admitted to a hospital in Rugby, ND. where he suffered a stroke and died before family members arrived. He was a good man.
