Her chief interest was her home and family and she gave herself unsparingly to both.
Through years of Kansas drouth, prairie fire and grasshoppers she toiled to keep her family fed and clothed and in school, that they might have advantages she had been denied.
 In 1904 the family moved to the old home place one half mile north of Gretna. Mrs. LOYD lived to see 14 grandchildren born in the family, all surviving.
