Summary
Fred L. Floyd was born on Beaver Island on December 15, 1896. The February 1974 obituary records his 1916 Beaver Island marriage to Ruth Graham, later Coast Guard service and construction work in Muskegon, and his February funeral and Norton Shores Cemetery interment.
Evidence and limits
The obituary does not state an exact death date; the February 3 rosary and February 4 funeral support February 1974 at month precision. It is not an independent civil, military, church, or cemetery record. The spouse link is limited to the newspaper’s stated 1916 marriage.
