William Herschel Floyd
M, #1529, b. 9 July 1914, d. 21 October 1989
| Birth* | 9 July 1914 | William Herschel Floyd was born on 9 July 1914 at Pulaski County, GA. |
| | He was the son of James Edward Floyd and Annie Jane Holland. |
| Death* | 21 October 1989 | He died on 21 October 1989 at Cochran, Bleckley County, GA, at age 75. |
| Employment* | | He was employed at Farming. |
| Biography* | 2001 | Here is a note written by his sister Mary: Herschel was always sort of my favorite of the three boys. He paid more attention to me even if it did involve having me do something for him which was the case most of the time. When I was a young girl he could just speak my name gently and I would do most anything for him including ironing his shirts and POLISHING HIS SHOES!!!! Yes, you read that right. Anyway, when I was about 14 or 15 I had once a week when it was my turn to prepare *supper*. We always had the main big meal and I mean (BIG) in the middle of the day, so supper was eating whatever was left over plus usually a *fill in. * My fill in was tomato and rice soup (which I love to this day and I'm almost (80) now. Always when it was my night to cook everyone knew we were going to have tomato and rice soup and chocolate pudding. I was crazy about the soup and Herschel loved the chocolate pudding!!. Once I had a boyfriend, whom I considered very good looking, but Herschel knew too much about his sisters and did not consider them *nice*, therefore his family was not nice enough for me to date their brother so he ran the young man off and told him never to set foot on our property again. (why did I like Herschel?) Later in life after I had grown up and moved away from home I always made a point of visiting Herschel and Annie (Wimberely) was her last name before they got married. He knew I liked to fish and would go to town (5 miles) away and bring fish bait (worms) for me. I guess this was *My Candy*. He was terribly rough with Annie but never in my entire life did he speak harshly to me or LaVerne. But Annie and Annette - he would yell at them in a *flat minute*. I am sure that is why Annette did not get along with him. Herschel was a fun loving person and LaVerne could make him laugh, of course LaV. could make most anyone laugh she has always been such a fun person to be with because she is so happy go lucky by nature. Once when I was visiting Herschel and Annie, My son Joe and his band had been playing in Louisiana and all came to visit with me at Herschel's. Everyone had their musical instruments with them except Pete the drummer. Herschel rounded up two tin washtubs for Pete to play and we had the most fun with that little band and those two tubs. My Mona and Joe's girlfriend (Carla Wagner) came with them and Herschel always loved Mona so much. When she was just a little girl he would let her ride on the donkey or horse and for that she loved her Uncle Herschel. So this time she's about 21-22 and Herschel went to Hawkinsville and rented a horse and wagon with seats and the band and everyone rode all over the town having a ball waving at everyone. Pete had never been on a farm before and he was having the time of his life. I look back now and It was a fun time to be alive. When Herschel was in the Hospital with prostate cancer I had a chance to wrap my arms around him and say just how much I loved him and he told me the same. At his funeral some man with a deep voice stood up and sang *JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE*. That is the most beautiful song to me and I hope someone will sing it at my funeral or maybe play it on a tape. Mona had painted a sign for him to hang over the entrance of the barn which read *I'm proud to be a Country Boy*. He had built in that barn a complete Kitchen with several long tables and lots of chairs so he could entertain his family and friends by serving all the catfish and Hush Puppies one could eat. It was so much fun and such a happy time. I wish I could live over part of my youth. Once he ran his donkey for the office of a city official. The three boys played on a baseball team and for some reason free cokes were given away and I always gave mine to Herschel. To me he was a pussy cat that liked to roar like a lion. I truly did love him. END OF STORY- written by Mary Floyd. |
