Loyd and Blanche Marry
Loyd married Blanche May Wheeler on November 4, 1909 at her parents home in New Hanover, North Carolina. At the time, Loyd was living in Southport, North Carolina. He was 20, she was only 15.
In 1910, Loyd and Blanche lived with Blanche’s parents, William and Martha Wheeler, at 415 Castle Street, Wilmington Township, Hanover County, North Carolina. Martha, who had given birth to three children during her 36 years, had already grieved twice, and only her daughter Blanche still lives. The census for their household lists the birthplace of Martha and both her parents as North Carolina. Oddly, the census record has the ages of Loyd and Blanche as 20, and 21, respectively.
The 1910 census also lists occupations. Loyd is listed as a housepainter. His father-in-law, the only other person in the home who is employed, works as a fish-packer. Each is self-employed.
