"WILLIAM S. LLOYD DIED AT THE POLLS: Stricken With Heart Failure When He Went to Cast His Ballot--Court Stenographer FINCHER Fainted Shortly Afterward from the Excitement and Closeness of the Room. // As he stood in line of voters in front of one of the north booths at the court house, awaiting his turn to cast a ballot in yesterday's primary, Mr. William S. LLOYD, an aged citizen, was suddenly attacked by heart disease and fell dead. He gave an outward sign of the approaching attack and his sudden death caused great confusion among the large crowd of waiting voters. He was immediately picked up by friends and carried into the office of the ordinary and a physician was called but this proved of no avail, as he had died immediately following the attack. // Mr. LLOYD's death was due to heart disease, although for several years he had been in extremely feeble health and had not been out of his house until yesterday for over a month. Mr. LLOYD had been a sufferer from kidney trouble, and this, added to the debilities of old age, rendered him an easy victim to the attack of heart trouble, which was doubtless superinduced by the excitement an crush of election day. Mr. LLOYD had just remarked to a friend a few moments before his death that he felt better than he had in some time and that he believed the ride up town had helped him. // A patriotic desire to exercise the suffrage privilege again was the indirect cause of Mr. LLOYD's death. He was feeling unusually well yesterday and he telephoned to a friend up town to send a hack down to his residence that he might come to the voting place and cast his ballot. Mr. Gilbert FINCHER, the court reporter, volunteered t go to Mr. LLOYD's residence and accompany him to the polls. // Mr. LLOYD was in the line of voters when he fell and was being assisted to the both by Mr. FINCHER, who was the first to see the aged voter sink to the floor. He aided in carrying the body into the ordinary's office and when he returned to the voting booth was seized with a sudden fainting, which overcame him, causing him to sink to the floor. Mr. FINCHER was carried into one of the offices at the court house and was soon revived, the attack being nothing more serious than a faint brought on by the intense excitement of the moment and the closeness of the atmosphere about the polls. // Mr. LLOYD was 83 years of age and resided at No. 829 First avenue. He is survived by four children, Mr. W. E. LLOYD, of this city, the well-known ware-houseman; Mr. John F. LLOYD, of Macon, Ga.; Mrs. John BARRY, of Atlanta, and Mrs. Ida PERRY, of Macon, Ga. He is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. T. J. WATTS, of Atlanta; Mrs. Joseph JONES, of Atlanta and Mrs. F. A. ROBINSON, of Savannah, Ga. // Mr. LLOYD did not serve in the field during the civil war, being disqualified from such service by an optical affection, but served the Confederate government as hatter here in Columbus, being employed in the commissary department. He was a member of the Columbus Guards at the outbreak of hostilities but failed to pass the physical examination and was assigned to duty in the commissary department as a maker of hats or caps for the Confederate soldiers. // He was a resident of Columbus since the early 50's, coming here from Aiken, S. C. For several years he was clerk of the superior court and later was deputy clerk, his whole term of service in that office covering about thirty years. He was at one time a prominent steamboat man at this point. He was a member of the Episcopal church and until his enfeebled health prevented, he was a regular attendant at that church. // The funeral will take place from the residence this afternoon at three o'clock, conditional upon the arrival in the city of relatives residing at a distance, and will be conducted by Rev. S. Alston WRAGG and interment will be in Linwood cemetery." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Saturday, 29 FEB 1908.]
"FUNERAL OF MR. WILLIAM S. LLOYD. // The funeral of Mr. William S. LLOYD, who died suddenly while attending the county primary Friday at the court house, will take place from the residence on lower First avenue this morning at nine o'clock, conducted by the Rev. S. Alston WRAGG, and interment will be in Linwood cemetery." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Sunday, 01 MAR 1908, p. 8.]
"The funeral of Mr. William S. LLOYD, whose death occurred Friday afternoon at the polling place at the court house, while in the act of voting, took place from the late residence, No. 829 First avenue, Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, the services being conducted by the Rev. S. Alston WRAGG. The pallbearers were Messrs. Van MARCUS, William REDD, Jr., R. E. THWEATT, S[terling] Price GILBERT, Ed. F. ROBERTS and Frank U. GARRARD. Interment was in Linwood cemetery." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Tuesday, 03 MAR 1908, p. 8.]
Mary Jane Galer's list of persons buried in the Old Cemetery section of Linwood shows: Wm. S. FLOYD [sic], married male, died aged 83 years of heart failure; interred 01 MAR 1908 by undertaker [Charlton Lafayette] TORBETT, reference local death certificate #1055 - Sexton Jesse Alec BEARD.
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. It is probably in the lot with "LLOYD" on the step - see Section G, Lot 2, in Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book, Volume 2, p. 107
