The family lived on the farm in Drury Township until the Depression. Then, they moved to the farm in Muscatine County that Floyd owned and has kept in the Ziegenhorn family.
Floyd graduated from Muscatine High School, class of 1949. He served in the Korean Conflict as a mechanic at Fort Hood, Texas. He was not allowed to go overseas since his brother Keith was already serving overseas.
