EDWARD
F. LLOYD
Thirty-two
years’ successful experience in varied phases of finance is an indication of
the professional caliber of the senior partner in a firm of certified public accountants. Edward F. Lloyd, associated with Brown, Lloyd
and Stevenson in Alhambra, has had this experience. Some of his activities outside the realm of
finance give an indication of his caliber as a man. He is secretary of the board of the Union
Rescue Mission in Los Angeles; he is vice-president of Gideons International
for California and Nevada; he is affiliated with the Child Evangelism Fellowship
of Southern California, serving as its secretary; he also preaches in the
missions and represents the Gideons in church services. On the advisory board of the Navajo Gospel
Mission in Oraibi, Arizona, Mr. Lloyd is also an advisor of the Christian
Anti-Communism Crusade. He is a deacon
at the South San Gabriel Union Church and its finance chairman. In addition to his work in the religious
field, Mr. Lloyd, the father of five children, is the treasurer of the Alhambra
Rotary Club. In 1961 he was president of
the board of directors of the Alhambra District Young Men’s Christian
Association.
Born
in Malden, Massachusetts, on August 4, 1908, Edward F. Lloyd is the son of
Thomas Parr Lloyd, of Liverpool, England, and Cora Arabelle
(Levens) Lloyd, of Baltimore, Maryland, a descendant
of Governor Bradford. He attended
elementary school in Malden, Massachusetts, and after coming to California,
attended Glendale Union High School and studied for two years at Glendale City
College. To quote his own expression he
was further educated in “the college of hard knocks”. In 1947 he received his Certified Public Accountant’s
degree from the state of California. He
is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
From
1929 until 1941 Mr. Lloyd was a credit analyst for Shell Oil Company. For the next four years he was with Price,
Waterhouse & Co., then spent almost two years as
chief dry cargo accountant for the American-Pacific Steamship Company, and a
year as treasurer and comptroller of Hollywood Sportogs in Glendale.
In 1948 he went into business for himself in Los Angeles, and two years
later became associated with Brown and Ferguson Certified Public Accountants in
Alhambra. In 1951 it became Brown, Lloyd
and Stevenson, and has retained the name even though Mr. Brown has retired and
Francis J. King, Jr., has become a junior partner. The firm is the largest of its type in the
Alhambra area; its services include business management, tax, and audits.
In Glendale, on December 27, 1932, Mr. Lloyd
was married to the former Miss Ellen Kathryn Doane,
of North Dakota. Their children
are: Philip E., a graduate of Alhambra
High School and Pasadena City College, who is now with the Superior Oil Company
as a draftsman and has a son, David P.; Mrs. Philip (Patricia I.) Lewis is a
graduate of Pasadena High School who now lives in Oregon with her husband, the
principal of the New Hope Christian School, and their three children, Rebecca,
Jon and Nathan; Kenneth A. is president of his class at Biola
College in La Mirada, is on the varsity soccer team, and is a graduate of
Temple City High School where he played football; Christine E. attends Temple
City High School; Carol Anne attends Longden School.
Mr.
Lloyd rounds out his spare moments with woodworking and photography. His philosophy of life is best expressed in
Romans 12:11 – “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord”.
