George H. Lloyd was a dependable and devoted character actor, predominantly featured in Westerns throughout his Hollywood career, which spanned from 1933 to 1955. After retiring from film acting in 1955, he settled down with his wife in a house within the city limits of Los Angeles.
However, his domestic life took a tumultuous turn in 1962, when he and his wife divorced, resulting in the loss of his home. Lloyd was subsequently forced to relocate to a run-down neighborhood on Hoover Street, where he struggled to make ends meet.
Tragically, George H. Lloyd's life came to a close on August 15, 1967, at the Veterans Administration Hospital in West Los Angeles. The only person present to bid him farewell was his sole surviving daughter, Georgene Lloyd Kelly.
George H. Lloyd was laid to rest at the Los Angeles National Cemetery in West Los Angeles, a testament to his honorable service as a staff sergeant during World War I. As a veteran, he was entitled to a complimentary burial and headstone at the cemetery of his choice.
In recognition of his wartime achievements, the United States Government presented him with a striking white flat-stone marker, inscribed with his numerous accomplishments during his military service.
