C.
PRESTON FLOYD, whose name appears on the roster
of the city of Dayton as city clerk and clerk of the
council, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, June 26, 1872,
and came to Dayton in 1880. Here he acquired his
education in the public schools and entered business
life as a commercial traveler, remaining on the road for
ten years. At the expiration of that period he
became a factor in official service in Dayton, entering
the county recorder's office as deputy in 1900 and
serving until 1903 when he was elected to his present
position by the city council. Systematic,
accurate, methodical, prompt and faithful, the qualities
which he displays in his official service have won him
high commendation.
In 1902 Mr. Floyd was united in marriage in
Dayton to Miss Alice Beachem and they have an
attractive home whose hospitality is enjoyed by the
large circle of friends. Mr. Floyd is well
known in fraternal circles, being connected with the
Masons, the Knights of Pythias and the Elks. In
politics he has always been a stalwart republican and is
one of the active and effective workers in the ranks of
the party. |
