He comes from the old Kentucky family bearing that name and was a son of Rev. Joshua and Margaret (Harper) Brooks, both natives of Hart County, where they grew to maturity and were married. From early boyhood until he was 27 years of age, his life was spent in the hard work of the farm. In 1864 he enlisted in Company D, 60th Reg. Illinois Vol. Inf., at Mount Vernon, Illinois.

After the war, Mr. Brooks returned to Southern Illinois, and January 1, 1869 was married to Lucinda West, a native of Kentucky. To this union were born eight children, as follows: Merritt L., Lillie Ann, Tanserd, Grace, Mary, Rhoda, Hester and Arthur. In the fall of 1870, Floyd W. Brooks came to Kansas, driving through the country with horses and wagon and completing the journey in five weeks. He located on the farm of 80 acres in Sheridan Township, Cherokee County. Besides being a farmer, Mr. Brooks was a carpenter by trade, and had done a great deal of that work in various parts of the county.
