Mr. Floyd was an unsuccessful candidate for chaplain in the house. He returned from Little Rock a week ago and was taken at once with the gout and inflammatory rheumatism, which caused his death five days later. He was 61 and a minister of the Congregational Methodist Church. He left a widow, four sons and a daughter, all grown. His son George arrived from Little Rock a few hours before his father died. Just two years ago George Floyd who was then as now a member of the legislature was called home on account of the death of his wife, arriving a few hours after her death.

Joseph Milton Floyd was born January 18, 1838 in Talladega County, Ala. and died at his home in Belleville, Ark, January 21, 1899. In early manhood he went to Bedford County, Tenn., where he was married to Miss Mary Ann Bennett, who, with four sons and one daughter survive him. He came to Arkansas in 1860 and located near Ozark. In 1861 he enlisted min the Confederate army and served to the close of the war. In 1866 he came to Conway County, where he lived for 20 years. We are not informed as to the date of his connection with the church He was licensed to preach in the M E Church South, in 1872, and ordained deacon in 1877. Until his death no one was more zealous in the cause of Christ His services were in demand far and near, and he always responded most cheerfully, visiting the sick, comforting the dying and counseling the bereaved No one gave more time to the ministry than he. He possessed the power of song in a wonderful degree, often in revivals preaching and leading the singing. Often friends would say to us, "I would love to see your father and hear him sing." But, dear friends, father has ceased singing on earth, and joined the orchestra of heaven to sing forevermore. We will, in the sweet by and by, greet him in that beautiful land, of which he so often sang, and hear that loved voice in clearer, sweeter strains. These words, "Father is not expected to live Come at once," came to us like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and with all possible haste we made our way to Belleville, arriving to find him cold in death. How dear to us now are the promises contained in the Book Devine, and the sweet hope of resurrection. Dear mother, we realize that it will not be long till you, too, are called from earth to meet him you shared the joys and sorrows of earth so long Dear brothers and sister, cheer up, and bear bravely the responsibilities of life, honoring him who so faithfully taught us the way of life. His son. Jos. C. Floyd (WWW.YellCountyObits.org, Submitted by: Bill G. Floyd, Newspaper: Arkansas Methodist, 7-5-1899)
