====== John Uri Lloyd ======

John Uri Lloyd was born in [[1849]]. His family moved to [[Florence]] when he was a small child. He was an eye-witness to the [[Civil War]] skirmish in Florence, which affected him through life. He became an apprentice in a pharmacy at about age 14 and soon memorized the entire pharmacopeia, in Latin, though he had little formal schooling. 

After becoming a pharmaceutical manufacturer he would write while his kettles boiled, and finished a number of novels in this manner. One of the most well-known is //[[Etidorhpa]]// published in [[1895]]. (The title is Aphrodite spelled backwards.) He also published a series about Florence, beginning with //[[Stringtown on the Pike]]// published in 1900. Of this series //Warwick of the Knobs// (1901) is often considered to be the best. He also published "Sam Hill Stories" in local periodicals, and these have been collected. 

Lloyd died in 1936 and is buried in [[Hopeful Lutheran Church Cemetery]] in Florence.
