On June 19, 1907, Lloyd/Loyd Crouch, the son of Joseph and (Rebecca Petro/Pedro) Crouch, married Maymie/Mayme Belcher, the daughter of Joseph A. and Minnie Belcher. In 1910, Joseph and Mayme were enumerated together at 1313 Charles Street in Indianapolis. He reportedly worked as a salesman in a liquor house and Mayme as a saleswoman in a millinery. They had no children. Ten years later, in 1920, Mayme was living with her 5-year-old son at the home of her parents in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. It was noted that she was a widow. But was she? In a family tree available on Ancestry, it is noted that Lloyd/Loyd died about 1920 and was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. According to the first edition index to Rose Hill Cemetery in my library, I could not verify Lloyd's burial at Rose Hill or elsewhere in Monroe County. On the other hand, efforts to locate him in census records for 1920, 1930 and 1940 have been unsuccessful. He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. But he wasn't dead. In 1942, as required by law, he registered for the draft. At that time he was living with Weber Crouch at 448 S. Meridian Street. He was 60 years old; Weber was 56. He reportedly was born in Brown County, Indiana, on August 5, 1881. In 1910, Rebecca Crouch, the widow of Joseph Crouch and Lloyd's mother, died. Among those children noted as her survivors were Lloyd and Webber (sic) Crouch. So the Weber who resided with Loyd at 448 S. Meridian can be identified as a brother, and Lloyd/Loyd Crouch as one and the same individual who was married Mayme. The draft registration is the last evidence I can find of Lloyd/Loyd. My reason for researching Lloyd/Loyd and Mayme (Belcher) Crouch is to write a brief history of their son, Joseph, born in 1914, who married Thelma Vonderschmitt, the daughter of Harry Vonderschmitt, the owner of the Indiana and VonLee theatres. Joseph was a successful businessman, a pioneer and developer in the evolution of coin-operated laundry facilities in Bloomington and a property owner/manager of numerous real estate holdings. He left behind a number of letters written to his mother now among the collections of the Monroe County History Center and an oral interview from 1998 at the Center for the Study of History and Memory at Indiana University. If anyone, maybe someone who has access to Indianapolis City Directories, can shed more light on Lloyd/Loyd, it would be most appreciated.
