Rev. DAVID LOYND, Second Cabin Passenger

[No Picture Provided]

Reverend David Loynd, 51, was born 12 November 1862 at 157 Park Street in Bolton, England.  His father William was a cotton spinner.  By 1903, David had met Alice Grimshaw who was from the Tottington area and they were married at the Bury Baptist Church.

Loynd did missionary work in Indiana among other places.  When the ship was struck David and Alice got into a lifeboat with Albert and Gladys Bilicke, which spilled as it was being lowered.

Alice wrote a long letter to her family which was found on her body.  A copy is on file at the Cunard Archives, Liverpool University.
