Their home burned in 1969, and they lived with Lloyd's brother Clifford until 1976, when they bought a mobile home and moved it on a country lot north of Elbow Lake. Lloyd and Kathleen enjoyed attending social activities in the community, which included many threshing bees in the area, and family gatherings. They spent several winters in Brownsville, Texas. Kathleen passed away January 12, 2008. Survivors include one brother, Orlin Island of Fergus Falls, and his sister, Gloria Lee of Barrett, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Alma Island, his wife Kathleen, and three brothers, Clifford, Roy and Norlin.
