Lloyd Mahon Graham was born in Colchester County, Nova Scotia, Canada on the 24th of November 1889. He was the youngest of nine children. His siblings included: Zaidable (Ida), Bessie Ella, Agnes May (Maggie), William Aubrey (Willie), Harry, Alden, Bertie and Maud. Two of the siblings, William and Maud, died in childhood.
Lloyd's parents, George Graham and Mathilda Green Graham were farmers, and Lloyd grew up on a farm in the rural district of Upper Londonderry, near Belmont in Nova Scotia.
In July of 1918, Lloyd was drafted by the Canadian Expeditionary Forces at Camp Aldershot, Nova Scotia. He was discharged in November, 1918, "by reason of being a railway employee" (complete military file available on Fold3.com).
Lloyd visited New York in the summer of 1918 and returned again in December 1918 after his discharge from the Canadian Armed Forces.
The 1940 U.S. Census records Lloyd living in Manhattan on West 88th Street. The census also notes that he is a college graduate, works in private practice, and describes himself as a metaphysician (metaphysics is defined as a branch of philosophy that examines the fundamental nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, between substance and attribute, and between potentiality and actuality.)
Lloyd registered for the draft of WWII in 1942 when he was 52 years old. It is noted that he is employed as a freelance artist. He is described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall with brown hair, brown eyes, and a light complexion.
