New York Times obituary, August 17, 1962
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 16 (AP) ---
Dr. Lloyd H. Gaston, president of the Greater New York Hospital Association, died today of Treasure Island Beach. He would have been 52 years old tomorrow.
The police said Dr. Gaston's body was found floating in the Gulf of Mexico. They estimated he had been in the water twenty minutes.
His widow, Edis, said she and Dr. Gaston had been in St. Petersburg since Saturday on a vacation.
Dr. Gaston, of 411 West 114th Street, Manhattan, was also Executive Director of St. Luke's Hospital in New York and a Director of Union Theological Seminary.
JOINED HOSPITAL IN 1945
Dr. Gaston, a Methodist layman, joined St. Luke's, an old Protestant Episcopal institution, in 1945 after World War II service as a surgeon in the United States Public Health Service. He was named executive director of the hospital three years later.
A native of Keyser, W. Va., he attended West Virginia University and the Medical College of Virginia, where he met and married Miss Edis L. Lemley. After an internship at the Youngstown Hospital, he entered private practice in Richland County, Ohio.
Three years later, however, Dr. Gaston turned to the field of public health, taking a post first in Ohio and then in Michigan. He received the degree of Doctor of Public Health at Yale University in 1941.
Dr. Gaston was elected a director of Union Theological Seminary in 1955 and president of the Greater New York Hospital Association, of which he had long been an officer, the next year. The association represents ninety-six voluntary, or non-profit, hospitals.
As chief administrator of St. Luke's, Dr. Gaston helped to raise funds and directed the hospital's expansion into a new $7,250.000, nine-story wing.
In addition to his wife, he leaves a son, Lloyd, and a daughter, Fay.

Lloyd Henry Gaston's son Lloyd Henry Gaston, Jr. is deceased, his burial place is unknown, and no Findagrave memorial has been created for him. He was born December 2, 1929 at Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia and died September 24, 2006 at unknown place, but perhaps in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, where his widow continued to live. Two obituaries of him state:
