Walter moved his family from GA to Sequoyah Co., OK, in 1911. They lived in a little wooden abode on the outskirts of the town of Hanson. The Floyds were tenant farmers; they rented land and produced cotton, corn and other crops. They moved to nearby Akins about 1915, where the soil provided better crop growth; Walter also worked odd jobs in the off-season in the county and his family were one of the most prosperous families in the are, one of the few to be able to afford an automobile.
