Biographical Text

Henry Demarest Lloyd was a investigative journalist and social reformer. He began work as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune from 1872-1885, where he opposed the Standard Oil Trust. He was fired from the Tribune by his father-in-law, the editor, who also disinherited Lloyd and his wife. He then devoted himself to public affairs, emphasizing the rights of laborers and consumers. A friend of Florence Kelley, Lloyd and his wife cared for her three children while Kelley worked at Hull-House. In the 1890s, Lloyd traveled Europe, Australia and New Zealand researching democratic societies and focusing on the lives of immigrants. Lloyd sympathized with the Socialist Party, but never registered as a member.

Lloyd married Jessie Bross in 1873. They had four sons: William Bross, Henry, Demarest, and John. He died on September 28, 1903.
