Description
Portrait of Floyd Lee Bauserman as a young man with a pin on his lapel.
Floyd was born in Toms Brook, the first son, third child, of twelve children born to the late Elva Catherine (Senseney) (1902-2003) and Martin Luther (1893-1984) Bauserman.
He graduated from Toms Brook High School in 1943, a class of nine girls and nine boys.
He was a World War II veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving two years, and a lifelong member of the American Legion Post 199 of Woodstock having served as Post Commander and named "Mr. Legionare".
After his military service, Floyd returned to his job at the American Viscose Plant (later known as Avtex Fibers) in Front Royal, and stayed there for more than 46 years.
He married Joanne Mae Nofsinger in Hagerstown, Maryland, in February 1948. His bride was from Strasburg. In the 1950 census, the couple lived on Sharpe Street in Strasburg and had a 1-year old daughter, Connie J. Bauserman. Floyd worked as a “warper” at the viscose plant.
The marriage did not last and they divorced in 1960.
Floyd married again, in 1966, to 22-year old Eunice Frances Butler. She had been born in El Reno, Oklahoma, to Lewis Charles and Isabell Frances (Pearson) Butler. Both Floyd and Eunice worked together as “textile workers”. With Eunice, Floyd had two additional children: a son, Scott Lee Bauserman, and a daughter, Karen Leigh (Bauserman) Estep.
He retired in from Avtex Fibers in 1989 and, according to his obituary, was well-liked and respected by his co-workers, both men and women.
Floyd is buried in Panorama Gardens Memorial Cemetery in Waterlick, Virginia.
