The materials also depict him performing in factory choirs and as a cast member of the Flint Community Players. The materials include photographs, pamphlets and newspaper clippings.

Lloyd Tyson was born about 1912 in Flint, Michigan to George Tyson, a factory worker, and his wife Genia (Jenice). Lloyd had three brothers and lived with his family at 524 Mathewson Street. He was active in high school, where he graduated from Central High. In addition to playing the fleugel horns in the band, he was also an assistant editor for the yearbook and participated in theater, student council, the Belle Masque Club, the Hi-Y Club, and Delta Epsilon Alpha. On April 7, 1938, Lloyd married Ilene Smith of Coldwater, Michigan. They had a son named Dale.
