Lloyd was born October 26, 1915, to Joseph and Amelia (Hovel) Indra, on a farm west of Osage. He helped on the family farm until 1943, when he entered the U.S. Army in Camp Fannin, Texas. There, he specialized in telephone communications. He was sent overseas in 1944 to New Guinea, in the South Pacific.

When Japan surrendered, Lloyd was sent to South Korea for occupation duty, before coming home in 1946. He then farmed and worked as an electrician for Arnie Bartsch and Bill Nack. In 1955, he became self-employed as an electrician. Lloyd was a life member of Osage V.F.W. Post 7920.
Lloyd is survived by his brother, John Indra of Osage; and numerous cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and a sister, Leona Indra.
