Floyd Fingar, of Hudson and Harry Fingar, of West Taghkanic, spent Sunday with their sister, Mrs. Homer Knickerbocker. - The Hudson Evening Register October 28, 1914 page 2

Found him on the 1900 Gallatin, Columbia, New York census (dist 12 img 3) as Floyd A. Fingar age 10, born March 1890.

On his WWI Draft Registration his birth is listed as March 21st 1889.

Floyd Adam Fingar of Blue Store was born in Livingston on March 21st, 1888. His father is William Fingar of North Germantown. His mother died in 1907. When Fingar left the Sixth Street school he became interested in the auto mechanic's trade and worked chiefly at that employment until his selection by the Local Board. On April 2nd, 1918, he became a Private in the American Army and started for Camp Dix, to enter military life. There he served until the following June 10th, 1918, when he received his honorable discharge from the Army. - Columbia County in the World War J. B. Lyon Company, Printers 1924, page 265

The news of the sudden death of Floyd A. Fingar who passed away at the Hudson City Hospital Wednesday last was received in this place with great sadness as he was well-known here. Mr Fingar had been a resident of this village the past few years, where he had a large circle of friends who deeply feel the loss of a friend.

He was employed at the Livingston garage and was a first class workman, kind and generous hearted, and always found great pleasure in doing something to help one else when the opportunity was his to do so. He had been in poor health for some time and at last was advised to have an operation, which he did and had so far recovered as to be able to sit up in a chair and read the newspapers. He was expected home the latter part of the week.

His funeral was held from the Manorton church Saturday afternoon and was largely attended by relatives and friends of the deceased.

He is survived by his father William Fingar, one sister, Mrs Homer Knickerbocker and three brothers, Harry, Percy and Worthy Fingar who have the sympathy of a host of Livingston friends in their sad bereavement. A great many beautiful floral pieces from relatives and friends adorned the casket which showed the high esteem in which he was held. - The Columbia Republican July 25, 1922
