Administrative History
Jane “Janie” Swann Floyd (1882-1947), born to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred R. Swann of Dandridge, Tennessee, lived in Atlanta, Georgia, from 1903 until her death in 1947. Mrs. Floyd, wife of civic leader James S. Floyd, was a member of the Peachtree Garden Club and the First Baptist Church, and was known for her charitable contributions to underprivileged families in Highlands, North Carolina, where the Floyd family maintained a second home. Her daughter, Frances Floyd Cocke (1907-2008), a native Atlantan and arts benefactress, was married to Emory L. Cocke (1898-1980).
