Floyd Caldwell Bagley (March 20, 1922 – December 5, 2002) was a U.S. Marine, as well as a lawyer and Democratic politician who served as town attorney for Dumfries, Virginia and later, part-time, five terms in the Virginia General Assembly representing Prince William County, Virginia, although his district's configuration and number changed during his tenure.
Born in Gardiner, Maine, Bagby attended American University and received an LLB degree from its Washington College of Law.
He married Beverley Victoria Sularz (1916-2012), and they had two daughters and a son (Floyd Almer Bagley II, nicknamed "Spud" who died in 1970).
Bagley volunteered to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps as World War II began, and served twenty years, retiring in 1959 after the Korean War from a posting at headquarters. He attended American University's Washington College of Law.
After 11 years as a civilian, Bagley re-enlisted around the time of his son Spud's death. Bagley served from 1970 until 1972 as a judge advocate general (military judge) at Quantico Marine Base. After his final retirement (with the rank of Captain), Bagley remained active in the American Legion, Forty and Eight (an elite group within the American Legion),Veterans of Foreign Wars and Marine Corps League, as well as a judge advocate with the Virginia American Legion, 3rd Marine Division Association and National Sojourners.
For six of the eleven years between Bagley's service as a Marine Corps attorney and as a military judge, he was town attorney for Dumfries, Virginia. He helped organize the Local Government Attorneys of Virginia association (and served as its director), and was active in the Virginia Bar Association, Prince William Bar Association and Delta Theta Phi law fraternity. He also owned the "Potomac News" for a time and led the Eastern Prince William Chamber of Commerce for a term. Other memberships included Masons (Alexandria Scottish Rite) and Acca Temple Shrine.
