Guess they just swallowed their grief.

Floyd the Barber was the slow-paced, somewhat absent-minded barber in the series' fictional town of Mayberry. He was born and raised in Mayberry, having descended from one of the town's original settlers, Daniel Lawson.

Andy probably or possibly didn't meet and marry Opie's mother until the mid to late 1950s, years after his high school romances.

Maybe the reason Andy stopped carrying a gun ties in with it all?

In the early days of Andy's law career, he cleaned up the mean street of Mayberry. He with a big stick and rifle in hand, rid Mayberry of the bootleg cartels (Otis was Andy's stool pigeon) but the peace of Mayberry came at the cost of Andy's wife. After the Mayberry bootleg wars was over, all the grateful Mayberry citizens took a solemn vow to never speak about the great and terrible cost of peace.

He certainly went to maximum pains to not hurt her feelings about her awful pickles. Enough for a kid to think they're married.

So Andy was basically Buford T. Pusser of "Walking Tall."

Far fetched but possible.

Aunt Bee sure would have had to look the other way with all the chicks Andy was constantly attracting.

Floyd's nephew Warren Ferguson was from Boston.

Floyd's sister married a Yankee and moved to New England?

[ThisLittlePiggy]

Yes, I do believe Floyd's sister married a Yankee and moved up North.

Yes, according to a comment from Warren.
