LEO LOSIE, farmer, section 26, Deerfield tp., is the son of John and Eleanor 
(Waite) Losie.  The father 

was a native of Canada, and the mother of New Brunswick.  In 1861 the family 
removed to Port Huron, Mich., 

where the mother is living.  Her husband died in the summer of 1865.

Mr. Losie was born in Canada, June 18, 1828, and ws resident there until 1863, 
in the winter of which year 

he settled in Mecosta County and "took up" 40 acres of land in Deerfield 
Township.  His log-house home and 

laborious efforts in clearing the forest to make way for the support and 
advancement of himself and 

family, though the same trite experience so often recounted, is no less the 
strong central point in his 

career because it has a counterpart in so many personal histories.

Mr. Losie was married in Canada, Nov. 8, 1853, to Esther, daughter of Ephraim 
and Sarah (Roszell) Burss, 

natives of Canada.  They afterward settled in Allegan Co., Mich., where the 
father died.  Her mother 

resides with a daughter, Mrs. Henry Mills, of Deerfield Tp.  Of this marriage 
seven children have been 

born. recorded as follows:  Asenath A. born April 15, '58; Bertha A., July 
17 '60; Lizanna A., Oct. 29, 

'62; Elon A., March 16, '65; Earl J., May 7, '67; Sarah E., Sept. 21, '54 
(died Aug. 15, '58); John E., 

March 3, '56 (died Aug 21, '58).  The deaths occurred but six days apart.

Mr. and Mrs. Losie are members of the Baptist Church, and in politics he is a 
Republican.
