     Thomas T. and Milton B. Loy, attorneys at law of Stockton,
Mo., are natives of Cedar County, Mo., born in 1854 and 1859, 
respectively, and are the sons of Thomas and Sarah (Turner) Loy.
In the latter part of the eighteenth century, Thomas Loy, the 
grandfather of our subjects, came from England and settled in 
the State of North Carolina, and about 1815 or 1820 removed to
Adair County, Ky., bringing with him his son Thomas, who was born
in North Carolina in 1811.  The latter was married in that State
in 1832, and in 1848 came to Cedar County, Mo., and in the latter
year started out for the gold fields of California, but was taken 
sick with cholera and taken in Independence, Mo., where he was
cared for until his recovery.  He then returned to his family 
in Cedar County, and bought 200 acres of land, on which he 
settled and passed the remainder of his life, dying in July, 1884.
His wife was born in Virginia in 1815, and is yet living, being 
the mother of six children: Louisa, wife of T. N. Hill; Mary E.,
wife of J. E. Hartley, president of the Stockton Exchange Bank;
Jennie, wife of Nathaniel Jones; Georgia Ann, wife of W. D. Love; 
Thomas T., and Milton B. the last two named received their 
rudimentary education in the common schools, and were reared 
to manhood on their father's farm.  At the age of twenty-two 
years Thomas T. began teaching school, which occupation he followed
four terms, and then entered the law department of the State 
University at Columbia, Mo., from which institution he graduated
in 1880.  He then formed a partnership with R. F. Buler, of 
Carthage, with whom he has since remained associated, Mr. Buler
having charge of the practice at Carthage, and he at Stockton.
December 12, 1880, he was married to Miss Emma Wells, who was 
born in Cedar County, Mo., in 1861.  They have two children: 
Carroll G. and Alice E.  Milton B. Loy commenced teaching school
at the age of eighteen years, and in 1879 began attending the 
Commercial Business College of Keokuk, Iowa, and in the winter
of 1879 and 1880 attended the Literary Department of the State
University.  In the latter year he became a disciple of 
Blackstone in the office of Judge D. P. Stratton, of Nevada, 
and was admitted to the bar the same year, but, upon the 
organization of the Stockton Exchange Bank, he was elected cashier,
and filled the position very ably for five years.  Since October,
1887, he and his brother Thomas T. have been law partners, and
are enterprising and successful members of the legal fraternity.
They are well posted, social, courteous, and have many warm 
personal friends.  They are Democrats, and members of the Masonic 
Order, Stockton Lodge No. 283, Royal Arch Chapter No. 70, and 
Constantine Commandery No. 27, at Greenfield.  They also belong 
to the Knights of Pythias Lodge No. 103.  May 9, 1880, Milton B.
was married to Miss Lurah D., a daughter of J. E. Hartley.  
She was born in Missouri, in February, 1864, and she and Mr. Loy
have one son, Walter M.  His wife, as well as his brother's wife
are members of the Christian Church.
