A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF DELAWARE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, IND.
A.W. Bowen & Co. 1894 - page 622

        JOHN LOSH (deceased) was born in Northumberland county, PA., June
18, 1819, the son of John and Susannah Losh, parents both natives of the
same state. John Losh was reared a farmer and came to Delaware county in
1855, and purchased the farm still in possession of the family, upon which
he resided until his death. He was married November 5, 1840, to Mary
Tompson, daughter of Robert and Matilda Tompson, and became the father of
the following children: Matilda, wife of James Watson; Robert T., died June
21, 1849; Martha, wife of Oliver Carmichael; Wilson, died June 24, 1865;
John F., died June 21, 1885; infant, deceased, and Charles M. Losh, a
resident of the city of Muncie. Mr. Losh was always a hard working man, was
upright and honorable in his dealings, won universal respect and
confidence, and was valued as a substantial and public spirited citizen,
and loved as a friend and neighbor. He departed this life at Eaton Rapids,
Mich., on the 17th day of July, 1880.
        Mrs. Losh was subsequently united in marriage to Aaron Lackey, son
of Joseph and Addie Lackey. Mr. Lackey was born in Butler county, Ohio, in
1821, and has always followed the farmers occupation. He has been a
resident for some years of Monroe township, where he is universally
respected, and as a citizen occupies a conspicuous place in the estimation
of his friends and neighbors. Mrs. Lackey is a highly esteemed lady in the
community in which she resides, and her life has been fraught with kind
words and good deeds. She has indeed been a helpmate, and in the later
years of her life many are the friends that rise up and call her blessed.
Mrs. Lackey has lived in Monroe township continuously since 1841. She and
her former husband settled in the southwest part of this township, where
they cleared a farm from the green. She came to her present place of
residence in 1853.
