Author:  "Atlas and Directory of Medina County, Ohio", by the American Atlas Company, 1897.  

Phinney, L. H., is one of the pioneers of Lafayette township, having come 
there with his parents in the fall of 1856. He owns a fine farm of ninety 
acres, has a good home and is recognized as one of the leading citizens of his 
locality.  He was born in Oneida county, N.Y., July 23, 1833.  His education 
is the best afforded by the common schools.  His wife, who was Miss Caroline 
Row, was born August 7, 1845, in Vevay, Switzerland county, Ind., and was 
married to our subject in 1865. Two children have been born to them, both of 
whom are living.  Mr. Phinney belongs to the Congregational church and Mrs. 
Phinney to the Baptist, and both are active church workers.  Mr. P's portrait 
appears in this work upon the page of Lafayette citizens. They are one of the 
most prosperous and enterprising families of their township. 
 

Additional Comments:
On July 20, 1863, Loring volunteered and joined the Seventy-ninth Battalion, C 
Company of the Ohio National Guard. He volunteered to serve five years.  This 
Company was made up of eighty-five volunteers from Lafayette Township and 
surrounding areas.  It included two of Loring's cousins, Hamilton M. Blair and 
Lewis H. Blair.  This was a State Militia for the protection of Ohio.
