SAMUEL GALLOWAY Samuel Galloway was born of Scotch-Irish stock in 1811 at Gettysburg, Pa., and died at Columbus in 1872. He graduated with distinguished honor at Miami University in 1833; was for a time a professor there and at South Hanover, Indiana; later was admitted to the bar at Chillicothe; where he became a partner of Nathaniel Massie. In 1843, being chosen secretary of State, he removed to Columbus. In the session of 1854-5 he represented the Columbus district in Congress, being elected by the Republicans. His speech there on the Kansas bill was a theme for widespread eulogy, alike in this country and in Europe. During the war he was judge advocate for the examination of the prisoners at Camp Chase, and was in constant private correspondence with Mr. Lincoln, who set a high value upon his advice and statesmanlike qualities. He was the trustee for several of the State benevolent institutions and took a prominent part in the councils of the Old-school Presbyterian church. As a lawyer, he had great power with a jury, and in wit and humor on the politic arena he had scarcely an equal anywhere. His reputation in this respect was late in life a source of regret to him, as the same was with Thomas Corwin. Both gentlemen found that the gathering crowds when they spoke came to be amused rather than instructed, which each in turn experienced was an injury to his reputation for the possession of the solid qualities of mind and character which along can bring respect and confidence. -- ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Sun, 7 Feb 1999 23:34:26, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: HOUCK BORUFF - Indiana INDIANA WORLD WAR RECORDS - GOLD STAR HONOR ROLL 1914-1918 Indiana Historical Commission 1921, page 254 BORUFF, HOUCK Private Son of Henry and Emma Boruff; born February, 1887 (day of month not given) Union County, Tenn.

A.W. Bowen & Co. 1894, page 662-663 JOHN LOSH is a native of Licking county, Ohio, and dates his birth from the year 1832. His parents, Adam and Elizabeth (Minick) Losh, were born in Northumberland county, Pa., and in an early day emigrated to Ohio, settling in Licking county about 1830, where the father followed the trade of carpentering for a period of twelve years, moving, at the end of that time, to Delaware county, Ind., where, in addition to his chosen calling, he was for sometime engaged in agricultural pursuits. After a residence of twenty-five years in this part of the state, he removed to the county of Wayne, Ills., where he engaged in farming and where his and his wife's deaths subsequently occurred. John Losh passed his youth on his father's farm, with the rugged usuages of which he early became familiar, and left the parental roof at the age of eighteen and found employment on a farm in Licking county, Ohio, and lived in that part of the state until his removal to Clermont county, Ohio, where he remained for a period of three years. Going thence to Lima, Ohio, he found employment at various occupations, and subsequently removed to Delaware county, Ind., locating in Washington township where he engaged in farming. In February, 1865, he entered the army, enlisted for one year, during the war, in company D, Forty-seventh Indiana volunteer infantry, with which he served until honorably discharged August 4th of the same year. Although to the front but a short time, he experienced, in all of its reality, many of the vicissitudes of war, having undergone some very hard service, at one time being compelled to go seven days without food, the effect of which was to render him greatly disabled. From ailments contracted while in the army, he has never entirely recovered, and like many other brave men who went forth to do battle for the national Union,he is now remembered by a grateful country with a liberal pension of $30 per month. On leaving the army, Mr. Losh returned to Indiana and engaged in blacksmithing at New Corner, the present sight of Gaston, Washington township, where he carried on the trade successfully until about 1880. During the succeeding four years he was employed in carrying the mail between different points, but for some time has been living a retired life in Camack Station, Mount Pleasant township, where he owns a pleasant home,in which his declining years are being spent in quiet and content. Mrs. Losh was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, in the year 1829, and is the mother of the following children: Andrew, Joseph and Noah Losh. Religiously, Mr. Losh is a member of the church known as the Christian Connection, while the United Brethren denomination represents the creed in which Mrs. Losh is a firm believer. In politics, Mr. Losh supports the principles of the republican party, but has never been a partisan in the sense of seeking official position. He belongs to that large and eminently respectable class of people who by their actions, rather than by loud professions, have been such important factors in building up and maintaining the well being of the community. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #83 ******************************************
