J. W. LOSEY, of the law firm of Cameron, Losey & Bunn, was born in Honesdale, 
Penn., Dec. 30, 1834; the son of Dr. Ebenezer T. and Mrs. Lucy M. Losey. His 
youth was passed in Honesdale attending the academy and preparing for the 
active duties of life, and entered Amherst College in 1853. He remained there 
until November, 1855, and after a brief canvass of the advantages afforded at 
other points, located at La Crosse in May, 1856, where he studied law in the 
office of Denison & Lyndes. In October, 1857, he was admitted to the bar, at 
the election in November following was chosen to the office of District 
Attorney, being re-elected in 1859, and City Attorney in 1860. Upon the 
dissolution of the firm of Denison & Lyndes by the murder of Mr. Denison, Mr. 
Losey became the junior partner, and this partnership continued until 1861, 
when the firm of Cameron & Losey was established, and has been since 
maintained. As a lawyer, Mr. Losey is esteemed one of the ablest in Wisconsin, 
and as an advocate, one of surpassing power and persuasive eloquence. As a 
citizen, he has been identified with the growth of La Crosse from the date of 
his advent here, and no work of importance or otherwise, calculated to benefit 
the city or promote its growth, but enlists his attention, services and aid. 
He has served the city in its Board of Aldermen for twelve years, and endowing 
every meritorious enterprise sought to be accomplished with the energy and 
ability which are parts of his composition, he never fails to achieve for 
himself and his constituents the most desirable of successes. In September, 
1859, he was married to Miss Florence T. Lehman, of La Crosse.
