Tombstone Tuesday - November 27, 2012

Frank Losee

Frank Losee was born on November 30, 1888. He was the 5^th child born to Newton and Nellie (Best) Losee. It is my belief that Frank never married. He signed up for the Draft for WW1 but I do not find evidence that he served in the war. I find him living with his mother in both the 1910 and 1920 Federal Census. His occupation in 1910 is a labor in the auto industry and in 1920 he is listed as a trucker for the same industry. Frank is living with his sister Gladys and brother in law, Robert Barkham in the 1930 and 1940 Federal Census. His occupation is still listed as a laborer in the Auto industry.Frank Losee died on November 29, 1946 at the age of 58.

Tombstone Tuesday - November 13, 2012

This post is a Veteran's Day post and a early Tombstone Tuesday post all rolled into one.  All but two  of these veterans are from my family and those two are friends of our family.  They have all honored us by serving in our military and today we say "Thanks" to them. I do not have photos of all the graves. This will serve as a reminder for me to get the rest of them.
