1.   Margaret Cusac Loy Poe: obituary, census records and notes (Daniel J Cusac, Andrew John)

“Mrs. Margaret Poe one of the oldest and much respected residents of Hancock County died early Friday morning at the residence of Martin Loy at McComb. The cause of death resulting from the infirmities of old age. Mrs. Poe was born in Perry County, Ohio, February 28, 1818, her maiden name being Cusac. She was married to George E. Loy, of Morrow County in 1840 and coming to Hancock in 1854, settling on the farm known as the Marshall farm two miles east of McComb. On the 20th of Mar 1856 her husband received injuries from a spike which caused his death. To this union were born two sons and three daughters.

On June 29, 1859, she was married to Robert Poe who died in June 1870. To this union were born two sons, Robert Poe and James Poe. She resided upon the farm in Liberty township up to a short time ago, when she removed to McComb. Those present at the bedside when the spirit fled were, her brother Isaac Cusac, her sister, Mrs. M. E. Mulford, of Shawtown, her daughter, Mrs. S. E. Barnhill, of Marion, Iowa, M. A. Loy, R. M. Poe, and Miss Loy of this place. One daughter Mrs. M. E. Fluckey and one son, J. T. Poe having preceeded her to the better world. The end came quietly and peacefully. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, which she joined at the tender age of eleven years, remaining a faithful member and increasing her faith in God up to the time of her death. She leaves besides a host of friends, three brothers, Isaac, James and William Cusac; of this place, two sisters, Mrs. Mary Mulford, of Shawtown, and Mrs. Sarah Reed, of Findlay, two sons, Martin Loy, and R. M Poe of McComb, two daughters Mrs. Sarah Barnhill, of Marion Iowa, and Miss M. E. Loy, of this place. Twenty grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren, mourn her loss.

Funeral services were held at the residence of Martin Loy last Sunday, Rev. Montogmery, of Findlay, officiating. Interment at Indian Green Cemetery.”

      Margaret is buried in row 10, Indian Green Cemetery, Liberty Twp, Hancock Co, OH. She shares a stone with her first husband George E Loy.

      I have a marriage date for Margaret Cusic and George Toy in Marion Co, OH on 27 December 1838 by Rev. Henry Shedd. On the return Margaret’s last name is spelled Cusac. This marriage record can be found in Volume 2, Marion County Marriages,1835 – 1842. I have not seen the actual record, but I would guess that George’s name is really Loy. I would guess that the L looked like a T to the indexer.

      They can be found in the following federal census records:

1840 Morven Twp, Marion Co, OH census p. 78 George L Loy: 1 male 5-10, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 20-30

Note: Morrow County was formed 24 February 1848 from parts of Richland, Knox, Marion, and Delaware counties.

      According to her obituary, Margaret and George had two sons and three daughters. Who were the children living with them in the 1840 census? The children are both too old to be theirs. It seems unusual that were they married 6 years before their first child was born.

      According to his tombstone, George Loy died 27 March 1856. Margaret then married Robert Poe on 30 June1859 in Hancock Co, OH. He was the son of Jacob Poe and Nancy McKinnis. He was born about 1820 and died June 1870 in Hancock Co, OH. I have yet to find a record of his death. Robert is buried in section E, lot 33, Maple Grove Cemetery, Findlay, Hancock Co, OH. Margaret and Robert had two children: Robert Meeks Poe and James T Poe.

5.   Melissa Loy obituary, death, and census records (Margaret Cusac, Daniel J, Andrew John)

            “MISS MELISSA LOY.

Miss Melissa Loy, 72 years old, passed away at the home of her nephew, Frank Loy of McComb, yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock from complication of diseases, which she had been suffering with for several months.

A neice, Mrs. Roy Moore of McComb, and a nephew, Frank Loy, also of McComb, are the only survivors. The deceased was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian church.

Funeral services will be held from the home Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. L. F. Cooper, pastor of the church, will officiate. Burial to be made in the Indian Green cemetery.”

                  Morning Republican (Findlay, OH) 17 November 1921 p. 10

      I am not sure who “Mrs. Roy Moore” is. I believe this may be Eva L Loy the daughter of Martin and Sarah Jane (Fockler) Loy. In her parent’s obituaries Eva is listed as “Mrs. P. O. Schneider, of McComb” and “Mrs. Oscar Schneider, of McComb”. She was divorced by the time of the1920 census and appears as Eva L Loy, 30. In her brother Hollis’ obituary in 1940 she is listed as “Mrs. Eva Kalen, St. Louis, Mo.”  Could Eva have been married to a Roy Moore sometime after the 1920 census and before1940?  

      Note: I did find a Francis Roy Moore living in Pleasant Twp, Hancock Co, OH. His first wife Emma L Wineland died in 1915. He is living alone during the1920 census and he died in 1924.

      I believe that the Cora M Fluckey above is the daughter of George W and Mary E (Loy) Fluckey.

      I believe that she is their first-born child. I believe that the Ethel Fluckey is the daughter of George W and his second wife Mary E (Mateer) Fluckey. The 1900 census shows that Mary (Mateer) Fluckey had only one child and that child died before the 1900 census.

      I believe that the MMF marker is for Mary Mateer Fluckey and the GWF marker is for George W Fluckey.
