At the age of 16 he shipped with his father who was an old sailor, on a whaling voyage, harpooning two whales before he was 17. During this voyage he visited China, Japan and the Sandwich Islands and was promoted to boat-steerer. From the position of a steerer he rapidly arose to the position of captain and subsequently became largely identified in the purchase of vessels. In the fall of 1846 he made Milwaukee his headquarters; in 1847 he built the schooner Lawrence, at a cost of $12,000, and the following year he exchanged one third of the vessel for a comfortable home near Waukesha and sold the remaining share to Daniel Newhall.

He was born in Philadelphia in April, 1840, and entered the army of volunteers when the first call was made for 75,000 men to serve two years if the rebellion was not put down in less time. He enlisted in Co. K, Third Pennsylvania reserves, on May 27, 1861. He fought through the Peninsular campaign and there was in the Manassas campaign where he fought in the second battle of Bull Run and in the battle of Antietam.
After this he was transferred with a number of others to the regular army at Washington to serve three years and was assigned to Battery Three, U. S. light artillery. After this he fought in the battle of South Mountain and Gettysburg and went to New York to aid in putting down the draft riot. Fought after this in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House and Cold Harbor.

Death of Mrs. Margaretha Loos Passes away in her 96th year
The death of Mrs. Margaretha Loos at the home of her son Fred Loos, in this village, Monday, May 6, marked the passing away of a pioneer woman of this locality whose span of life exceeded that of any other in her generation. The deceased was born in Walduelshein, Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, September 1, 1811. Her advent into this world came at a time when many romantic incidents in history were being chronicled. The soldiers of two great nations, it is said, stood by her cradle. It was at the time that Napoleon's army was marching on to Moscow and upon their disastrous retreat they fled through the village of her birth and some of them found lodging at her parents home. She was a year old when the United States had its war of 1812 with Great Britain. Her name in childhood was Schmidt. In 1829 she married Jacob Loos and in 1845 the couple emigrated in America, settling in the town of Germantown. Her husband died in 1875. Four children, two sons and two daughters now survive her: J. R. Loos and Mrs. Rippel of Appleton, WI and Katherine Stark and Frederick Loos of Menomonee Falls. She is also survived by nine grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. Since her husband¢s death she made her home with her son Frederick, and all through her declining years his family has been devoted in their care of this aged woman. Of recent years she was quite feeble and had to be cared for constantly. Her memory was excellent despite her age and she could recall with much vividness the days of her childhood and the stirring scenes when history was being made by the invincible warrior, (transcribed by Julie Hubler)
