Death of John George Loy. We are informed by letter that John George Loy, one of the founders of Chaska, who settled here in 1853, died at his home at Spokane Falls, Washington, of typhoid pneumonia, on December 28th, 1893, aged 71. Deceased resided in the place from the time he settled here in 1853, until the year 1882, when he moved to Brainerd. He was one of the best known of our old settlers, and but for a number of unfortunate law suits would still have been one of our prosperous citizens. He leaves a wife and several sons, and all occupying prominent positions in business circles, in Minnesota, N. D., and Washington. We will give a more detailed sketch of his entire eventful career in our next issue. (The Weekly Valley Herald, Thursday, January 4, 1894, Page 1)
