General Notes: Husband - Jacob S. Loucks


He obtained what education the subscription schools of that day afforded, and remained on the home farm until he attained his majority. In 1854 he moved to the old Snyder farm in the south of Scottdale. In political relations Mr. Loucks was a staunch Republican, was interested in all local affairs, and held many elective offices in the borough. His family were regular attendants of the Mennonite church at Scottdale, of which he was one of the trustees.
He and his wife had eleven children, two of whom died in infancy.

He was reared on the old Loucks homestead, and educated in the common schools of the neighborhood. He turned his attention to farming, which occupation he followed with a large degree of success throughout the active years of his life. In addition to this he was one of the promoters and partners of the lumber manufacturing firm of Loucks, Larimer & Co., who owned the first planing mill established in Scottdale. He also owned and operated a feed store for a number of years, and later he and Albert Keister established a feed and flour business, they manufacturing the latter commodity. He was one of the promoters of the Electric Light plant of Scottdale, a stockholder and director of the First National Bank of Scottdale, and also a large stockholder in the old Meadow rolling mill. He also laid out and had platted about one-third of the borough of Scottdale, and in many ways aided in its growth and development. He served as a member of the school board, and was one of the leading members of the Mennonite church, of which he was a trustee, and to the work of which he contributed liberally both of time and money, being largely instrumental in the erection of the church edifice at Scottdale.
