Loughridge Family Introduction

 

Abram Loughridge was born in Ogle County, Illinois in 1850. He was the son of Abraham and Margaret Linn Loughridge. The year he was born, his father died of a brain fever. The year 1850 must have been a devastating year for Margaret. She was left with no husband, gained a new son, and had to worry about the other children.

Abram Loughridge met and married Marietta Sturdevant in 1872. Marietta was born on 25 Jan 1852 at Ashtabula County, Ohio. They lived at West Side, Crawford County, Iowa for the first few years of their marriage. They lived on a well established farm where Abram was a lumber dealer. The 1880 U.S. Census listed Abram, age 29; Marietta, age 28; and children, Ada, age 6; Edna, age 4; Orlin, age 2; Jessie (my grandmother), age 11 months

He died on 25 July 1930 and was buried in the Northtown cemetery in McAlester beside his first wife and the mother of his children. Marietta died 17 Jan 1912. Abram and Marietta raised six children. They in turn, gave them twenty-two grandchildren and a multitude of descendents scattered across the United States.
