Michael Loy began his education in a hewed log schoolhouse, and, after aquiring a fair district school education, followed farming until his marriage in 1849 to Abigail Evans, after which he turned his attention to brick making. From 1851 to 1858 he cultivated a rented farm, and after moving to his own 45 acres in 1858, he often cultivated other rented land as well.
Michael enlisted in the Union Army on May 2, 1864, at the age of 36, at Union City, Ohio. He was enrolled in Company D, 152nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under Capt. Creveston. This was a Darke County unit of the Ohio National Guard that was mobilized for 120 days, for May through August 1864. While encamped at Martinsburg, West Virginia, the 152nd was ordered to accompany a wagon train to Gen. Hunter, which was ultimately a march of 430 miles, ending in Beverly, WV. They first marched to Winchester, Virginia, and up the Valley, through Strasburg, Woodstock, Edinburg, New Market, Harrisonburg, Staunton, and then to Lexington, where they destroyed much of the facilities of the Virginia Military Institute; they seized a statue of George Washington there which was sent to West Point. They saw action at Greenbrier Gap on June 22, and went to Cumberland, MD.,where they saw duty along Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and at Cumberland until August 25. Michael remained in active service until the company was mustered out at Camp Dennison, Ohio, on September 2,1864.
After the War, he was an honored member of the McPherson Post of the GAR. He served eight years as a school director, and was a consistent member of the Reformed Church in which he served as Deacon.
Michael died of gangrene of the leg in 1916.
