(From Norman Lounsberry's obit)
Norman Lounsbury was born May 7, 1815, in Nichols. He went to school until he was eighteen years of age. He resided on the farm with his father Benj. Lounsbury, and was engaged in the lumbering business until he was twenty-one years of age. Sept. 9, 1836, he was united in marriage with Louisa Olmsted, daughter of Joshua Olmsted, of Nichols, and commenced keeping house on a farm in the town of Nichols, two miles south of Tioga Centre, owned by his father, where he stayed about three years. He then bought the Ezra Canfield farm, now owned by Samuel Smith, lived thereon thirteen years, and then sold it. He removed on the farm now occupied by Wm. Lounsbury, Jr., which he had leased, and he stayed there one year. In 1846, he bought and moved upon the farm now owned by James Lounsbury's heirs. He erected buildings and improved his farm, residing thereon several years. He was a well-to-do farmer with ample means, and ranked with the leading citizens of the town. He was a Republican in politics, and during his life held the offices of Justice of the Peace and Town Clerk for several years. He also represented his town as a Supervisor, 1856 and 1857. He separated from his wife, in 1865, and sold his farm.
Louisa Lounsbury, his wife, died in Nichols, Nov. 2, 1885. His family consisted of five children, three sons and two daughters, who are well educated, respected, and honorable citizens. One son, Jay Lounsbury, is a wealthy resident of Menomonie, Mich. Libbie Lounsbury, a daughter, resides in New York. Allen Lounsbury resides in South Waverly. Norman Lounsbury, Jr., is dead. Louisa Lounsbury, another daughter, married Prof. L. J. Boeck, formerly Principal of the Owego Academy. They now reside in Philadelphia.
