1920 |
Fort Kent, Aroostook, ME |
- On the 1920 Census he is listed as 3 yrs. old.
Rocky was sent to a sanitarium in Maine at 4 yrs. old (1920) with Polio & TB for 9 years (1929), he had 2 cysts on his shoulders which discharged fluid (per sister Jerrie) He was hunchbacked for the rest of his life.
My research shows that spinal tuberculosis has all of these symptoms.
Note: see article below from 1941 saying he said he was crippled from an attack of infantile paralysis (polio). I never considered my Uncle Rocky 'crippled' he could move, drive, roller skate & laugh with the best of us.

Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA |
- On the 1950 census there is a Robert Lozier, 33 yrs. old born in ME, single, lodger, cook in restaurant & after doing serious research I found no Robert Lozier born in Maine about 1916-1917 & this person fits my Uncle Rocky Lozier born in 1916 in Maine & was living in Reno, NV on his WWII application & there is a notation that his address changed to Atlantic Hotel in Los Angeles, CA (no date) so I am 99-100% sure that this is my Uncle Rocky.
Also I believe he was out there because his younger brother Richard Lozier was in the Navy & may have been stationed in Los Angeles, CA

| Notes |
- He never married. His passion was painting & enjoying people; he visited our house often when we were growing up & always made us laugh; I was given two of his paintings which I display proudly in my home; the Board of Education in Bristol was given one of his paintings by him when he retired from the school system in the 1990's; they have it hanging in the Board of Ed. office in Bristol, CT.
He used to come to New Haven, CT in his little red convertible car & take me & my sister roller skating; he came once & stayed a while & painted our rooms (all blue, my mother wasn't happy) but I helped him & he made me memorize a poem about 'when maidens such as Hester die..' which I found online years later.

 | Painting 'Country Road' by Rocky Lozier
After visiting Woodland, ME & being told by the town hall that my great-uncles, William & Arthur McGough, lived up a country road now called 'Gough Rd' just next to the town hall but there was nothing left up there but footings for where the house was, I believed that this painting was done by my Uncle Rocky when he was up there visiting on his many trips to ME. |
