T.J. Losey Memorial

Columbus, KS | Cherokee County

Take a seat on a bench as you admire the detail on the larger-than-life monument to Thomas J. Losey (1846-1936), a member of the 14th Kansas Cavalry during the Civil War. The memorial features a statue of Losey dressed in uniform with a sword on his belt and holding a rifle. A tree theme runs through the elaborate Losey monument extending to the benches and chairs that surround the family plot. T.J. lived to age 89, but his family died young—wife Flora Bell at age 47 and their two daughters as young children. The cut-off branches on the sculpted tree stump symbolize life cut short.
