His boyhood was spent on the farm, which contributed largely to his splendid physique and his courtly bearing. A public school education supplemented by a course of instruction at Hackensack Academy completed his curriculum of studies Mr. Lozier is an artist of considerable ability and taste and has produced many specimens of his own handiwork, especially in decorating china and bric-a-brac. He is also an expert in pen work. He is a musician of no mean attainments, having made a special study of the violin. As a sportsman he excels, having many rare specimens collected by rod and gun while on expeditions to Florida and other shooting resorts. As a writer many interesting articles from his pen have found their way into sporting papers and periodicals, such as the Turf, Field and Farm and The American Field. His writings are chiefly descriptive and from his own experience. June 20, 1885, Mr. Lozier married Mary E. Rumsey. They have three children: Claire, Grace, and Mildred. He is a Republican in politics, independent in local matters, and takes great pleasure in his home. The celebrated Oradell Stock Farm is one of the best establishments of the kind in the State. This farm is located on a high elevation of land overlooking the fertile valley of the Hackensack River on the New Jersey and New York Railroad, eighteen miles from Jersey City. The buildings are modern structures. Excellent water is furnished for the stables from an artesian well 145 feet deep. The land comprising the farm has been owned by the Lozier family since the time of George Ill., the present owner having now in his possession the original deed of the same. The whole farm, which has been kept intact, consists of three hundred acres, nearly one hundred acres of which is virgin forest.
