The Bereaved story in Newburgh. The Loziers lived and farmed in Newburgh area, attending the Dutch Reformed church there, and no doubt shopping in the town as well as in Beacon. Abraham’s death is noted in the Newburgh newspaper. All their lives and adventures began there. Loziers and Seybolts still live in Newburgh today.
