Born in Milwaukee, Arthur was the son of German-born printer George J. Loeslin (born in around 1860 in Weisweil, Baden) who immigrated to America about 1870 with his mother, Caroline, and possibly another brother, Michael, when he was 9 years old.
The family came to Wisconsin, and George's mother settled in Milwaukee while Michael, Barbara and their son Wilhelm, settled elsewhere in the state.
Just after Christmas, on December 27th of 1879, George married Philipina Fuchs and the 1880 federal census shows them starting their own household together.
George and Philipina had three children: Arthur, Robert, and Hulda.
Philipina herself died in 1898, leaving her husband to raise the two boys, aided by their sister, Hulda, who had married and lived next door.
Arthur married a Milwaukee girl of German extract named Elsie Leyh and moved to St. Paul, Minnesota where they rented rooms and he worked at a printing company.
Arthur's WW I draft card shows that in 1918 he was enrolled as a student in the Northwest School of Chiropody, and eventually both he and Elsie became Chiropractors and owned their own practice in St. Paul. They don't appear to have had any children.
Elsie later died April 6, 1969 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
This far, I've not been able to find the whereabouts of Arthur's brother, Robert, his father or step-mother, Minnie.
Information on the above was gleaned from federal census records for 1880, 1900-1930, the marriage records of Aruthur's parents and the re-marriage of his father in 1900, Arthur's draft registration card and death record from Cook County, Illinois.
