INDEX
wager12
Lory was born when the family was living in Wisconsin, most likely because his mother wanted to be near her sister, Sarah Toothaker Mallory, who had a pair of twins, Frank and Fred, who were a year older than Lory. As a man, Lory was said to be stoic and spoke infrequently, although when he did speak, his words were well chosen. At one point, he ran a milking machine business in East Lansing. He lived at 539 MAC Avenue (short for "Michigan Agricultural College"), but kept several houses, renting rooms out of others and buying and selling them for profit. He is said to have bought two housing plots at a time, living in one and renting the other. He also would often build the houses himself. He was good with other small wood and metal work in a basement workshop he maintained in one of the houses. Eventually, he worked as a chief engineer at Michigan Agricultural College. In the mid-1920s, he was an engineering consultant at Albion College for building Robinson Hall, which was destroyed by fire shortly after it was completed. He felt that tragedy deeply, and never wanted to openly discuss it.
