General Notes: Husband - Marvin Loomis

---

He was the third eldest of his siblings, and remained under the parental roof till attaining his majority. He received a good English education, and taught school six winter terms. In 1828 he visited Mercer County, PA, and the next year took up his residence in Salem (later Sugar Grove) Township. He resided with his wife’s parents and took charge of the farm until both had passed away. In 1865 he removed to Greenville. He was one of the organizers of the First National Bank, and also of the Greenville National Bank; was a director of each and president of the former, but was not otherwise engaged in business after coming to Greenville.

The family were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Politically he was a Whig and Republican all his life. During his residence in Sugar Grove Township he served as school director about twenty years, and after locating in Greenville he filled the office of burgess one term. In 1863, though fifty-six years old, he exhibited his patriotism by going into the three-months service, and was a member of John C. Dickey Post, G. A. R., of Greenville. Mr. Loomis always took an active interest in the social and material development of Mercer County. He was prominently connected with the first fairs held in Greenville, and president of its first agricultural society; and was also one of the organizers of the Shenango Valley Cemetery Association and its secretary and treasurer. For many years he had the general management of the cemetery, and was largely instrumental in having it finely improved and beautified. For many years he watched the steady growth of his adopted county, and for a large part of that time was one of its best known citizens. Beginning in early manhood without a dollar, he so improved his opportunities that he became one of the wealthiest pioneers of the county.
