From Biographical Record of the Counties of Huron and Lorain, Ohio. Chicago, J.H. Beers & Co. 1894
F.R. Loomis lived in Lodi until his 19th year when he "entered the Union army, in which he served faithfully three and one half years at the front, his regiment being the Eighth O.V.I. He was promoted consecutively to first sergeant, second lieutenant and first lieutenant, and was assigned to the staff of Gen. S. S. Carroll. He was severely wounded at the battle of Antietam, and again at Gettysburg. On his return home at the close of the war he was appointed postmaster of his native town, Lodi, an incumbency he filled ten consecutive years, at the end of which time he resigned to accept the position of member of the State Legislature, to which the suffrages of the Republicans of his county had called him. He served his term acceptably, and declined a renomination. In 1876 he purchased a half interest in the Medina Gazette, and was one of the editors and proprietors therof until 1879, when he sold his interest in that paper and purchased the Norwalk Chronicle, of which he is now sole proprietor and editor....In religious faith he is a Congregationalist.....(he was very involved with his church and community)
On January 10, 1865, F. R. Loomis was united in marriage with Catherine C. Kilmer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and to them was given one son, whose young life brought to his fond parents' hearts the light and joy of the sunshine. Clare R. Loomis was born March 16, 1871....He died of typhoid fever at his home in Norwalk, February 9, 1892..." It doesn't appear Clare ever married
