Julie, you have made my day. These are my ancestors and answers some of my questions. Whether there is a connection with O.H. Loomis I don't know, it could be that for the want of a name they named this son Loomis. Julius was from Chicopee Center, Mass. I can't express how much I appreciate this info. TIAA Richard F.
