I am trying to find out more information on what happend to the family of a distant cousin of mine - John Harvey Loomis. John Harvey Loomis was born in Columbia and moved to Aiken after the war, living there from the late 1880s until his death in 1912. His wife - Eliza Hendrix - was born in Aiken in the 1850s and died in Aiken in 1947. They had several children, the most prominent being a son named Thomas Carling Loomis. Thomas had a son named John Loomis. John had a son named John Harvey Loomis (died a child) and a daughter named Margauritte. Most are buried in Aiken at Bethany Cemetery. I do not know what happened to Margauritte. Other family names associated with the Loomis family include Hamilton, White and Schulhoffer (Aiken), and Calhoun (Decatur, GA) An elderly resident of Aiken recalls knowing John Harvey Loomis of 1912 and his family as a grocer in Aiken. She believes that the family may have relocated to Savanah. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks - John Loomis, Alexandria VA
