PHILOMATH, April 16. — On Sunday last Bushnell B. Loomis, aged 77, died at his home here, succumbing to tuberculosis from which he had been an invalid many years.
The deceased was born at Taghkanie, Columbia county, New York. He migrated to Kansas in 1858. He enlisted in Company D of the Twelfth Kansas volunteer infantry in 1862 and was mustered out of military service in 1864, having participated in some of the most strenuous campaigns of the Civil war.
Mr. Loomis removed from Kansas to Oregon in 1889, settling at Philomath. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Caroline Loomis; by a son, Charles T. Loomis, of Philomath; by three daughters, Mrs. I.L. Bethers of Merlin, Or.; Mrs. A.F. Tibbetts of Toledo, Ohio, and Mrs. W.P. Hiatt of Forest Grove.
Mr. Loomis was not demonstrative in his expression of good will for his fellow beings, but he was a good man and held in high esteem in the community where he has for years resided.
