Death of Dr. Loomis
	
	On Saturday last, the 15th inst., Dr. Joel Loomis, an old and well known
citizen of this city, died at his residence on Third street, of paralysis, aged
62 years.
	Dr. Loomis was born in Clark Co., Ohio, July 23d, 1815.  he removed with his
father’s family to Laporte Co., Ind. in 1834. His health failing so as to
disable him for life on the farm, he devoted himself to the study of medicine in
1844, and in 1847 married and located in Logansporte, Ind.  In 1849, he removed
to Niles, and in 1858 erected his residence in Third street.  This was his home
till the day of his death.  About thirteen years ago he was visited with an
attack of paralysis, which left him an invalid and a sufferer from intense pain
much of the time.  These years of suffering, laying him aside from the active
duties of his profession, were passed in patience and in expectation of release
by detah only. Symptoms of paralysis returned on the 14th, on the morning of the
15th the attack became severe, and after a few hours of unconsciousness, he
quietly passed from his sufferings.
	Dr. Loomis was widely and favorably known, especially among the older citizens
of the community.  His genial presence will never be forgotten. His remains were
taken to Laporte, Ind., for burial in the family burying ground in that city.
