**********************************************************************

Charles W. Loomis, postoffice, Lexington, Mo.  The subject of this sketch
is one of the enterprising business men of Lexington; was born in the 
city of Madison, Wisconsin, October 1, 1853.  His father, Alexander 
Loomis, moved to St. Joseph, Mo., in 1856, and after a short stay there
moved to Lexington, this  county, which has been the home of the family
ever since; both father and son, at this time, being engaged in business
in Lexington.  Charles was raised here, and also received his education
here.  At the age of 15, he entered as clerk in the drug house of W. B.
Tevis, where he remained five years.  In 1874 he began business for him-
self under style of J. A. Quarles & Co., which firm had a successful 
business career of five years, and then sold out, and Mr. Loomis started
in the drug business alone, on Franklin street, where he is at present,
and keeps constantly on hand a full and complete stock of first-class
drugs, etc.  Mr. Loomis has been a success so far, and there is no fair
way to judge the future except by the past and present.
