History
A post office formerly operated in Loomis,[3][4] but was shut down in 1933.[5] In 1911 a grocery store was established by Joseph Schroeder[6] (1885–1931), an early settler who also served as postmaster,[4] and soon afterward a cheese factory was started by Bonaventura Cubalchini (1885–1948).[6] In 1915, the railroad removed the station agent at Loomis due to the low volume of traffic there,[7] and the depot was removed by the 1970s.[6] The local school in Loomis closed in the 1990s.[citation needed]
