Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, June 28, 1899 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - C. G. Loomis - In the death of Charles G. Loomis the town and village of Orwell loses one of the most honored and respected citizens. He was born May 23, 1821 in the town of Lee, Oneida county, and moved to the town of Orwell in 1846, where he passed the remainder of his life. In 1845 he was married to Miss Julia Sheldon, who died in December, 1897. Three children blessed this union, of whom only one survives, Mr. George Loomis, of Orwell. Those who knew the deceased were ever appreciative of his excellent qualities as a man, neighbor and citizen. He exerted a good influence in the community, not so much by what he said, but rather by living a quiet, noble and honest life. He filled several public positions in the town of Orwell to the satisfaction of his constituents. He built the first cheese factory in Oswego county and the second in the state. He died June 17 at the home of his son after an illness of four weeks. His fimend was held the following Tuesday, Rev. T. T. Davis officiating. Interment was made at the Orwell cemetery.
