Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. E. E. LOOMIS. Like most young men who are making a success of life in Williamstown, E. E. Loomis, the subject of this sketch, was born and reared on a farm. He is the son of E. K. Loomis, of Heekin, and was born in Grant County. His life was spent until he was of age on his father's farm. He attended the country schools in winter and followed the pursuits of farming in summer. At the age of 21 he secured a teacher's certificate and began teaching school. He followed that calling with great success for three years, after which he attended the Commercial College of the Kentucky University, from which school he received two diplomas, one in shorthand and the other in bookkeeping, graduating from that college in 1899. This fitted him to fill any ordinary position in life, and he was appointed by Circuit Court Clerk W. L. Allphin as deputy clerk. Mr. Alphin's health failing him he was placed in charge of the office, and has continued in charge ever since, and has reflected great credit on himself by the splendid manner in which he has performed the manifold duties that have devolved upon him. Every record in his office is in first class order, and all who have business there go away pleased with the efficient manner in which he performs his duties. While Mr. Loomis is only 24 years old he is a leader in the councils of his party, and for the past two campaigns has taken a leading part in getting out the vote and carrying the Democratic party to victory. He has so comported himself since his coming to Williamstown as to win the applause of all the best people in the town. While he has not so declared, it is likely that he will be a candidate for the office of Circuit Court Clerk two years hence, and his friends believe he will win should he make the race. Mr. Loomis was married last January to Miss Musetta Cram, one of the most charming ladies in Williamstown. They are now keeping house in his beautiful residence on High Street. Mr. Loomis is a member of the Centurion Lodge of Odd Fellows, and is at the present time secretary of that order. He is also a member of the Encampment and a Rebukah.
