From the Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, 1908, Vol. II, Schuyler County: LOOP, Josiah, - The genealogy of this well-known farmer of Schuyler County is traced to Germany, whence some of the name crossed the ocean to America in a very early period of our country's history. The records show that George Loop removed from Ohio to Indiana and thence to Illinois, where he died in Clark County. During his residence in Ohio his son David was born, and from there he accompanied the family to Indiana, where he met and married Mary Beach, a native of Pennsylvania. About 1847 they removed from Indiana to Illinois and settled at Pleasantview, Schuyler County, where he built his first home in Illinois. While he made farming his principle occupation, he ... did other work, following for a time the cooper's trade. The shoes that his children wore were often of his own workmanship, for he had picked up an excellent knowledge of the shoemaker's trade. Leaving Pleasantview about 1855, David Loop removed to Missouri and entered government land in Scotland County, but in 1856 he disposed of the property and returned to Illinois. Shortly afterward he bought eighty acres on Section 1, Huntsville Township, Schuyler County, besides forty acres in Birmingham Township. The land was in its primeval state of wildness... After building a house he at once began the arduous task of breaking ground and raising his first crops. The results were gratifying and he continued on the place until about 1879, at which time he had about 300 acres. During that year he moved to Carthage, Hancock County, where he bought a house with four acres of ground. Having sold this place in 1884, he bought property in Camden village, where he died in 1884, his wife passing away eleven months later. In the family of David Loop there were ten children, of whom three sons and two daughters are now living. One child died in infancy; Samantha died about 1902; George, who was a soldier in Company E, Seventy-eighth Illinois Infantry, until the close of the Civil War, died about 1903; Amanda is the widow of Nicholas Burwood and resides at Galesburg, Ill.; John, of Augusta, Hancock County, was a member of Company E, Fifty-ninth Illinois Infantry, and served from July, 1861, until the close of the war. Next in order of birth was Josiah, born in Vermillion County, Ind., July 5, 1844. Mary, Mrs. Robert Redding, is deceased, as is also Caroline, who was the wife of J. M. Walters, of Keokuk, Iowa. Catherine is the wife of Rev. Amos Rigney, of the United Brethren Church, and they make their home in Adair, McDonough County, Ill. ... Upon the migration of the family to Schulyer County in 1847, Josiah Loop was a child three years of age... When he was twenty years of age he left home to give his services to the Union in the Civil War, enlisting October 24, 1864, in Company F, Forty-third Illinois Infantry, and remaining with his regiment until he was honorably discharged in October of 1865... In 1868 he married Miss Lenna, daughter of John Pierce, and during the same year he and his bride began housekeeping in Kansas, where he and a brother, John Loop, bought land in Cherokee County. While making his home there his wife died in 1873, leaving two sons, Sidney P., now at home, and Charles E. of Chicago. The year following his wife's death he returned to Illinois and resumed farming in Schuyler County, where in 1876 he married Mary E. Milton. Afterward he bought forty acres, to which he has added 120 acres, making a quarter-section farm located on Section 12, Huntsville Township. Of his second marriage nine children were born, namely: William, who died in infancy; John E., a farmer in Birmingham Township; Mary Alice, who died at the age of eighteen; Amanda J. (Mrs. George Myers), of Camden, Schuyler County; James S., at home; Lulu Belle, who died in infancy; Benjamin N., at home; Enoch M., who died at two years of age; and Amos, at home...
