Loomis lived with Mary Katharine Fuertes, daughter of Cornell engineer Estevan Antonio Fuertes, for many years (they are recorded as living together in the 1920, 1930, and 1940 federal censuses, and in the 1915 New York State census), and the two women co-owned a poultry farm in Washingtonville.[25] Loomis died in 1958, in Pomfret, Connecticut, aged 83 years. Her papers are in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Columbia University.[6]
