Biography

Annie was born in 1838. She passed away in 1918.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 85, No 10, p 320, Sep. 9, 1918.

Mrs. Annie M. Loofboro, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Davis, was born in Warren County, Ohio, August 27, 1838, and died at the home of her son, Horace R. Loofboro, In Welton, Iowa, August 19, 1918, lacking only eight days of being 80 years of age.

She accompanied her parents when, in (about) 1860 or 1861, they moved to Welton, Iowa. On February 22, 1863, she was united in marriage to Mr. I. N. Loofboro. To them were born five children - three sons, Horace R., Lewis L., and Yulee, and two daughters, Viola A., who died at eleven years of age, and Luella, who died at Milton, Wis., when about twenty years old. The son Yulee died at Boulder, Colo., at twenty-nine years of age. Horace R. and Lewis L. survive, and with their families reside at Welton, Ia.

They were valued members of the community in which they lived, and were interested in the welfare of all. In early life they had identified themselves with the cause of Christianity, becoming members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, and were always loyal to that denomination.

It was my privilege to be associated with them as their pastor from 1901 to the time of Mr. Loofboro's death in 1907, and following that with Mrs. Loofboro until 1915, when I moved from Welton. I found them constant in the Christian life, valuable coworkers, and warm personal friends.

Mrs. Loofboro leaves to mourn their loss two sons and their families, in which are five grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Wilson Babcock, of North Loup, Neb., and Mrs. Hurley Babcock, of Gentry, Ark; a brother, Thomas Davis, of Nortonville, Kans., and many other relatives and friends.

On August 22, in the absence of the present pastor, the former pastor, Rev. George W. Burdick, conducted the funeral services, which were largely attended.
