Kansas and Kansans, History of Kansas, State and People, Vol. IV, by
Wm. E. Connelly, 1928:
Arnold R. Loop is giving an admirable administration as county
superintendent of schools for Mitchell County... On the pioneer
homestead of his parents, situated on Asher Creek, Mitchell County,
Arnold R. Loop was born October 30, 1874, a son of Albert and Barbara
(Schungle) Loop, the former of whom was born in Canton Berne, Switzerland,
and the latter of whom was born in Cincinati, Ohio, a daughter of
Frederick Schungle, a native of Germany and a prosperous farmer in
Hamilton County, Ohio, at the time of his death, his widow having come
to Kansas with her daughter Barbara (Mrs. Albert Loop) and having passed
the remainder of her life in Mitchell County. Albert Loop received in
his native land liberal educational advantages, and he was eighteen years
of age when he came to the United States, shortly before the outbreak of
the Civil war. His loyalty to his adopted land was forthwith shown by
his enlistment... His regiment was assigned to the Army of the Potomac
and he took part in many engagements, including the battles of Antietam
and Gettysburg, in the former of which he received a gunshot wound in one
of his arms. He never lost interest in his old comrades and was one of the
veteran members of the Beloit, Kansas, post of the Grand Army of the
Republic at the time of his death in July, 1918, at the venerable age of
81 years. His marriage was solemnized in Hamilton County, Ohio, and thence
he and his family made the overland journey to Kansas in 1868. He entered
claim to land in Mitchell County, and there developed the productive old
homestead... Of the thirteen children all but one attained to adult age,
and nine are now living: Fred C. resides at Eugene, Oregon; John J. died
at Holton, Kansas, and was survived by his wife and several children; George
M. resides at Hardy, Nebraska; Arnold R., of this review, William is a
farmer in Mitchell County; Clara, deceased, was the wife ofO. D. Hotchkiss,
of Shawnee County; Altha is the wife of E. E. Fisher, of Stockton, Kansas;
Ida is deceased; Edward F. is a farmer near Seymour, Iowa; Grace is the
wife of J. M. Cavender, of Asherville Township, Mitchell County, Kansas;
James is a resident of Lawrence, this state; Minnie died in childhood; and
Nettie is the wife of Lee Senter, of Graham County, Kansas. In the home
of Albert Loop was reared also his grandson, a son of Mrs. O. D. Hotchkiss,
and he is, in 1927, a student in the Topeka Business college.

Arnold R. Loop acquired his preliminary education by attending the
rural school of the home district, and in 1897 he was graduated from
Campbell University at Holton. [Much information about his teaching
career.] He is a Republican in politics, is affiliated with the Masonic
fraternity, is a member of the Christian church, and his wife and their
only daughter are members of the Christian Science Church. Mr. Loop
registered, but not called to service in the world war, and was active
in the various war drives in Mitchell County,... June 5, 1901 recorded
the marriage of Mr. Loop and Miss Lena M. Wylie, who was born at Atchison,
Kansas, a daughter of William H. and Pheobe (Gish) Wylie, of Monrovia,
Atchison county. The twin sister of Mrs. Loop is the wife of J. J. Loop
brother of the subject of this review, and they reside at Long Beach,
California... Marie, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold R. Loop, ...
went to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in the employ of the General Motors
Company, she being still a resident of that city and being now the wife
of Waldo J. Bashaw.
