Loop, of Sewickley township, emigrated from Germany about 1818, and settled near Greensburg, where a few years later the father of the family died and the children were reared by their widowed mother. Henry Loop, one of the sons of the emigrant ancestors, was born February 10, 1820, in the vicinity of Greensburg, and at an early age entered the paper mills of C. P. Markle & Sons, in Mill Grove. He remained with the firm many years, continuing in their service after their removal to West Newton. After leaving them he engaged in farming, and in 1877 purchased the William Shaner farm, in North Huntingdon township, where he resided for some fifteen years, and then, his wife having died a few years before, he retired from active labor and took up his abode with his children. He was a staunch JRepublican, and for many years a member of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Loop married Martha E. Couchenour, and of the thirteen children born to them only three survive: Margaret B., widow of Presley Wilson, of Sewickley township; Martha E., wife of T. C. Wilson, of Shaners Station; and Samuel C., mentioned hereinafter. The death of Mr. Loop occurred October 24, 1899. Samuel C. Loop, son of Henry and Martha E. (Couchenour) Loop, was born January 30, 1857, in Sewickley township, and received a common school education. In 1876 he began working as a farm hand, and after his marriage settled in Sewickley township and has since resided there. In 1888 he bought and built on a portion of the B. R. Newlin farm, now owned by J.A. Dewees, remaining there about eleven years, when he rented his small place and revoved to the farm which is now his home. This property forms part of the James Hays Heiss estate, known as the "old Blackball coal farm." For the last five years Mr. Loop has been extensively engaged in the dairy business in connection with his farming, and for twenty or twenty-five years has been one of the best-known live stock dealers in this part of the country. He has the reputation of being the best corn-husker in Sewickley, having, November 7, 1887, on the William Robbins farm, husked one hundred and forty-five bushels in nine hours and forty-five minutes, that being the first corn he had husked that season. Although never an office seeker, Mr. Loop has served as township auditor and for nine successive years was a member of the Sulphur Springs school board.
