Five Loomis descendents: four brothers and their sister, the children of Colonel James Loomis and 7th generation descendents of Joseph, were without direct heirs. They pooled their considerable resources, and funded what is now the Loomis-Chaffee School. The original charter was drawn up in 1874 for the Loomis Institute, and construction began in the early 1900's, after the death of the last of the original board of trustees. The school was for both males and females; fairly early on, a separate facilty was created for girls, called the Chaffee School after the mother of the founders. In 1971 the 2 schools merged again, and became known as the Loomis-Chaffee School.
