Mrs. Loehr died in July 1912. Since the death of his wife, Mr. Loehr has lived the most of the time with his children.

He was converted and united with the Methodist Protestant church. Afterwards, he transferred his membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church at Wesley Chapel in Webster Township. A few years ago he transferred to the Methodist church of Winterset of which he was a member at the time of his death.
