From Isabella County Portrait and Biographical History, 1884.
"James Tubbs, proprietor of the Loomis House, at Loomis (Wise Township), was born in Chemung Co., N.Y., March 22, 1812. His parents, Lebbeus and Hannah (Matthews) Tubbs, were natives of Orange Co., N.Y. After their marriage they settled in Chemung Co., N.Y., where they passed the remaining portion of their lives. The father died July 29, 1843; the mother died about 1853. Mr. Tubbs has been an agriculturist during the greater part of his active life. He was a resident of his native county until he was 32 years of age. In May 1844, he settled in Oakland Co., Mich., where he rented different farms for a period of four years, after which he removed to Genesee Co., Mich., and settled upon 160 acres of wild land. He spent 16 years in its improvement, and at the end of that time sold our and made another transfer to Oakland County. He bought 240 acres of land in the township of Highland, and resided thereon until the spring of 1869 when he again disposed of his property and removed to Fentonville, Genesee Co., Mich. He was in impaired health, and he spent one year in that village in comparative idleness to regain health and strength. In the spring of 1871, he purchased a hotel in Holly, Oakland County, which he retained and managed nearly two years. He again sold out and in the fall of 1873 he came to Isabella County and became the proprietor of the hotel which he is now conducting, and which is the most prominent public house in Loomis. In regard to national affairs, he is a Democrat, and cast his first Presidential vote for Andrew Jackson. Mr. Tubbs was first married in his native county, in December 1833, to Charlotte Bailey, a native of the same county. She bore him four children - Robert B, Melinda, Fletcher and Alice G. The second named died when she was 24 years old. The mother died April 17, 1865 in Oakland County. Mr. Tubbs was again married, in the last county, Aug. 8, 1866, to Jeanette Maxwell. She was born Jan. 11, 1834 of Scotch ancestry. Mrs. Tubbs is a lady of more than ordinary educational attainments, and was a successful and popular teacher of Oakland County, where she taught 17 terms of school.".
