Noel Loomis (April 3, 1905 – September 7, 1969) was an American writer, principally of western, mystery and science-fiction.
Born and raised in the American West, he was sufficiently familiar with that territory to write a useful history of the Wells Fargo company.[2][3]
He married Dorothy Moore Green,[3]
who was also a writer,[4]in 1945.
There is evidence that he had a first wife named Johnie or Jonie, who was the mother of his children.[5]
He also worked variously as a printer, newspaperman and editor.
