Eugene Francis Loud (March 12, 1847 – December 19, 1908) was an American politician, lawyer, and merchant.[1] He was a Civil War veteran, who served six terms as a U.S. Representative from California from 1891 to 1903.
Born in Abington, Massachusetts, Loud went to sea and afterward settled in California.[2]
During the Civil War, he enlisted in a California Cavalry Battalion in 1862, which formed a part of the Second Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry.[2]
He returned to California, where he engaged in mining and as clerk for fifteen years. He studied law, and served as a clerk in the customs service in San Francisco. He served as a member of the California State Assembly for the 43rd district from 1885 to 1887.[3] He was cashier of the city and county of San Francisco.
Loud was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-second and to the five succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1891 – March 3, 1903). He served as chairman of the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads (Fifty-fourth through Fifty-seventh Congresses). In April 1898, Loud was among the six representatives who voted against declaring war on Spain. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1902 to the Fifty-eighth Congress.
He died in San Francisco, on December 19, 1908. He remains were cremated and the ashes interred in the Odd Fellows Cemetery (which no longer exists).[2] He was re-interred at Greenlawn Memorial Park, Colma.[4]
