George Loughman was Mayor of South Bend from 1884-1888, and while he was mayor, he was also freight agent with the railroad, foreman of a fire station, President of the South Bend Building and Loan, and an insurance dealer. His tenure watched over the professionalization of city’s police and firefighters, a historic visit from Presidential candidate James Blaine, a violent strike that almost drove Oliver from the city, and the death of Schuyler Colfax.
