It appears related to the decision, by the First Congregational Church of Bangor, to install a memorial plaque for Loomis in that year
On pp16ff, it indicates a dozen or so sermons of his were then still extant, and briefly discusses a few of them; but it does not there discuss his planned sermon on 2 January 1825, when he (pp29ff) fought his way uphill to arrive at the church through a heavy snowstorm, brushed himself off, sat down, then collapsed unconscious, dying shortly afterwards
According to the biography, at least part of the story appeared in The Bangor Register for Thursday 6 January 1825 and was taken by the author from a later hand-written eyewitness account; at this point, the biography does indicate he had planned to discuss the alleged text Jeremiah 28:16 but does not indicate whether the sermon was still extant
On first blush, this might seem striking (if true) but the death is not actually too mysterious: I have known middle-aged men who died suddenly after exerting themselves in cold weather
