Note Joseph Watson Bloomer


Joseph Watson Bloomer's parents were Allan Trimble Bloomer and Mary Baker. Bloomer. He was their only son.
Allen Trimble Bloomer was born in Washington Township, Fayette County Ohio as was his wife, Mary Baker Bloomer.
They moved to lllinois in 1853 where Joseph Watson Bloomer was born in or around Peoria.
They had four children, Joseph Watson Bloomer was the eldest. He was born May 16, 1853, Lida was born October 3, 1858, and Mary E. was born September 5, 1865. These three were born in Peoria, Ill. The last child, Ada, was born June 25, 1870 in Holt County, Missouri.
Joseph Watson Bloomer grew up on his father's farm in Holt County near New Point, Missouri and it was near the county seat of Oregon, Missouri.
On July 2nd, 1879 he married Miss Nancy Jermima Sloan of Forest City, Missouri. Miss Sloan's father was Abijah M. Sloan a farmer in that area and her mother was Elizabeth J. Hill of Forest City also.
The young Bloomers had six children, Alpha May, born May 22, 1880, Bessie born June 5, 1883, Iva Mabel born September 2, 1884. These three were born in Holt County, Missouri.
Sometime after 1884 the family moved to Chadron, Nebraska to home-stead. They didn't stay very long but Maude Elizabeth was born in Chadron on November 2, 1886.
They couldn't have stayed long because their fifth child, Grace Omega was born in Holt County on August 6, 1889. Their last child and only son, Clifton Allen, was born November 11, 1897.
Mr. Bloomer bought land near New Point to farm. It had only a very small house on it but gradually it was added on and became a two story house.
Joseph Watson Bloomer raised Poland China pigs on his farm.
On a trip to St. Joseph, Missouri in 1919 to sell a load of pigs he was asphyxiated by the gas light going out in his hotel room. The particulars of this accident were never known. He died there on November 12, 1919.
His widow and son continued to live on the farm for many years. During the depression it was a great struggle to make ends meet and they gradually grew deeper in debt.
Finally they lost the farm.
Nancy J. Bloomer was visiting her daughter, Maude Shumaker, in Brookfield, Missouri. when she fell and broke her hip. The accident confined her to a wheel chair. She stayed in Brookfield until her death in September 15, 1939.
She was brought back to the Cowan New Point Cemetery and was buried beside her husband.
I don't know just why the names of their daughters were as they were named but Alpha, in Greek means the beginning and Grace Omega means the end. Then they had their son eight years later., Principal=Joseph Watson Bloomer6
