Note1978 Notes on New Point, Missouri by Vivienne (nee Richards) Jones
A family by the name of Rule owned or bought . the Allen Trimble Bloomer house in the town of New Point . Two Rules were named Jered and Earl.
Uncle Clifton was known ans"Shad" Bloomer but now one left seems to know why?
Dr . Kearney's office was a house moved in and it had pressed tin siding . The home had been remodeled and one can barely see some of the original siding.
The grocery store is not in the old school house . It was remodeled a long time ago to beturned into a store building.
It also used to house the Post Office . . It wasn't the post office that mother knew . The town of New Point is now served by the Oregon, Missouri post office.
The chunk of cement out in front of the store is all that's left of the old band stand.
The now abandoned two story school house is new schoolhouse. At least its not the same one where mother went to school.
The old Bloomer store stood one block down from the present store and not even a foundation exists today . It was on the southeast corner and on the main road into New Point.
Until four years ago (now 1978) there was a garage in New Point across from the grocery Store . The store is the Lentz Grocery.
The Christian Church where Grandfather and Grandmother Kershaw went has been added on over the years and the Presbyteriian Church is still as it was . It is said to be a fine looking church inside . I want to see it the next time I go to Missouri.
Mr . Lee Herbert was a good friend of Uncle Cliftons . He (Mr . Herbert) lived on a farm next to Uncle Clifton.
Grandma Bloomer would call the Herbert house when Uncle Clifton stayed too late to suit her but he always knew her ring and would tell the Herberts to tell her he had just left as he went out the door.
Mrs Herbert and some of the ladies always came in to help Grandma Bloomer cook dinner for threshers . They knew where she kept her condiments and in which jars so this one time they were making chicken and dumplings so they threw in the amount of salt they thought it needed but when they tasted the checken it was sugared . Grandma had switched her containers.
Grandma Bloomer used to keep her kitchen floor bleached white with lye . As people said "Her kitchen was so clean you could eat off of her floor ." Sort of messy wouldn ' t you think?
Mr and Mrs Kenneth Kneale live in a farm house that formerly was owned by Allen Trimble Bloomer . At one time the house was away from the road and up a long lane but a long time ago it was moved doen by the road and since the Kneales
have owned it it has been added on to quite a bit . I was given a letter addressed to Great grandmother mary Bloomer that had fallen out of the attic when they remodedled .
I also took a picture of the school mother went to that was some distance away from where the Joseph Watson Bloomers lived . The school is terribly run down and is probably being used for storage on a farm across the road .
It seemed like all the roads were either graveled township roads or paved highways with indication of letters as to their place in the township . It was very easy to get from one area to another by car but I ' m sure I wouldn't have cared for it in the old mud road days and with horses and wagons, yet.
Grandmother and Grandfather Kershaw lived in the house now owned by the Kenneth Kneales . It was owned by Allen Trimble Bloomer then . They lived there when first married and when Bernice Marie their eldest child was born . Grandfather
Kershaw became on the outs with his in-laws and moved to another farm.
Also after four of their babies had died and were buried in the Bloomer plot he became estranged from them again and he bought his own lot in the New Point cemetery and had them moved. There are no headstones for those wee babies.
A Mrs . Bodkin, daughter of Mrs Milan Bosewell in Oregon, Missouri painted a picture of the Allan Trimble Bloomer farm home . I wonder if she'd take a picture of the painting Uncle Clifton lost the farm after Grandma passed away.
He'd bought it just before land prices took a dive in the 1920's so he ' d never been able to do more than make the interest payments according to Mr . Herbert.
After he had sold some of his things and the land to pay bills and outstanding debts he loaded up his Dodge pickup with things to take to Aunt Maude's, things he'd thought he would want and the rest he gave to Mr . Herbert for a lump sum.
Mr . Herbert has Grandmothers phonograph, a rocker, dresser, cane, a musket and a few other things.
Mr . Herbert has also taken a load of things to a flea market for Uncle Clifton but they didn't hardly make expenses.
After Clifton left the farm W.W. II broke out and he was drafted . He hadn ' t been able to get a job so he lied about his age to be younger than he was and the draft caught up with hime . He wasn't in the army very long before they discharged
him .
He was fond of wine and women so he squandered his money on both . Later ke was injured on a job and tthe Vet Agency gave him a pension.
He lived in a poor part of town in St . Joseph and washed dishes to help pay his way since his pension wasn't too great.
He had a bad habit of yelling at people in a loud voice when he'd see someone from home on the streets of St . Joseph.
I always wondered why he was at St . Joseph until I went back . I didn ' t realize how close to New Point he was . The terrain is very much alike.
Mr . Herbert said Uncle Clifton used to send a little money now and then to Ruth . I don ' t know how true that is.
While he lived or batched at the farm he never washed a dish until they were all dirty . He just piled them in a 50 Lb. oard can and when he moved there was still dirty dishes in the lard can that he left.
Mrs Herbert said her husband wasn't any better—he brought them home to her still dirty and in the lard can.
Grandma Bloomer spoiled several of Uncle Clifton's romances when he was young . She didn ' t want to lose her boy . After she was gone he said he was too old then.
Elmer Kearney had a half brother, who was he? Where did he go?
The Shepherds and Preston ' s must have been related because some of the Shepherds inherited part of a Preston estate.
Who are Wes Hamm, Bert Hamm, Bob Hamm? Is this mention of Bob Hamm the same as mother talks of having married into the Kershaw family?
The Shepherds who visited the Kershaw grandparents lived far enough from New Point that they had to stay all night.
Mother dan't remember the name of the town for sure but it seems to be Richvale, Richmond or Rich Hill??
They had a small son ., Principal=Allen Trimble Bloomer, Witness=Alpha May Bloomer, Witness=Joseph Watson Bloomer3
