Rev. Pratt at Bloomsbury First Presbyterian

Help me out here Craig. I always thought their name was Majors??? Or is this a typo from the paper?

Bloomsbury Minstrel Show

Boy here's a new one on me. I do remember however Oxford Fire Company having a show at BGS. Do any of you remember either of these?

Dr. Edgar Lane

I know we spoke of him before. I know he delivered me and I'm sure many of you as well.

Not to ignore the Presbyterians Rev. Markarian

Sorry no date. Perhaps someone else will know.

How about yours?

Bloomsbury Boy Scouts April 12, 1940

How many did you or do you know?

Don Sheets

Who amongst us knew what Don Sheets was up to when he was a young man. I got some inkling when Linda Manning Civitella were working on Bravo.

Here is some supportive information for military history buffs.

Yeah heroes lived amongst us.

The Temperance Movement in Town

Somewhere in this mess I have information from the Methodist Church on this issue too.

I hope not too much Johnny Pickel but a lot of old timers mentioned here too.

Leo Fratezi One Man Band

I believe I referred to this earlier. But just found an article from the paper about this. So here it is. First hand.

Pay attention to the section regarding Moondog

An interesting article I ran into.

Perhaps someone can help me out here and at the same time provide us with more historical information as to the black population in Bloomsbury.

My father always told me that the Freeman family had it's early beginnings in the "house" behind the Methodist Church. The building currently used for storage by the church. That is the only black family I was aware of in town at that period of time. I also knew the "barn" behind Cooke's house was also a home at one time. Who lived there I have no idea. I'm hoping Connie Cooke Bambrick can find some information out on that from her mother. This lady still is a puzzle for me. If anyone knows anything please let us know.

Thanks.

Linda

Help me make a decission here.

I'm thinking of posting pictures of old timers from town. Not just the leaders of the community. I have them available to me. Please let me know what you think before I do it. These are mostly from newspaper clippings. Like marriage, military or whatever. Thanks

Sorry I've been gone.

Will try to be better in the future. ;) Tons of boxes to go through and have no idea what I'll find. :)
Happy Father's Day all.
