Bloomsbury Hose Company #1






Again questions arising on FaceBook. This time by Jr Allen, son of Herb and Joyce Allen. He was questioning me on the location of the early fire house. I had to admit I knew nothing of one being anywhere but the old section in it's current location. My dad must have been listening ;) Because I suddenly saw this book The celebration of the fire companies 25th anniversay. I scanned a few pages to show here. There are quite a few pictures and if anyone wants to see more I will do it. Also it answered a question that came up many years ago about the location of the water lines in town. So I'll try to get them in order. If anyone has any comments please let me know.

Of course it uploaded backwards LOL

  1. OK, what am I missing here? On Pg. 5 it says this history is written on the 25th anniversary of the Company, in 1920. Yet on Pg. 6 it says the Company was formed on Feb. 20, 1907. HUH??

    There must be a left-wing conspiracy to make the Company older than it actually is!! LOL

    Thanks for posting this, Linda. I did not know that my grandfather, F.C. Hoffman, was involved in the organization.
