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.

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.
