Great Uncle Bloomer

From: "Sherrie Vilhelmsen" sherriev@verizon.net

I'm researching family history, and I'm stuck on finding any information on a great uncle. He was killed in a railroad accident in Washington or Oregon, between 1950 and 1965. His name was Bloomer and I believe he was a signalman. If you could help me find any information or give me an idea where to look it would be greatly appreciated.

    See the FAQ's about genealogy and railroad accidents.

    If you had a wife's name, or his birthdate, it would help. John L. Bloomer died in Oregon 5/1/1955, wife Lenora; Howard Bloomer died May 18, 1962, wife Winnie; Dey A. Bloomer died in Wash., Nov. 4, 1957, wife Myrtle.
