Dr. T. Albert Blackmore, M.D. - As a learned and competent physician, who has 
kept pace with the great developments in the science and art of healing, Dr. J. 
Albert Blackmore holds a place in the front rank of the medical profession in 
Henry County. During the years which he has been practicing in the city of 
Windsor, he has endeared himself to the people, and has made a distinct and 
unqualified success. Dr. Blackmore was born in Lincoln County, Missouri, January 
18, 1873, and is the son of Thomas and Rebecca (Evans) Blackmore. Thomas 
Blackmore was the son of a Missouri pioneer, Samuel Blackmore, who first 
settled in this State in the late twenties, coming to Missouri from his native 
State, Kentucky. Thomas Blackmore was born in Lincoln County, Missouri, October 
20, 1840, and followed farming and stock raising during his entire life. His wife, 
Rebecca Evans, prior to her marriage, was born near Shelbyville, Kentucky, left 
an orphan in infancy and came to Missouri when young. Thomas Blackmore was a 
soldier in the Civil War, having enlisted in a Union volunteer regiment at Calhoun, 
Illinois, and served for about seven months, receiving an honorable discharge 
from the service on account of sick disability incurred while on duty. Soon after 
his discharge, he returned to Missouri and settled on a farm in Lincoln County 
where he remained until his death, in 1886, peacefully and industriously engaged 
in tilling his acreage. Six children were born to Thomas and Rebecca (Evans) 
Blackmore as follows: Two sisters died in infancy; Mrs. Elizabeth Avery, Troy, 
Missouri; Belle, Troy, Missouri; Mrs. Ida Martin, Canada; and T. Albert, subject of 
this review. The care of this family devolved upon the widowed mother, after the 
death of Thomas Blackmore, when J. Albert was thirteen years of age. The 
situation naturally called for his assistance in the farm work and keeping the 
family together and he faithfully did his part in helping his mother. He attended 
the district schools and remained upon the home farm until he attained his 
majority. He then entered Buchanan College, at Troy, Missouri, and pursued a 
classical course in preparation for the study of medicine which he undertook in 
the St. Louis College of Medicine, graduating in 1898. Doctor Blackmore began the 
practice of his profession at Olney, Missouri, and remained there seven and a half 
years, then located in Windsor, where he has won a high place for himself not 
only in the ranks of his profession but as a citizen whose worth is recognized. 
Aside from his practice Doctor Blackmore is interested in various enterprises, 
locally and in Oklahoma and Arkansas. November 1, 1900, Dr. T. Albert Blackmore 
and Miss Lenora Thurman, the daughter of Thomas and Minnie (Powell) Thurman of 
Troy, Missouri, were united in marriage. Thomas Thurman was a native of Lincoln 
County, Missouri, who followed farming until he located in Troy, Missouri, where 
he engaged in the real estate business and also served as city marshal of Troy. 
Four children have been born to Doctor and Mrs. Blackmore, as follows: Thomas 
Ernest, born April 20, 1904; Thurman Evans, born December 12, 1905; Albert 
Hamilton, born September 20, 1908; and Charles Powell, born October 18, 1913. 
The Democratic party and Democratic principles of government have always had 
the warm support of Doctor Blackmore, who served as coroner of Lincoln County, 
Missouri, for two years. Doctor Blackmore is president of the Henry County 
Medical Society, and is a member of the Missouri State Medical Association, and 
the American Medical Association. He is affiliated with the Independent Order of 
Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, and the Modern Woodmen of America. Dr. 
Blackmore was commissioned a captain in the Officers' Medical Reserve Corps of 
the National Army on August 8, 1918.
