BOOMER, LYMON WELLINGTON
(1 Aug 1929, Elk City newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Lyman (sic) W. Boomer, second son of Oris and Lucinda Boomer was born July
27, 1851, at Marengo, Illinois and departed this life at his home in Elk
City, Oklahoma, on July 29, 1929.  Age seventy-eight years and two days.
At an early age he moved with his parents from Illinois to Missouri, where
he grew to manhood.  He was married to Lenora F. Weatherly, December 25,
1887, at Laclede, Missouri.  They moved to Nebraska in 1893 where they
lived for several years.  From Nebraska the family moved and lived in the
following states:  Oklahoma, California, Florida and Arkansas, coming back
to Oklahoma last December.
Mr. Boomer has been in declining health for some time but on the Fourth of
July he was stricken much worse.  He told his loved ones he could not
recover and during the days that followed his suffering was so intense
that friends and loved ones were willing to see him taken home.
Mr. Boomer was never affiliated with any church but was reared in a
Methodist home, and lived and adhered to the teachings of Christ.  He left
friends in every community where he lived and his children say that he was
an affectionate Father.
He leaves an aged companion, one son, Edward and daughter, Gladys; a
granddaughter, Gloria Levern, a brother, Grant Boomer and a sister, Mrs.
Scott Blackmore, all of Elk City.  Three sisters in Missouri and a brother
in California, besides a host of other relatives and friends who are left
to mourn his going.
