All of the above information from the Essex County (NY) Republican, Frida y, January 25,
1935.

See information page compiled by Leo Fleury, October 1996. This states th at Moses
enlisted on February 15, 1864 and was wounded when his horse was startle d, causing
Moses to fall and his carbine to discharge, wounding his wrist with a musk et ball. His
enlistment application lists his height as 5'3", with blue eyes, sandy hai r, and fair
complexion, and his occupation is given as "sailor." The proximity of t he family farm to
Lake Champlain (circa one mile west of the lake) could mean that Moses wor ked on boats
traveling from Montreal to Albany, NY, and serving Vermont. Leo further s tates that
after Moses married Amelia (1867 or 1868, depending on the account you rea d), he purchased a 172-acre dairy farm in Keeseville, Town of Chesterfie ld (Clinton County),
New York.

The family home is still in the family, occupied by Gladys Bombard, wid ow of Moses'
grandson Thomas Edward Bombard, who died in May, 2000.

From a tape made by LeRoy Bombard, Moses came from Alburg, Vermont wh en he was
7 years old to Port Douglas, New York. Roy said when Moses and Amelia w ere first
married they went to work in a lumber camp in Keene, New Hampshir e, he as a
lumberjack, and she as a cook for 20-22 men, for 3 years. After saving th eir money they
returned to Keeseville, New York, where they bought the farm [mentioned ab ove], on the
Douglas Road. Amelia was in such poor health from the hard work (and s he had lost a
child during that time), that her own parents didn't recognize her when th ey first came to
visit her. She was drawing water at the well when they drove up in the ir carriage and
asked, "Young woman, could you please direct us to the Moses Bombard farm ?" She
cried and said, "Mother, Father, don't you recognize me?" and they were sh ocked at her
condition.
