Hiram Joseph Shoemaker was born August 4, 1845 in Indiana to Joseph H. Shoemaker and Francis Philandra Joslin.
He married Delia Adelia Bellis on February 14, 1867 in Fremont Township, Page County, Iowa at the home of her father Wilson Bellis. Nine known children were born to them, Jacob, Francis Margaret (Fanny), George, Edward, Joseph, Wilson, Minnie, Jesse, and a daughter.
Left his family when the children were little. He changed his name and that he was still alive in the 1920' or 1930's living in eastern Nebraska with a 2nd family. Donna claims that many researchers have tried to find him. She says that he must have done a good job changing birthdates & places as well , as she has gone through endless census records and cannot locate him. She was wondering if our family side to give her any insight but she gave me some. All I know is that he left the family and no one heard from him since. If he changed his name, who knows what he changed it to.
He died possibly in 1929 in West Nebraska.
