7/22/1925 "Stamford Mirror Recorder", Stamford, NY
Word has been received by relatives of Mr. Freeman Bloodgood of his death, at State College, New Mexico, on June 30th, at the age of 92. Mr. Bloodgood and wife before leaving for the west lived at Conesville. With his family they arrived in New Mexico in 1881, before there were any railroads and entered the teaming business, hauling freight between Las Vegas and White Oaks. He also hauled the first load of ore out of Kingston when that was a boom mining camp. The ore was hauled to Nut Station, which was the big railroad point at that time before Dealing was founded. At Kingston he was a crony of Doheny, the big oil man who was a miner at that time, and many others of the old timers. He later went to ranching in the Mogollones, but was run out by the Indians and then went into the cattle business near Kingston. He was born in New York state. About four years ago he fell and since that time had been in poor health and had been making his home with his son. Dean Bloodgood, at State College. He leaves besides his wife, Ophelia A., two sons, Dean, of State College and Ellsworth, of Kingston, New Mexico. Interment was made in the Masonic cemetery at Las Cruces. He was a brother-in-law of Weidman Shoemaker, of Middleburgh; his wife, Ophelia, being eldest daughter of Abram Shoemaker, at one time a resident of Conesvllle, at that time called Stone Bridge. Dr. G. B. Shoemaker of Cobleskill is a nephew.
