JOHN FRANCES 'JACK' BROMLEY
John Frances "Jack" Bromley, son of Edwin and Alice Betton Bromley, was born March 25, 1915, in England and died March 24, 1997, at Colonial Manor Nursing Home in Zearing. He was 81.
Mr. Bromley immigrated to the United States from England in 1922 with his parents, brother, Bert and two sisters, Mary and Olive. The family settled in the Oakley area before moving to Jay and Medora. He attended school at Snake Hole country school near Bethel Chapel in Clarke County.
He married Opal Glendoris Gabel on July 3,1943, in Bethany, Mo. and the couple became the parents of two children.
Mr. Bromley was a resident of Lucas County for most of his life. He trucked and farmed with his father in Medora before moving to a farm near Liberty where he bought and sold walnut logs. He was partners with Short Ransom in many ventures.
He was a jack of all trades, other than buying logs he cut iron and hauled junk. Some people called him "Sanford". He loved what he did and when he couldn't cut iron anymore he was ready to give up. After Mrs. Bromley died he stayed at his son's at Lucas in the summer and at his daughter's in the winter. He moved to Osceola Leisure Manor and then to Colonial Manor in Zearing.
He was a joker, a different card in the deck. He had failed a lot in the last few years, but he never lost his sense of humor. He liked riding through the countryside looking at the crops and spotting walnut trees. A simple man, it didn't take much to make him happy. Mr. Bromley had many nicknames including "Twombey", "Ole King", "Our Jack" or just "PaPa".
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Opal Glendoris Bromley; a brother, Albert and a sister, Olive.
