Matilda Jane Burns was the daughter
of Jeremiah Burns and Nancy McDonald.
She married Samuel Bloomer on December 12, 1863, in Indiana.
Her husband was born Samuel Blumer on October 30, 1835, in Engi, Glarus, Glarus, Switzerland, the son of Jacob Blumer and
Anna Marti. Anna's family surname was originally Marti, but it evolved to Marty.
Anna died soon after the birth of this son. When he was ten, Samuel immigrated to America with his maternal grandparents,
Adam and Anna Marty, and his cousin,
Adam Marty, who was nine. They sailed
aboard the Rockall from LeHavre, France, arriving in New Orleans, Louisiana, on
July 27, 1846. Both Samuel and Adam,
whose mother had suffered the same
fate as Sam's, were reared by the Marty grandparents; Adam's father was their son, Sebastian Marty. The family had settled in Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota,
by 1850; by then, Samuel's surname had already been anglicized to Bloomer. Samuel spent much of his life in Stillwater. Due
to his exemplary service in the Civil War,
Sam is still a local hero there.
Matilda and Sam separated in 1875 and divorced in 1878. The couple had four
children, namely:
Alice Luella (Bloomer) Olson (1864-1910),
Charles Henry Bloomer (1866-1891),
Grace Gertrude Bloomer (1872-1874), and
Ernest Oscar Bloomer (1873-1955).
When they divorced, Sam was granted
custody of the remaining three children; however, Ernest, the youngest, was reared
by his mother.
On the 1880 Census, Denver, Arapahoe County, Colorado, which was taken as of
June 1, 1880, "Matilda Burns" ran a boarding house. Among her lodgers was George R. Culver, whom she would soon marry.
Matilda J. Bloomer married George R. Culver, son of Jonathan Edward Culver and Eliza Ann Denison, on November 25, 1880, in Denver; they were married until his death on
December 30, 1884.
After her marriage to George, Matilda changed the spelling of her name to Mathilda. She was Matilda for thirty-six years and Mathilda for forty-eight years.
