Biographical history
Harold Boomhour was born in 1898 in Clarenceville, Quebec. He attended Wesleyan College in Montreal and he was a student minister in Abbotsford from 1921 to 1924. He was ordained as a minister of the Methodist Church in 1924. The same year, Rev. Boomhour married Mildred Gillespie in Abbotsford. In 1925, he automatically became minister of the United Church of Canada, when the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational churches amalgamated. He served in the following pastoral charges: Diamond, Ont. (1924-1925); Hatley's Station, Ont. (1925-1927); Pontypool, Ont. (1927-1930); Pittsburgh Township, Ont. (1930-1933); Westport, Ont. (1933-1936); Rednersville, Ont. (1936-1941); Manilla, Ont. (1941-1942); Caughnawaga, Que. (1942-1946); Dunham, Que. (1946-1949); Ayers' Cliff, Que. (1949-1957); Waterloo, Que. (1957-1964); and Lacolle, Que. (1964-1968). Rev. Boomhour served also as chairman of the Quebec-Sherbrooke Presbytery and its Pastoral Relations Committee (1959-1960), and as secretary of the Montreal-Ottawa Conference Settlement Committee for three years. Rev. Boomhour retired from the ministry in 1968 and died in Morrisburg, Ont., in 1986.
