Thomas Foamer/History

==History==
Thomas Foamer was born in 1863 in Charleston, Virginia. During the American Civil War, many people in Virginia wanted to be free from slavery. And so when Thomas was only a few months old, West Virginia seceded from Virginia. Thomas would live on the West Virginian half until the age of 18. Thomas was surprisingly well-educated for being raised in the young state. Even going to trade school and learning botany.
For a better job opportunity, Thomas moved to a frontier town of El Cabillo, in Nevada, in 1881. He would become a founding member of the town, and thus a very respected man in his community. It was here that Thomas met Elanor Murdock. Who would later become his wife. They were married in 1884. A year later, their one and only son was born, Noah Foamer. At some point between 1885 and 1890, Thomas would start a botany business selling plants. This would later take him to Denver, Colorado.

Thomas had lived in Denver for around 2 months when he decided to seek council with Raymond Samson. On his way to the house, a wheel broke off of his wagon, sending him down the ravine and into a small crevasse. Thomas made it out alive, but someone had ambushed him beforehand. By the time he arrived at Samson's home, it was already nightfall. He rested for the evening and woke up to find the whole house ransacked and trashed. He looked around to investigate, and saw the dead body of Samson hanging with a noose.
This unsettled Thomas, and so he vowed to return to El Cabillo and take his family somewhere safe. Since he was well sure that the people who killed Samson would know about him, since he was there that night. If they didn't kill him then, they certainly would later.
