[edit] Death date?

She died in 1894 ? or in 1914? Modeha 07:28, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Amelia Bloomer death date is December 30, 1894

[edit] Underwear link

"Bloomers" (as in the underwear) links here.

I added a link to bloomers, as in the article of clothing. I thought it appropriate, since the article talks about them and Amelia Bloomer invented them. --Gary

[edit] Saints banner and category

Based on this individual being included in the Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church in the United States of America), I am adding the Category:Anglican saints and the Saints WikiProject banner to this article. I am awaiting reliable sources which can be used to add the content to the article. John Carter 19:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
