PAUL D. BLOOM

   Among the younger generation of dairymen and ranchers in Merced County, Paul
D. Bloom has won a name and place for himself. He was born in Davis County,
Iowa, March 16, 1891, a son of John and Laura A. (Royer) Bloom. John Bloom was
born in Sweden, near Stockholm, and was reared on a farm. He left his native
land, lived in Iowa, where he married; in 1900 he came to California, eventually
locating in San Jose, where he passed his last days, dying at the age of
sixty-six years. He had been engaged in the hotel business in San Jose. Mrs.
Bloom still makes that city her home.

   Paul D. Bloom grew to manhood in San Jose and was educated in the public
schools, after which he started out to make his own way in the world when he was
twenty. His first employment was with the Standard Oil Company at San Jose in
the sales department. He was there until he came to Merced County, in 1918. Here
he located on the ranch owned by his father-in-law, Jasper Parnell, having at
first forty acres, but now operates 160 acres devoted to dairying and raising
alfalfa on shares.

   On July 16, 1913, occurred the marriage of Paul D. Bloom and Miss Julia
Stella Parnell, who was born in Stockton, the daughter of Jasper and Cassie
Parnell, mention of whom is made elsewhere in this volume. Mr. and Mrs. Bloom
have three children: Cedric, Mildred and Donald. Politically Mr. Bloom is a
Democrat. Fraternally he is a member of the Odd Fellows at Newman.
