Mrs. Bloom Dead 

  An illness of two months, following a stroke of paralysis, culminated 
last Saturday morning in the death of Mrs. Ellen Bloom, aged 72 years 
at her home on Horner Street.  Mrs. Bloom was born in Sinking Valley, 
Blair County and was married in 1848 to John P. Bloom of Altoona.  They 
removed to Clearfield, where Mr. Bloom died.  A few years later Mrs. 
Bloom and children removed to Wilmore and then to Ebensburg.  She was 
the mother of twelve children of whom the following survive:  Ira, the 
well known horseman and proprietor of the Bloom meat market here; L. Z. 
of Grand Island, Neb., formerly a member of the firm of Bloom & Morgan 
who conducted a planing mill and did contracting here; A. H. of St. 
Michael and Myrtle, wife of B. N. Nipps of Ebensburg. Mrs. Bloom was a 
lifelong member of the Congregational church, whose pastor, the Rev. H. 
H. Guernsey conducted funeral services at the house Monday.  Interment 
was made in Lloyd cemetery.
