Misc. Notes
MRS. LUELLA BLOOM, a lady who is well known for her many admirable qualities as well as her business qualifications, resides on her very valuable farm of 100 acres, which is situated three miles south of Clearfield, Pa.

She is the widow of the late W. Sloss Bloom, and a daughter of A. A. and Jerusha (Bloom) Kelley. Mrs. Bloom was born near Bloomington, Pa., and was educated at Lumber City and in the Pine Grove schoolhouse, in Lawrence township.

In February, 1890, Luella Kelley was married to W. Sloss Bloom. After marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Bloom went to housekeeping on the present farm which they bought from John F. Read and was known in the neighborhood as the Joseph Tait farm. All the attractive and substantial buildings were built by Mr. and Mrs. Bloom.

He was an excellent business man and in addition to general agriculture, including some stock raising, opened up a fine coal bank, a 42-inch vein which has been very profitable. More recently a new 32-inch vein has been opened.

Since taking charge of the place Mrs. Bloom has shown excellent business capacity and every branch of the farm industries is in a flourishing condition. Her residence is a model of comfort and she has recently installed a telephone.

Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bloom, all of whom still live at home: Kay, Guy, Wava and Hazel, the two younger ones being students in the Clover Hill School. Mrs. Bloom and children are members of the Presbyterian church, to which Mr. Bloom was also attached. He was a stockholder in the Farmers' and Traders' Bank at Clearfield.4484
