A.W. Bloom Died Suddenly Today

A.W. Bloom died suddenly of heart failure at his home on 701 East Poplar street this morning about 10 o'clock. Heart disease was given as the cause of his sudden demise. He seemed to be in his usual health this morning.

Mr. Bloom was out in the yard doing the early morning small chores as was his habit about home. He was over 71 years of age, and the work he did, was not heavy, those little things about the barn and house which he found pleasure in doing to keep himself busy. About 10 o'clock he came into the house to lay down on a lounge to rest before dinner, or perhaps take a nap, according to his custom.

One of his daughters was in the room writing at the time, and in a few minutes, noticed her father breathing unnaturally. She called him, but he did not answer.

He had passed away. Physicians were summoned, but the aged man had been called to his reward without warning.

Deceased, with his family, came here about five years ago. They made many friends during their residence in the city and all extend the sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family. He is survived by his wife and eight children. The children are Harry C. Bloom, of Mt. Ida, Kansas; C.L. Bloom,Mrs. J.E. Goens, and O.M. Bloom all of this city, but at present in Bonner Springs, Mrs. P.H. Rouse, Marianna, Ark., who is spending the summer here; Grace Bloom, who lives at home, L.P. Bloom of Wayside and Dossa Bloom also at home.

Deceased was born in Pennsylvania where he spent the greater part of his life until the past few years when he came to Kansas. The funeral arrangements have not been completed as yet, but will be announced later. The services will probably take place some time Thursday. 2105
