Obituary

Friday June 1, 1906 Clearfield Republican

The body of Mrs. Ella Lord who died at May, W. Va., on May 22, 1906, from injuries received while attempting to extinguish a fire built to consume a lot of rubbish in her yard on April 20, was brought to New Millport for burial last week.

Mrs. Lord was a daughter of the late William A. Bloom, of Pike. Her mother, Mrs. Lydia Bloom is still living. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Cox, the latter a sister [Jennie] of the deceased accompanied the remains from West Virginia.

The funeral was held at New Millport. Elmira Theresa Bloom, wife of R. W. Lord, was born February 27, 1862, died May 21, 1906, aged 44 years, 2 months and 24 days. Mrs. Lord was the youngest daughter of the late William A. Bloom, of New Millport, and was married to Robert W. Lord, in 1888? (Difficult to read the last number). She was at the time of her death, a resident of Elkins, W. Va., where with her husband and family, she had resided the last few years.

About six weeks ago; while engaged in burning some rubbish in the yard, her clothing caught fire, and before the fire could be extinguished, she was so severely burned, that she was at once removed to the Elkins Hospital, where, after several weeks of intense suffering, she died.

Mrs. Lord was a kind hearted woman, and was liked by those with whom she came in contact, as was attested to by the large number that attended her funeral.

Mrs. Lord was the first of the family of eleven children to answer the call of the grim reaper Death. She is survived by her aged mother, Mrs. Lydia Bloom, of New Millport; her husband, five children, and six brothers, and four sisters. They are Isaiah, of Clearfield; Enos, of New Millport; John, Glen Hope; Curtis, May, W. Va.; Antes, Olanta; A. B., New Millport; Mrs. Margery McCracken; Mrs. Frances McCracken, Mrs. Annie Bloom, all of new Millport, and Mrs. Jennie Cox, of May, W. Va.

[Regarding Robert’s middle name] it was not Warren, as far as I'm aware it was William. I don't know why it says that. Maybe just accent at the time was misunderstood. ? In fact, family used to call him "Billie" and there are letters that are signed "Billie Lord" and addressed to Billie Lord.7049
