THE END COMES TO DAVID M. BLOOM
Passed Away at His Home in Seneca Saturday
David Martin Bloom, native of Pennsylvania, for many years identified with the best interests of Seneca community, passed away peacefully to his rest at his home Saturday afternoon, November 27, at 4:30. He had been under a doctor's care the past year and had failed rapidly since Monday. His death was due to a heart weakness and the infirmities of his 76 years. He had suffered attacks of asthma for years and had undergone two operations for cataract. As long as he was able, he was a faithful attendant at church and Sunday School. He lived a happy, useful, Christian life. He was a member of the Methodist church in Seneca. Had previously been affiliated with the Evangelical Association.
