***********************************
***I was given this story about William Bloom Sr. and wanted to past it on. Thank you, John Macomber.***

William Bloom Sr. was an infant at the time his parents emigrated to America. While living in New Jersey.
A story handed down by tradition is 'when William Bloom was called to the military service, two men came to notify him. While he was getting his things together to go with them, his wife cast bullets for his muzzle loading gun and after he left, she went to the field to continue the plowing with an oxen team', this was often told by James Ross Caldwell, his grand-son.

Note: Records say: BLUM and it must of changed along the way to BLOOM
