Hi, Jim, what would I need on my computer to do this? I had instances of contact with the County Home on both the BLOOM and HOWE lines. I will "root" through my "stuff" and see what I can come up with. On the BLOOM side, my G-Grandfather Matthew Bloom had himself committed in about 1896. Several of his children learned of this and got him out. On the HOWE side, I can't dredge up the husband's name, but Alice Howe and her husband ran the Home for several years. Alice oversaw the gardening, which was extensive and also did the laundry. The Matthew Bloom incident was reported in the "Raftsman's Journal" and I can't recall where the Howe incident was reported. I apologize to all for my sloppy data handling; my excuse being the advancing PD (Parkinson's Disease). If I have the necessary software, I will, as my Brit wife always says, "Have a go!". Happy hunting to all, God bless. Dan Howe HOWE-BLOOM-PACKER-SHOFF PS: Jim, if it involves traveling to Clearfield, I will have to pass. Two things the PD has robbed me of are the ability to drive(safely) and write (legibly). We don't own a car for the first time since 1954. DH
I don't know for sure. My guess would be Abode Acrobat, but I am not an expert. Also I don't think the board would approve taking the stuff out of the museum.
