Passport Application - Mrs. Buell (Belle) Bloch - 1906

This lady was the wife of Adolphus Bloch.  Her maiden name was Kahn. Her first child says he was born in Cromwell in 1871. There is an Belvina P. Bloch in the 1880 census (Butler County) that is probably her. I think she died in 1927 in Warren County, KY. There are clues that her husband and her parents were of German origin. I think she had at least three children: Oscar E.; Leopold; and Claud C.
