Education and career

Kloeb (grandson of Francis Celeste Le Blond) was born in Celina, Ohio. He attended the parochial and public schools, Ohio State University at Columbus and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. During the First World War, Kloeb enlisted as a seaman in the United States Navy, advanced to quartermaster, third class, and then to ensign, and served from September 1917 to March 1919. He graduated from the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in 1917, was admitted to the bar the same year and commenced practice in Celina in April 1919. He served as prosecuting attorney of Mercer County, Ohio, from 1921 to 1925.[1][2] He continued in private practice until 1933.[2]
