General Notes: Husband - Abram Bloom

---

He was a native of Germany, and was quite small when his father brought the family to America and located in New Jersey, where Abram grew to manhood and married. There most of his children were born. Being in limited circumstances, he first came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, on foot, and purchased a small tract of land in Jordan township. In 1832, with his household effects and family in a one-horse wagon, he removed to his new home, erected a cabin, and at once commenced to transform the heavily-timbered tract into a productive farm. Being a natural mechanic, his services were often in demand in that sparsely-settled region where few artisans were then found, and he manufactured many sleighs, repaired and did other work in wood and iron. After residing there for about ten or twelve years he went to Harrisburg, where he worked for a time, but soon afterward died in Cumberland County, leaving his widow with several small children to support, and only about fifteen acres of the farm under cultivation.
He was ninety-three years old when called to his final rest.

General Notes: Wife - Nancy Freeman

---

When her husband died she was left with several small children to support, and only about fifteen acres of the farm under cultivation. With the exception of her son Isaac, she managed to keep her children together, and made her home on the farm for many years. Subsequently it was divided between the two eldest sons, and she went to live with her children, dying at the home of one of them, at the age of seventy-three years. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church.
