General Notes: Husband - John Bloom


He was born in New Jersey, and accompanied his father to Centre County, Pennsylvania, and later to Clearfield County. He became a farmer in Centre County, but after marriage, bought a farm of 165 acres in Pike Township, Clearfield County, from Matthew Taylor, of Centre County, the land then being included in that county. It was entirely undeveloped and so dense was the forest that then covered it that John Bloom was forced to join in with other settlers to make a road through that section of country in order that they might reach Curwensville. He was a man of much enterprise and became a citizen upon whose judgment his neighbors relied and from whom they often sought advice. He was a Democrat in his political views and at one time was tax collector for the whole county.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church.
