General Notes: Husband - John I. Bloom
In boyhood, he first attended the cross roads school which was near the Price farm, a log building with very primitive accommodations. Later he attended the Bloomington school for three winter months. He then helped his father and brothers to clear off the land and to place it under cultivation. Being the youngest, he remained on the homestead and after his brothers settled on farms of their own and his father grew old, he took over the entire management. When he came into full possession he erected comfortable and substantial farm buildings. The land was all cleared with the exception of forty acres of valuable timber. A coal bank on the farm was leased to the Bloomington Coal Mining Company and its output was 400 tons daily. Until he retired from active labor, Mr. Bloom carried on general farming and was always considered a careful and judicious agriculturist. He spent practically his entire life on that farm. During the Civil War he was twice drafted for military service but on both occasions was declined on account of physical disability.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church. He was a Democrat in politics and for sixteen years served in the office of constable. He was a member of Bloomington Grange.
