Taylor
The Frum family was established in the wilderness of West Virginia soon after the close of the Revolutionary war, and members of some four or five generations have left their impress as good citizens in several localities, including Taylor County. Farming and coal mining have perhaps been the chief activities of the family, and its members have also been noted for their readiness to respond to military service when the nation required it.
Jedediah was born at Center Point, Doddridge County, June 28, 1857, and was about eight years of age when his parents moved to Taylor County, reaching the community of Rosemont November 28, 1865. Here he spent his boyhood and youth and acquired a common school education. He lived with and took care of his aged mother and was never absent from her as long as six months. While he was teaching school he was away four months. He began teaching at the age of seventeen and taught four terms altogether.
Following that for eight years he worked around the mines of Tyrconnell, now Rosemont, with the Newburg-Oral Coal Company. Aside from this his occupations were farming and stock raising. His farm was a part of the Solomon Frum homestead.
He served fifteen years as a member of the Board of Education of Flemington District, was president of the
board eleven years and he served fifteen years as road surveyor or supervisor. Good roads and good schools were the matters closest to his heart in the way of community improvement and advancement. While he was on the board the first high school was established in the district and two good grade schools were also erected. Mr. Frum was a staunch Republican in politics, though in local elections he voted for the man rather than the party. While not a member of any church, he believed in the wholesomeness of churches.
He was a noble grand of the Odd Fellows Lodge and four times was a representative to the Grand Lodge.
