JOHN I. BLOOM, a highly respected retired farmer of Pike Township, Clearfield
County, Pa., owns 165 acres of valuable land on which he was born March 22,
1831.
In boyhood, John I. Bloom 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 the present comfortable and substantial farm buildings. The land is all cleared with the exception of forty acres of valuable timber. A coal bank on the farm is leased to the Bloomington Coal Mining Company and its output is 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 has practically spent his entire life on this farm. During the Civil War he was twice drafted for military service but on both occasions was declined on account of physical disability.
Mr. Bloom was married August 22, 1854, to Miss Mary Frantz, who was born May 5, 1838, in Clarion County, Pa., a daughter of George Frantz and Eliza (Taylor) Frantz.
