Misc. Notes
Three months of school attendance covered all the educational advantages he ever had but nevertheless he became a successful business man and one whose judgment was often consulted concerning public matters. He resided on the present farm until within a few years of his death, when he retired to Curwensville, where he passed away in 1864, at the age of fifty-two years. His burial was in the Oak Hill cemetery.
He was a strong Democrat and probably at that time the Bloom family held the voting power in Clearfield county, on account of their numbers and about all of them being Democrats. In 1848 he was elected treasurer of Clearfield county and for many years he was a justice of the peace in Pike township. He married Leah Hoover, who was born in 1816, a daughter of George Hoover.
She died in 1879, at the age of sixty-two years. They were most excellent people in every relation of life, setting an admirable example to their thirteen children, whom they reared in the faith of the Presbyterian church.
