Zachariah M. Bloom, who resides [in 1911] on the farm of seventy-five acres, situated in Pike township, on which he was born, March 16, 1843, is one of the well known and representative men of this section and a member of one of the oldest and most substantial families. He is a son of William Bloom and a grandson of Peter Bloom, both of whom were born in Pike township.

Zachariah attended the Welsh school when he was a boy but after he was sixteen years of age he worked on the farm during the summers and at lumbering in the winters. He was married in 1870 and then settled on a farm in Pike township, near the one he now occupies [1911], moving then to Lawrence township, where he lived for two years, when he returned to the log house on his former farm and resided there until November, 1881, when he came to the homestead. He has added land and has erected a new barn and built an addition to the house. His land is all cleared with the exception of six acres in valuable timber.

During the closing year of the Civil war he enlisted in Co. D, 76th Pa. Vol. Inf., and served until the end, some five months. He escaped the misfortunes of his older brother [David who died while in the Civil War] and came home practically unharmed.

Formerly he belonged to the G. A. R.* post at Clearfield. Politically he is a Democrat and has frequently been tendered public offices and has served one term on the school board and two terms as road supervisor.

To Mr. and Mrs. Bloom, twelve children have been born. Mr. and Mrs. Bloom are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. The hospitality of their home is known all over Pike township. [1]
