Obit: "Seneca Advertiser" June 8, 1849

It becomes our painful duty to record one of the most shocking casualties that has ever come under our notice, and which resulted in the death of our townsman Francis Souder, on Friday last. The deceased in company with a number of our citizens, was engaged in moving a small frame building in from the street, which had been pryed from its foundation and set upon rollers. The building had been moved probably six feet, when one of the timbers upon which it was rolling was found to be too narrow for the rollers. To remedy this, Mr. S. endeavored to procure a plank, which was lying under the building, intending to place it upon the timber, and while reaching under to obtain it, inadvertently placed his head in the aperture formed between one of the sleepers and the timber beneath, when the fulcrum of the lever suddenly giving way, the building fell upon his head and crushed it in the most shocking manner, completely fracturing the skull and pressing it into the brain. Mr. S. was taken unconscious from the place, in which condition he lingered for a few hours and expired. The deceased leaves a bereaved wife and family to deplore his untimely death.

he was acquainted in the history of the western states and Canada.

The History of Hardin County, Ohio -- Chicago; Warner, Beers & Co. 1883.

"EARHART BLOOM, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born in Hesse, Germany, September 14, 1818, and is a son of Michael and Barbara (Calip) Bloom, who were natives of the same place. His mother died when he was six years old, and in 1833, he emigrated with his father to the United States, settling near

Shellsburg, Penn., thence moving the following year to Tiffin, Ohio. His father died there the same year, 1834, leaving five children, two of whom also died that year. John died in 1839, leaving Andrew and our subject the only survivors. The former is a resident of Tiffin, Ohio. Our subject is the youngest child,

and was reared principally on a farm. In 1841, he began working at molding in a foundry in Tiffin, and stayed here three years. In October of 1844, he came to Kenton, built a foundry, and was the first in Hardin County to make a plow; it was cast on the evening of the 3d of May, 1845. In 1856, he erected his present foundry, and remained in the business until June of 1877, employing at the commencement, eight hands, and closing with a force of fifteen hands. He manufactured plows and machinery, and kept a general repair shop. His foundry cost him about $4,000 and is situated on the corner of Main and North streets. The property is still owned by him, but he retired from the business in June, 1877. In February, 1879, he removed to his farm of 213 acres of land which he had purchased in 1864 and 1865. His brick residence was erected in 1879, at a cost of $3,000. He was married, April 18, 1844, to Julia A., daughter of Lewis and Louise Faulhaver. Ten childred resulted from this union, four living, viz.: John B.,

Matilda, Callie L., wife of David Newcomb, and Lewis P. Mr. Bloom's family attend the Presbyterian Church. In Politics, he is a Democrat; has held the office of Township Trustee for four years; has been a member of the School Board for three years, and of the City Council six years. He helped to found the

savings bank, of which he was a stockholder, and, with J. S. Robinson, built the first two miles and a half of pike ever made in Hardin County. He owns 213 acres of land besides the foundry buildings and town property, all secured by his own energy and exertion."

From "Centennial History of Hardin County, Ohio 1833 - 1933" found in Washington Co. Library, Marietta, OH:

"Kenton Foundry and Machine Works -- In 1844, Earhart Bloom established a small foundry on the southeast corner of Main and North Streets (now the site of the First Methodist Church) and there, on the 3rd of May, 1845, he made the castings of the first plow ever manufactured in Hardin County. In 1856, Mr. Bloom erected a two-story brick machine shop in front of the old frame foundry. Soon after, he built a brick foundry and blacksmith shop on the site of the old foundry and carried on the business until 1877, when he sold out to Lewis Bloom, John W. Born and David Newcomb. They manufactured

brick presses, field rollers and sawing machines. The present Methodist Church has occupied this site since 1890."

"EARHART BLOOM DEAD

Pioneer Manufacturer of Kenton Passes Away

Deceased Build First Foundery Here and Was Prominent Citizen For Many Years

Earhart Bloom is dead. This well known and highly esteemed German-American pioneer and citizen of the community, passed away at his home 2 1/2 miles south of Kenton, this norning at 2:30, old age having caused havoc in his health.

Mr. Bloom was 87 years old, and had been a resident in Kenton or vicinity since the '40's, or before the Mexican war.

Erhart Bloom built the first foundry in Kenton and conducted this and a machine shop with it for nearly forty years. He was one of the builders of Kenton, and his memory deserves,m as he enjoyed in life, the honor and esteem of our city.

He was born at Hesse, Germany, in May, 1818, and after his mother's death, he at the age of 18 years immigrated with his father to the United States.

They lived in Pennsylvania for two years and then moved to Tiffin, Seneca county where the boy became an apprectice in an iron foundry. He worked at his trade until a year or two after he was of age and then married Miss Julia A. Faulhaver, a Tiffin young lady and moved to Kenton.

Mr. Bloom arrived here in the early 40's, for the purpose of going into business for himself. He built a brick foundery and machine shop on north Main street on the lot now occupied by the Methodist church.

This was the first enterprise of the kind for our town. The first plow made in this vicinity was turned out by Mr. Bloom and sold to a Mr. Wagner of west of Kenton. Mr. Bloom conducted it most successfully many years; and in the year 1878 or thereabouts, he retired from business.

The old foundery and machine shop and the lot were sold to the Methodist church, and the thousands of bricks in the buildings were utilized in the construction of the church.

In politics Mr. Bloom was a Democrat. He held the office of township trustees for four years, was a member of the school board for three years and of the city council for six years. He helped to found the Kenton Savings bank and assisted in building the first two and half miles of pike made in Hardin county.

Mrs. Earhart Bloom passed to the great beyond several years ago, and most of the time since Mr. Bloom has resided with his children, four survive them. They are John B. Bloom, Louis P. Bloom, Mrs. Dave Newcomb and Miss Tillie Bloom.

The funeral will occur Sun., at 2 pm from the Bloom residence south of Kenton and will be officiated by Rev. Henry Katterjohn and Rev. W. M. Hindman. The burial will be made in Grove cemetery."
