**********************************************************************

Frederick F. Blom, merchant, is the son of Henry W. and Cathrina E.
(Dickman) Blom, both natives of Germany.  The mother had been pre-
viously married to a Mr. Voltman, with whom she came to St. Louis.
She was afterward married to the father of our subject, and later
moved to Franklin County, where she died.  She had one son by her
first marriage, and ten sons and two daughters by her second marriage.
Of these children only five are now living.  Frederick F. was born in
Franklin County, January 23, 1860, and was educated in the common 
schools of the county.  He remained at home until 1882, when he was
united in marriage to Miss Catherine M. Lefmann, a native of this 
County, born in the year 1861.  To this union were born three children,
viz.: Louis H. W., Henry W., Frederick W.  In 1881, Mr. Blom, in part-
nership with his father, opened a store of general merchandise at 
Jeffriesburgh, where they remained in partnership two years, when the
son became sole proprietor, and has been in active business ever since.
In 1886 he was appointed postmaster at Jeffriesburgh, and is holding
the office at present.  Mr. Blom has made this county his home all his
life, and is accounted a good business man and an honest, upright citi-
zen.  In politics, he is a stanch Democrat, but has never aspired to 
any place of public trust, but has always attended strictly to business,
and as a result has met with well merited success and patronage.
