Mrs. Daniel Bloser died in 1824, and he subsequently married Sarah Rex, and moved to Richland (now Crawford) County, Ohio, in about 1840, where they resided until she died, when he lived a retired life with his son until his death. Our subject, the second born by the second marriage, and only one living of his mother's five children, received his education in the schools of the home district and early apprenticed himself to the carpenter's trade, which he has followed nearly all his life.
