| JACOB YAKE was born Oct. 8, 1852, in Richmond Twp., the son of George and Catharine (Wick) Yake. His grandfather Yake came from Germany about 1833, entering eighty acres near where our subject resides, and cleared nearly the whole farm. He died when aged eighty-five years, his only child having inherited the property, and increased it to 440 acres, all joining and also purchased 150 acres in Morrow County, where he still resides. His family consists of three sons and one daughter. Recently he gave to each child eighty acres, obliging them to pay $1,600 each. Our subject having received a common school education, married March 18, 1875, Miss Caroline Groll, daughter of Frederick Groll. The names of their three children are Harvey J., Charles W. and Ella C. B. In 1878, Mr. Yake built a neat house, expending therefore $1,500. His farm is worth $75 per acre. His politics are Democratic. |
