family of three children; was born in Bavaria, Germany, March
16, 1838; his parents were natives of Bavaria, his father's name
being George and his mother's Margaret Pherman; his
father served six years in the regular army in his native land,
and when discharged made farming his occupation. He
conceived the idea that he could better his circumstances by
coming to America, and accordingly crossed the briny deep in
1840; he came directly to Ohio and settled on a farm in what is
now Morrow Co., Congress Twp., where he now lives, owning one of
the neatest homes in this section of country. Jacob
lived around the family fireside until his marriage, Dec. 12,
1861, to Leah, daughter of John F. and Rachel
Garverick, who was born Jan. 10, 1843, in Morrow Co., Ohio.
By this marriage six children have been born - Mary E., John
H., Margaret R., Edward F., Webster and Cora.
Both he and wife are members of the German Reformed Church; he
owns a beautiful farm of 100 acres, which formerly belonged to
his father-in-law, John F. Garverick He has good
buildings, and his surroundings are such that he can take the
world easy and enjoy a quiet and contented life; he has followed
threshing for several years, with good success, and has always
been identified with the Democratic party. |
