HIRAM JACKSON COUNTY'S OLDEST LIVING SETTLER IS FAIR VISITOR HIRAM JACKSON, WHO HAS RESIDED IN COUNTY 70 YEARS, INTERESTED SPECTATOR AT BIG SHOW TODAY FAMILY SETTLED HERE IN 1846. JACKSON NOW 77 Hiram Jackson, one of the oldest, if not the oldest living settler of the county, is a visitor at the county fair and despite his 77 years, interested himself in the exhibits and entertainment of the show. Mr. Jackson, whose home is on Rural Route No. 1, has been a resident of Manitowoc county for nearly 70 years and there are few who can equal his record. The Jackson family came originally from the state of Vermont, and from the same locality that Uncle Emmerson, Sheriff Blake and Capt. Morse hailed from. The Jacksons had relatives in Pennsylvania who induced them to leave their homes in the jagged realms of the "Green Mountains" to locate on farms in the Quaker state. There they remained but a year when they decided to go on further west. Mrs. Jackson, Hiram's mother, who, by the way, was a woman of literary attainments, had been in correspondence with a nephew who was employed in the sawmills at the Rapids, this county, and his glowing description of the country in this locality finally led the family to moving here. It was at a time of a great exodus from the east to the west. Two neighboring families also caught the fever and concluded to join the Jacksons on their trip here. After selling out their belongings the three families set out in a "prairie schooner," starting from Erie, Pa., on their tedious journey which took them six weary weeks to make. In the vicinity of Chicago one of the families left the party to locate there and the other family concluded to remain in the vicinity of Milwaukee. The Jackson family, however, was bent to make this point, the trip from Sheboygan taking three days. On a Saturday evening just after dusk, the family reached a summit overlooking the village valley of the Rapids. On both sides of the river they beheld many Indians and their many campfires seemed to blaze forth a greeting of welcome. There were no stores in the village at that time and the settlers had to go to Manitowoc to buy their supplies from an Indian trader named Peleg Glover, who conducted a store at the intersection of York and Sixth streets. Jackson's horses were shod by Mr. Roberts, father of Dr. Roberts, whose little shop stood on the lake front on the south side, at a point from which a pier was being built out in the lake the same year. The Manitowoc river was still in its primeval state, no bridges having been built and no dredging done. To reach the smithy Mr. Jackson had to ford the river at its mouth which at certain times in the year proved the shallowest of our waterway. Such fording today would c ertainly prove a hazardous undertaking. The family located on a farm on the Calumet road, a few miles west of the present site of the city, the farm becoming a landmark in the county. Here the son, Hiram, and his estimable spouse are spending their declining years in comfort and contentment. His 77 years weigh but lightly on Mr. Jackson, and from all appearances he will certainly live long enough to substantiate his claim some day of being the oldest living pioneer settler in the county.

IDA JACOB SHROUDED IN GLOOM. Mrs. Elijah Houghton and Mrs. Bernard Jacobs Respond to Final Summons-Both Victims of Consumption JACOBS. After weary months of suffering, borne with that cheerful resignation which had characterized her life, Mrs. Bernard Jacobs, gave up the hard fought battle, the spirit taking its flight from earth and entering upon its eternal heritage, at an early hour to-day. For six years the deceased has been a sufferer from consumption, but not until within the past few weeks had she been obliged to take to her bed. Although the ravages of disease were apparent, death was not expected. Ida Hacker, the subject of this sketch, was born at Liberty, Sept. 18, 1868, and her early life was spent in that town. November 11, 1887, she was united in marriage to Bernard Jacobs. They took up their residence at 1518 Clark street where they have since resided, the husband being employed at the Seating factory. Three children blessed the union; one child died in infancy, the other two, with the father survive to mourn their loss. One brother Emil Hacker, and three sisters, Mrs. Wm. Welk, Mrs. E. Gerpheide and Mrs. Knut Rudy all of this city also survive. The sympathy of their many friends will be extended to the family in this sad hour of affliction. That she should thus early be called, in the summer of life be taken away is one of those unrevealed mysteries of our Heavenly father that no human intellect has yet been able to reconcile and which makes the believer's task so difficult to say in sincerity and resignation, "Thy will, not mine be done." The funeral will be held fromt he late home Tuesday afternoon. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, December 9, 1899 P.1 ********** [Ida Jacobs/bur. 12-09-1899/age 31 yrs./cause: consumption]
