Jacob Albert Schierholz was born February 27, 1851, in Norderstapel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, the son of Peter Jacob Schierholz and Catharina Frahm. He emigrated from Germany on February 27, 1869. After arriving in America, he made his way to Boone County, Iowa, where he purchased 40 acres of land in Yell Township, and had to walk approximately ten miles from Boone to his newly purchased property in Yell, since the railroad was not yet completed beyond Boone. He married Frances Harriet McKune on September 20, 1880. Their children were: Emma L., Catharine Elizabeth, Peter Hezekiah, Jacob Edward, Frances Minerva, Harriet A., Albert Harrison, Lurena E., Mabel Ellen, Wilhelm George, and Louie Cecil. He was considered by his peers to be an industrious and energetic farmer who finally owned 140 acres of land in Yell Township and who was well-liked in his community. When he died May 22, 1940, in Boone, Iowa, of a stroke, at the home of his son, Albert, he was one of the oldest pioneers in the county, and had been a resident of the United States for 72 years.
