On Sept. 22, 1891 Ike took part in the second land run on what was once Indian Territory, from Marche Arkansas. Ike and his family were one of the ten original family's that setteled the town of Harrah, Oklahoma. Ike secured a homestead of 160 acres, three miles east of Harrah. Ike's family lived in a dugout under ground for a year before they erected a tent made from the remnant of the wagon, where they lived for the next 2 years. Later they built a 10 ft. by 10 ft. dirt floor cabin. Ike and Katie farmed the land and raised their children in Harrah. At the age of 71 years in 1920 Ike died of natural causes. During his life he lived without electricity and a motor vehicle. Most of his family still live in and around Harrah, Oklahoma and have many businesses around the Oklahoma City area.
On Ikes headstone it has the word "Ojciec" which means "Father" and his name is spelled "Ignac Jezewski" It also says: Urouzil sie dnia 29 Slycznia 1859 which I believe is his birth date and UMarl dnia 20 Sierzpnia 1920, which is his death date. The name JORSKI is on the base and the rest is on the main stone.
