ALSPACH: Jacob M. Alspach was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, Feb. 19th, 1838, departed this life at North Judson, Ind., Oct. 16, 1914, aged 76 years, 7 months and 25 days. When but a small boy he moved with his parents to Henry county, Ind. There he grew to manhood. In the dark days of the sixties the call came from his countrymen to protect American liberty, that Old Glory may forever float over the land of the free and the home of the brave. He enlisted from Henry county, Ind., and was mustered into United States service at Richmond, Ind., August 19th, 1862, as a private of Company H, 69th Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, under Col. Bennett, to serve three years. During the war he was promoted to duty sergeant. In 1869 he was surrounded and captured at Richmond, Ky., paroled and exchanged at Richmond, Indiana. In 1863 was detailed to take charge of prison at Cincinnati, Ohio, in which capacity he served seven months. Honorably discharged June 29, 1866, at Washington, D. C., on account of the close of the war. After his return home he drifted west to the state of Iowa. At Ft. Dodge he was united in marriage with Addie Augusta Van Chief, Oct. 28th, 1869. To this union were born two daughters, Mrs. U. W. Vampner, of Guthrie, Okla., and Mrs. Dotie Hartigan, of North Judson, Ind., both of whom remained by his bed of affliction until the end. Besides these two daughters are four granddaughters, Miss Emily Hartigan, North Judson, Mrs. G. J. Adling, Mrs. Clint Robertson, Mrs. Bert Cole, of Guthrie, Okla. Six sisters, Mrs. Thomas Moore, Mrs. Sarah J. Miller, Mrs. Ellen Miller, Mrs. B. F. Biggs and Mary and Elizabeth Alspaugh. Four brothers and father and mother having preceded him to the spirit land. A large family of nieces and nephews and hosts of friends to mourn his departure. In 1876 he joined the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which he remained a member until death. He was also a member of the Daniel Lake Post G. A. R., No. 571, of North Judson, Indiana. While not having a membership with any church, his last-words were "God's will must be done." He had made his peace with God and was ready to go to his home beyond. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a brave soldier and a kind neighbor.
A link In the family chain is broken, He has entered the order above; There with his Master has spoken, He will finish his labors of love.
