THE CAMPBELL CITIZEN (Campbell, Nebraska)-Thursday, April 7, 1927-Page 1.
Jacob T. Brown was born in Perry County, Ohio, January 20, 1844. His parents were early settlers of Ohio, having emigrated from the state of Delaware. He was the youngest of a family of fourteen children and lived at the old homestead with his parents until the outbreak of the Civil War.
His father, Joseph Brown, had served as a drummer boy in the War of 1812, and also beat the same martial tones in the call for troops by Abraham Lincoln. At this time Jacob was but seventeen years of age, but when his country called he was ready and enlisted in the 90th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in which he served until the close of the war. This regiment made an enviable record as a unit in the soldier record of Mr. Brown as he rose from the rank of common private to positions of trust and honor is one of which his descendants may be proud.
On April 9, 1867, he was united in marriage to Mattie J. Brown whose family had emigrated to Ohio from the State of Maryland. To this union were born eight sons, the youngest of whom died in infancy. Those surviving are Corwin O. Supt. of Schools at Campbell, Nebraska,; Charles A., farmer in Pawnee County; Ed. Lee, Real Estate and Insurance Agent at Pawnee City; Herbert T., farmer in Pawnee County; Earl W., farmer in Washington County, Kansas; Foster R. in the employ of Central Creamery Co. of Beatrice, Nebraska; and Beverly C., who is farming the home place.
For nineteen years Mr. Brown was engaged in the Stoneware and Crockery business, buying from the factories and shipping to points in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky and Missouri. He was very successful in this business, but decided to engage in agricultural pursuits for the benefit of his growing boys.
In the spring of 1885, he emigrated to Pawnee County, Nebraska, settling on the present homestead 3 1/2 miles south of Pawnee City.
Until the present time he has been engaged in building up the homestead and for many years, has also represented the American Steel Wire and Woven Fence Company. His success in this line is attested by the many miles of wire fence all over the county, most of which was sold by him.
His loving companion and wife, the mother of his seven living sons, preceded him to the great beyond, August 31, 1912.
He was united in marriage to Mrs. Rachel Fogg of Zanesville, Ohio. This second companion has done her best to fill a vacant place and has comforted Mr. Brown and has administered to his needs during his declining years in a manner to win the respect and honor of the community and the love and affection of the sons who still regard the old homestead as home.
Uncle Jake as he was familiarly called by most of those who knew him has been failing in health for the past few months and it soon became apparent that the spirit must be released. The end came on Friday, April 1, at 11:50 P.M. in the presence of the wife and seven sons. There was no sickness and no pain; but father was worn out and tired and just passed on into that other sphere where loved ones were waiting.
Father was a member of the Methodist Church for practically all his life. His Christian life and his integrity in business affairs is known to all and the sons all unite in saying that they have no higher ambition then to be as good a man as Dad.
His work is now done, but he is still with us in spirit and will remain with us, not as a mere memory, but as a real inspiration as the years go by.
The funeral services were held at the residence on Tuesday, April 5, 1927, conducted by Rev. Milo W. Rose, his pastor, and he was laid to rest in the Pawnee Cemetery beside the bride of his youth.
