Jacob Kroh was born Dec. 12, 1794, and at the time of the burning of Washington* he concluded that he was old enough to aid his country, and accordingly, saddling his own horse, started out for the seat of war.

About 1827 he went with his family to Ohio, and was among the early settlers of Seneca County. He assisted in building the first German Reformed Church, at Tiffin, in that county, and subsequently was Treasurer and Secretary of the Heidelburg College established there. He was also Treasurer of the American Bible Society, which place he was filling at the time of his death. In addition to this he served as Justice of the Peace many years, and held various other township offices.

Politically, he was an old-line Democrat, and maintained his principles with all the natural strength of his character.

Jacob Kroh was twice married and the father of seventeen children, eleven of whom were living at the time of his death. He died in Seneca County, Ohio, April 10, 1856, and his wife Sara Tice who was born Oct. 18, 1810, preceded her husband to the silent land, her death taking place Sept. 6, 1838.

Jacob Kroh started in life with a capital of a few hundred dollars, but at the time of his decease was one of the wealthiest men of Seneca County. He gave to each of his children a liberal education, and some of them occupied themselves afterward as teachers. They were also prominent and worthy citizens, the result of their careful home training, and their natural inheritance of principles of uprightness and strict integrity.

*The Burning of Washington was a battle that took place on August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812 between the British Empire and the United States of America. The British Army occupied Washington, D.C. and set fire to many public buildings following the American defeat at the Battle of Bladensburg. The facilities of the U.S. government, including the White House and U.S. Capitol, were largely destroyed.
