("Jincy", nee Jane Deweese, was daughter of David and Rhoda Chandler Deweese. We show a death date for husband John Piper of September of this year, and a death date for Jincy of February. By this census, enumerated on the 17th of July 1860, we believe the death dates passed to us are in error and further investigation is merited. Samuel Gooden, farm laborer residing in the Piper family home will soon marry Mary E. Dunaway, dau of Aquilla and Mary Deweese Dunaway, niece of Jincy, whose family relocated to the Marion/Jasper County Iowa area presumably together in the late 1850s)

(Jincie, below, nee Jane Deweese, is daughter of David and Rhoda Chandler Deweese. We are confounded to discover her living in this year since the death date we "all" have for her has been February of 1860! Can anyone shed any light on this "mystery"?...Also living in Jincy's household by this decade is spouse of five years of daughter Julia, George Eakes.)

GEORGE EOKARS. - If the old country had not contributed largely to the population of the new, western Iowa would not have reached its present high state of development. Germany has furnished her full quota of excellent men, and among them George Eokars, a citizen of Shelby County, honored and respected by the whole population. Mr. Eokars was born, in Baden, Germany, June 2, 1838. He is a son of Jacob and Barbara Eokars, who emigrated from Germany to America when he was seven years old. They settled in New York, and here he grew to manhood. He was a carpenter by occupation, and followed this trade until his twenty-third year. At the age of eighteen years he left New York and went to New Orleans, working at his trade while in that city. He next went to Panama, and thence to St. Louis, Missouri, spending one winter in the latter place. He spent the following year in St. Joe, Missouri, serving as watchman in the freight depot. The winter of 1859 was passed in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the spring of the same year found our subject in the company of six comrades, journeying to Colorado for the purpose of engaging in mining. This party camped on the present site of Denver, and Mr. Eokars remained there until 1861, mining and dealing extensively in mining stocks. After quitting Colorado he came to Iowa, and found employment on a farm in Jasper County. Here he remained for some time.
Mr. Eokars was united in marriage, December 7, 1864, to Julia Piper, daughter of John and Jane Piper. She was born December 2, 1841. Her mother's maiden name was Deweese. After his marriage Mr. Eokars rented a farm for four years, and then purchased a farm of eighty acres in Jasper County. He remained on this place but a short time, however, and decided to try his fortunes in Shelby County. He bought forty acres of unimproved land in Douglas Township, and immediately set to work to put it under cultivation. The same autumn he erected a comfortable dwelling and bought another forty acres of wild land. He has continued to buy land until he now owns 650 acres of magnificent farm land, under a very high state of cultivation. Mr. Eokars deals largely in live-stock, and to-day has one of the most convenient and complete stock farms in western Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Eokars came to Iowa at an early day, and have endured all the privations incident to the pioneer's life. They have by economy and industry sur- rounded themselves with comforts which they may well enjoy, and they have won a position in the county of which they may well be proud. They are the parents of three children -- Mary and Thomas (deceased), and Lizzie, still living at home. They have taken two children to raise -- William Hayes, now fourteen years old, and Hattie Piper, now ten years of age.
Politically Mr. Eokars is a Republican, and has been officially identified with his township in many offices. He has served as a member of the county board of supervisors with credit to himself and the entire satisfaction of the people. He is an active member of Parian Lodge, No. 321, A. F. & A. M.; Olivet Chapter, No. 107, R. A. M., and Mt. Zion Commandery, No. 49, K. T., and of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Eokars is also a member of the Eastern Star. Mr. Eokars has been very successful in his dealing in live-stock, and a visit to his place will show that he is a thoroughly practical farmer who understands his calling.
