From the History of Whiteside county:  

 Jacob Feldman, one of the native sons of Morrison, born in 1859, passed away April 3, 1891.

Jacob Feldman, reared in his native city, pursued his early education in the schools of Morrison and afterward attended a German school at West Chicago. On putting aside his text-books he entered his father’s restaurant and was associated with him in business until his death. He had a wide acquintance in the city where his entire life was passed and where his many good qualities won for him favorable regard and popularity. In business he was energetic and throughly reliable and was therefore regarded as a worthy representative of the commercial interests of Morrison.

In 1882, Mr. Feldman was married to Miss Carrie Schoch, who was born in Geneva, Kane county, Illinois, in 1860, a daughter of Christian and Magdalena Schoch, the former a farmer by occupation. Both died during the infancy of their daughter, who was adopted by her uncle, Martin Schoch. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Feldman were born four children: Florence, who was born in 1884 and died in infancy; Alonzo J., who was born in 1886 and is a stenographer in Chicago; Elsie, born in 1888 and now at home; and Ella May, born in 1890 and a student in the public schools.

Mr. Feldman owned a fine home and business block in Morrison in addition to his restaurant interests. Fraternally he was well known, being affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the Masons. He attained the Knight Templar degree in the latter and the funeral services were conducted by the commandery of Sterling. His religious faith was indicated by his membership in the German Lutheran church while his wife is a member of the Presbyterian church. The fact that many of his stanchest friends were those who knew him from his boyhood, indicated that his life was honorable and upright and that he justly merited the confindence and good will of those with whom he was associated. His death was the occassion of deep regret, not only to his family but to many of Morrison’s residents who had learned to esteem and honor him.,
