     The nationality of William Carl Jacobs was Oglala Lakota. William, Charles Frederick Jacobs's child, resided with Charles Between 1934 and 1939, Josephine and Charley had a baby each year. During most of this time, they lived out of railroad boxcars that were brought in for the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp..) workers.
After working for the CCC Charley got a job at the Pine Ridge Hospital as a maintenance man and bought a two-room house. With seven kids and Dad (William C.) on the way, he strengthened what he bought and added a big kitchen, and added rooms as the family grew. Josephine would say, "If this house ever burnt down, we could rebuild it with the nails that Charley used.", at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, circa 1934.¹ William, Charles Frederick Jacobs's child, resided with Charles Between 1934 and 1939, Josephine and Charley had a baby each year. During most of this time, they lived out of railroad boxcars that were brought in for the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp.) workers.
After working for the CCC Charley got a job at the Pine Ridge Hospital as a maintenance man and bought a two-room house in southeast Pine Ridge. With seven kids and me (William C.) on the way, he strengthened what he bought and added a big kitchen, and added rooms as the family grew. Josephine would say, "If this house ever burnt down, we could rebuild it with the nails that Charley used.", at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1934.¹ William Carl Jacobs was Catholic. William was born at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Porcupine, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on October 31, 1938. When William was born in 1939, His Mom said that she was embarrassed to see a blonde, white skinned baby, so different from her others. She didn't know how to explained it to Charley. What she didn't know was that the Jacobs had a blonde hair gene that runs in our family, just like the Jumping Eagles has a crooked little finger gene. He became Dad's 'Pet.' He later was nicknamed Bill by his family and of his pastimes included: stamp collecting, boxing, track and basketball..¹ He was the son of Charles Frederick Jacobs and Josephine Zavarine Jumping Eagle.¹ An unknown person nF was enrolled with the Oglala Sioux(!) and assigned an enrollment number of Oglala Sioux(!).¹ He was a student at Oglala Community High School, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1945. School: Had to take kindergarden over again at Days School. In 1942 he started 1st grade at the Boarding School. In 2nd. his best friend was Joseph Charging and he began getting in fist fights. Bill started boxing in 1948 while in the 3rd. grade. His only loss was to Billy Cummings. 1949 started with a blizzard and Melvin Brown said we were at war..¹ William, Charles Frederick Jacobs's child, resided with Charles 1945-1953 Charley and his family moved home after the war and Charley returned to his job at the Pine Ridge hospital. He was good with his hands and could fix anything. His first chore was to add two bedrooms to the house. He spent a lot of time under his pickup which none of us kids took an interest to his disappointment. We did help him with the addition to the house, and the following summer, dug out the basement. He cemented it. We got our own water pump in '48, but it froze up during the winter of '49. The following summer, Charley dropped the pump six feet underground, hooked up an electric motor, and ran pipes into the house. With a flick of a switch and a five minute wait, we had running water. No more going after water. They used have to carry it from John Adam's pump and after that ran dry, from Johsie Means's place.
Chopping wood and feeding the stove was an ongoing chore. Hunting for wood was an autumn adventure. Every couple years we dug a hole for the toilet, and filled up the old. He always did the work, but shared with the kids. One of his projects was to get hot running water in the house. He bought a steel water tank and ran water through the wood stove by pipes into the tank. The idea failed but he later used the tank.
In 1951, Holy Rosary Mission won the state championship and Ronnie was named to the all-state team. Us boys were getting into our teens, and were mischievous, if not wild. Mom was in her early forties. We were into boxing and doing good, but were little over-confident. Chuck got in trouble and was sent to the reformatory. Sissy begins running away from school. Up to this point, Dad only drank about twice a year. This mild mannered man was mean when he got drunk. He was only 5' 6", but he backed off the town bully, they remembered him from his CCC days. Although he never came after us kids, we slept with our windows open. His drinking became more frequent. We would make trips to visit Chuck in Englewood, Co. That year, Pine Ridge decided to send a team to the Golden Gloves. We won four of seven weigh classes, and took second in two others. Dad would come to all our fights, bringing Grampa and Gramma Jumping Eagle. With the potato harvest, Dad tried to make home made whiskey in the unused water tank. Grampa came to live with us that winter, and he lived in the basement with the water tank. All his friends came to visit him and they talked and sany about old times. When Dad found out the most of his green whiskey was gone, he was mad. Him and Ogden Wilson finished it of f. Mom and Dad decided it was time to get away from Pine Ridge for all concerned. He put in for the Relocation Program, and we moved to California in August 1953., at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1945.¹ He traveled with Charles Frederick Jacobs to Colorado in 1952. During the summer of '52, Dad couldn't afford a vacation. His solution was a working family vacation in Colorado. The whole family went picking, and could visit Chuck. He got out after serving 18 months..¹ William, Charles Frederick Jacobs's child, resided with Charles, at Hollywood, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, on 8, 1953. 1953-1958 Until we went to California, we didn't know what poor was. Dad always had a job where there was no jobs. We were as well or better of f than our neighbors. Our first house was two bedroom duplex in Hollywood. After a month on his promised job, Dad was laid off. He went out to the local 'Friendly" Bar and got drunk. He was able to get another job the following week from whence he retired, and only drank socially after. Every year after, Charley and Josephine would go on vacation to Pine Ridge, taking different routes. Charley formed a close relationship with his daughter Ann. He drank socially one night a week and just about never got drunk. He saw his kids get married and have 25 grandchildren of 33..¹ He was a student at Hollywood High School, Hollywood, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, after 1953. School: In High School, Bill particiapated in Basketball and track. In his first year in L.A. Bill beat up a Chicano gang leader and had to change schools to Hollywood High.

     Paul John Brewer speaks (an unknown value). He speaks (an unknown value). His Social Security Number was 539-12-8913 after 1914. He was Catholic. Paul was born at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Porcupine, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on August 17, 1914.^1,2,3 He was the son of Robert James Brewer and Bessie Janis.¹ An unknown person nF was enrolled with the Enrolled at the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation as 3/8 Oglala Sioux with and enrollment number of OS-7687.(!) and assigned an enrollment number of Enrolled at the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation as 3/8 Oglala Sioux with and enrollment number of OS-7687.(!).¹ He applied for homestead land at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on July 24, 1916.⁴ He was a student at Holy Rosary Mission Boarding School, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1922. School: At the age of 8 Paul was sent to the Mission boarding school in Pine Ridge. As in most Indian Boarding schools Paul had a hard time because he didn't speak English and this was a time when these students were not allowed to speak their own language. The children were severely beaten or punished if caught..^3,2 He was a student at Rapid City Indian Boarding School, Rapid City, Pennington Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1927. School: He was a very good at basketball and rodeo. Early on he had to decide in high school whether to play basketball or rodeo and choose to rodeo. Later Paul quit school to return home were he was needed on the ranch..³ Paul's occupation: Professional Bareback Rider at Northern Plains, USA, after 1931. By the age of 17 Paul was a familiar face on the Northern Plains rodeo ciruit. He rodeod his way through South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska. By the time Paul was 20 he was also promoting and directing area rodeos.


     In an essay written by the famous rodeo clown Jake Herman in 1954 and entitled Rodeo's Tragic Trail:

     "Paul Brewer will never make the national headlines nor will he taste the height of glory, fame, and money that go to the winner of a world championship cowboy. It is not because Paul has not tried. Yes, rodeo has its glamour, fame, money, and tragedy. It is a great American sport, a tribute and symbol of the last frontier. Paul Brewer came from a large family of ten boys and four girls. He attended the Holy Rosary Mission school on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He played basketball and could have become a star player but Paul's first love was the rodeo. Paul quit school and started making the rodeos throughout the country. He possessed all the necessary qualifications that a rodeo hand had to have above all, plenty of guts--coordination of mind and body, willingness to take the big chances, combined with a rodeo personality. Paul was always ready with his flashing smile, big-hearted willingness to give the shirt off his back to aid other rodeo hands and a lift to stay in the game. But it seemed the elements of bitter bad luck were destined to ruin his ambition by a series of accidents that robbed him of his career in the rodeo. Any rodeo rider knows that the buffalo is a dangerous animal to ride. The buffalo is a tough bucker and when you decided to quit him after you have completed your ride your life is in danger. Paul volunteered to put on an exhibition at Norris, South Dakota and ride one. He nearly accomplished the job when the buffalo bucked him off then charged him and gored Paul's throat. This was a series accident that laid him up in the hospital for months. Somehow, Paul pulled through this then came World War II and Paul went into the Army. While they were loading a ship, he had another accident--a broken leg which forced him to lie flat on his back for months. After he was discharged from the Army, Paul came home and went back to game he loved--playing the rodeos. A horse threw him and his arm was broken. However, this did not stop him. Before his arm had healed, Paul was back in the game again and while he and others were en route to another rodeo, they had a car accident. Paul was pinned under the car for hours. He was not hurt badly and soon recovered. Paul had a wonderful mother, Mrs. Bessie Brewer, who passed away in 1949. This was a bitter blow to Paul and the rest of the family and to her friends. Stark, bitter tragedy it seems was waiting for Paul. Paul and another boy were heading back to his home from Hot Springs, South Dakota, and as they came into Smithwick, South Dakota, their car ran into a train. He was seriously injured again and for months he laid in the hospital hovering between life and death. People who knew Paul shook their heads and said, "We are pulling for Paul. We hope he pulls through." The urge and the will to live pulled him through. With the terrific beating that he had to go through, he decided to quit the rodeo and get a loan and start a spread of his own on No Flesh Creek near Kyle, South Dakota. He had great hopes of becoming a stockman. But no! Stark tragedy had to have it's try again. One day Paul and his wife were heading back to the ranch. His windshield needed wiping so Paul parked his car and started to wipe the windshield. A truck came roaring from the back and rammed head on into Paul's car. Paul was seriously hurt again and this time the doctors gave up hopes. He laid again in the hospital for months. Again Paul won the battle and pulled through.
     The tragic part of the accident in that Paul is crippled for life now and can hardly walk. The terrific beating that he had to go through robbed him of his ambition to be a rodeo hand and to be a rancher. I have seen Paul at the rodeos and after each accident. To me he is the top in the rodeo world who has won the admiration of the people who knew him.
     Just recently Paul went to a basketball game at Pine Ridge. I am sure he enjoyed the game but somehow I am wondering what he thought when he heard the cheering fans. One wonders if his memory drifts back to the day he played basketball and at the rodeos with the cheering of the rodeo fans. Paul no longer has the perfect physical condition that he once had yet he retains that cherry "hello" and his flashing smile has won the hearts of his people." [Jake Herman, 1954]

     A newspaper article entitled Rodeo's Bad Luck Cowboy Breaks 24 Bones In Mishap. by Eddie Herman was also written about Grandpa Paul:

     "The cowboy contestants of the rodeos lead an exciting life, yet this thrilling American sport is dangerous and, in almost every rodeo some cowboy is injured. One of the most shocking accidents that ever occurred at a South Dakota rodeo took place in the year 1941 at the White River Frontier Days at White River. The accident that shocked the rodeo world occurred on the first day of the opening of the White River rodeo.
     During the 1920's White River annual rodeo was considered on of the top ranking rodeo's in America. The rodeo originated by Frank Day, a Millette County rancher. After Day was fatally injured in a steer roping contest, Tom Berry, who afterward became South Dakota's cowboy governor, took over the management of the White River Rodeo.
     "Under the management of these two men the White River Frontier Days became nationally know and attracted people from every state in the nation. The celebration and rodeo ended in 1929 due to the severe drought and depression that sweep the Middle West. The White River rodeo reopened in 1941 under the management of Frank Krogman who was sheriff of Mellette County. The largest crowd ever assembled at White River was there to see the reopening of this famous frontier days celebration. It was a thrill-packed afternoon for the excited crowd and the old timer's present agreed that this reopening day was the wildest rodeo ever staged in the White River arena."
          Krogman had gathered some of the best bucking horses on the Dakota ranges and these Badlands horses put on the wildest show ever seen in the Middle West. Before the contest was half finished, several top hands were seriously injured and a few had been carried from the area."
          Something new in the rodeo world had been added to the cowboy contest. Krogman had brought in a herd of wild buffalo from his ranch near White River. The crowd had been watching the large buffalo fighting to escape from the chute. The huge, shaggy animal had reared over the gate. A crowd stood to watch as the cowboys forced the angry beast down into the chute. Then over the loudspeaker the announcer said "Paul Brewer is the first rider in this buffalo riding contest." The announcer went on giving Brewer's history as a rodeo contestant. Brewer had come to White River from Montana where he had entered many Montana rodeos. Brewer, who was the son of an Indian mother on Pine Ridge, and was well known too many rodeo fans in Montana and Wyoming. Paul was known to the other contestants as the hard luck cowboy. Time and again they had seen him carried from the arena. They called him "Bad Luck Brewer" and "Can't be Killed Cowboy." Often they had seen horses fall on him. He had been a victim of almost every kind of rodeo accident. In spite of his many injuries, the indomitable spirit of the American cowboy kept Brewer limping from one rodeo to another. He would not say enough. The chute gate swung open and buffalo came out to spin and buck in front of the chute. Brewer put on a fancy exhibition of bare-back riding. He was with one hand on a lose rope surcingle, while his spurs played a tune on the buffalo's neck. Then suddenly he was in trouble. A spur strap broke and he flew into the air. He came down as the buffalo made a vicious thrust at him with its horns. Brewer fell on his hands and knees, but quickly jumped to his feet. The watching crowd and even the contestants in the arena though that he had escaped injury. Then the cowboy began to stagger around, clutching at his face. Blood spurted from his throat. He had been horned and, with every heart beat, blood spurted from the wound. A doctor had been present, but had taken another injured cowboy to the Murdo hospital. Frantic calls over the loudspeaker brought no medical aid into the arena. Entered in the cowboy contest were many nationally-known rodeo riders, men who had seen hundreds of rodeo injuries. Among these was Leo Stein of Fort Pierre, Eddie Boysen of Sioux Falls; Claude Sully of Okreek and Gene Gladfelter, the Cherokee Indian calf roper of Dewy, Okla. They jerked Brewer off his feet and went to work on him. They were rough but efficient. Somehow they clamped the wound in the cowboy's throat, then rushed him to the Rosebud Indian Hospital, which is 35 miles from White River. The next day the same wild spirit pervaded in the arena. The big-hearted crowd that watched the performance turned its pockets inside out to take up a collection for the injured Brewer. The sun sank down over the dusty arena and the great Sioux Indian camp on the hill. The curtain rang down on the wildest rodeo in the west. Brewer received first aid at Rosebud, then transported to the hospital at Pine Ridge. Infection and gangrene developed in the wound in his throat and for days his life hung on a thread. In his delirium, he whispered of rodeos and rode buffaloes and wild horses in his fever tortured dreams. Reports of his death spread over the rodeo world and in Colorado, a rodeo crowd stood bareheaded with the cowboys to hear an announcer pay a glowing tribute to the memory of the gallant cowboy-but Brewer, did not die. The fighting spirit which kept him in the rodeos, helped him in his fight for life. He recovered and came back to the rodeos. The wound in his throat had injured his vocal chords so that now he could only whisper. Brewer married and started ranching near Porcupine, in the heart of the big Badlands. He began promoting and directing rodeos on the reservation. He enlisted in the Army in 1943 and while loading a ship, some heavy cargo fell on him, breaking a leg. After the war, Brewer went back to his ranch in the Badlands, but the old jinx that haunted his rodeo life still hung around him. He broke his arm in an automobile accident-but he had grown accustomed to such minor injuries by now. At this writing, Brewer is a patient in the Sisters hospital at Hot Springs. Dakota newspapers stated he had received 24 broken bone when the automobile in which he had been riding struck a train near Smithwick. He is said to be recovering from this accident. When word of this latest mishap reached Rapid City, cowboys talking on the street said, "Bad Luck Brewer, the Can't Be Killed Cowboy-24 broken bones won't hurt that hombre, the only way you can kill that cowboy is to cut off his head and hide it where he can't find it."

      In another paper down by Sharon Woods, she writes:

      "His reputation never left him. Years after he was no longer able to ride in the rodeos that he loved, the Wall Drug still sold postcards with a picture of his Buffalo accident. There was a newspaperman there that day who caught an action shot of Dad sailing through the air just before the horn connected with his neck. On a particular trip into town we were sitting in the car and overheard several young boys playing and they were arguing over who got to be Paul Brewer in their game of rodeo. ".^3,2 He married Evelyn Mabel O'Rourke in 1933.³ Paul reported for active duty at U.S. Army, Pacific Theatre, in 1942.³ Paul was granted a divorce from Evelyn Mabel O'Rourke at South Dakota, USA, in 1943.³ He resided at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA, after 1943. Paul's occupation: Professional Bareback Rider, Paul continued to rodeo and live the rodeo life. In his off times he and his family would follow the crops in farming countries of Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming. In the their free time they kicked their heels up at the dance halls and competed for prize money to sounds of the big bands. At Northern Plains, USA, after 1947. He resided at Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, after 1960, Paul as he was know to all spent most of his years in Southern California with his 2nd. wife "Babe" Clifford and her children whom he adopted as his own.
I can remember when I was about seven or eight we went over to visit and have a dinner. Grandpa Paul had a frisky old parrot that he kept outside. After I had investigated the bird for a while I discovered why the bird was kept in the backyard. This bird could "cuss like the dickens" and would sing opera in Spanish. He probably gave my grandpa to much competition in the cussing' department.

They had a beautiful Southern California home that they resided in for many years. He enjoyed his occasional bottle of ripple and being with friends and family having and good time. Grandpa Paul was also known for his good sense of humor.. Paul was honored at South Dakota Indian Rodeo Hall, South Dakota, USA, in 1981. He resided at Winslow, Navajo Co., Arizona, USA, after 1983, While in Winslow he purchased the Brown Barn Bar from his daughter Pauline. He and his wife operated the bar until Paul had an accident while trying to hang a door. Ater his accident Paul's health deteriorated.. Paul died on January 16, 1993 at Flagstaff, Coconino Co., Arizona, USA, at age 78. His body was interred on January 20, 1993 at Winslow, Navajo Co., Arizona, USA, at Desert View Cemetery.

     The nationality of Charles Frederick Jacobs was 1/4 Cheyenne. His Social Security Number was 503-18-3991. Charles was born at Cody, Park Co., Wyoming, USA, on August 4, 1904. Born on a homestead outside of Cody, Wyoming.
.^1,2 He was the son of William Lorenzo Jacobs Jr. and Julia Bullock.¹ He moved circa 1906 at in the Genoa Wyoming Area, Wyoming, USA. They sold their homestead in Wyoming after living on the land for the required time and receiving the deed. The Jacobs family moved to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota where Julia and there 1/4 Cheyenne children were allotted land close to the railroad stop at Conata east of Scenic, SD. Their son Charlie Jacobs stated that this was one of his earliest memories, moving back to South Dakota by covered wagon.
When Charley was seven years old, his father was beaten to death by four men. Charley never talked about his Dad's death. His mother Julia moved her eight kids into Dewingsville (now White Clay, NT3) where they found a house to live. ('The house may have been provided by kin Bill Jacobs who founded the town or his uncle Tom Dewings whom the town was named for, or a friend Richard Dixon the town Blacksmith).¹ Charles was listed on the roll as a student after 1912. Charlies Mom being gone for the trial of her husband's murderer. Charley used to tell how good they were doing when tribal police came to take them away to Boarding School. Charley was about nine years old at this time with the other siblings ranging from two to thirteen years old. Charley was sent to the Rapid City Indian School, were he attended through the sixth grade. He was always proud of making it to the sixth grade, as most of his friends didn't make it that far.. Charles, Julia Bullock's child, resided with Julia After the death of her husband William, Julia moved her eight kids into Dewingsville (now White Clay, NT3) where they found a house to live. ('The house may have been provided by kin Bill Jacobs of Rushville, Tom Dewings or Richard Dixon a friend.) Julia began leaving her kids home alone and eventually disappeared. Charley used to tell how good they were doing when the tribal police came and sent them away to Boarding School. She may have left to attend the trial of the man accused of murdering her husband when her children where taken and sent to Boarding school., at Dewingsville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, after 1914.¹ He was imprisoned circa 1917.¹ He applied for homestead land at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on November 22, 1921.³ He married Agnes Janis at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA, circa 1923.^4,1 He was a student at Kansas City, Platte Co., Missouri, USA, in 1925. School: Charley went to a trade school for weldingin Kansas City, MO to learn his trade, but wasn't able to find a job in that field on the Reservation. He spent three years at the Jumping Ranch before getting job with Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as a cowboy and CCC camp cook..¹ He married Josephine Zavarine Jumping Eagle at Chadron, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, in 1933.^1,2 He became Ronald Joseph Jacobs's adoptive father at USA after 1933.¹ Charles's occupation: Camp Cook at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, circa 1934. During the depression, Charley worked for the Civilian Conservation Corp as a camp cook. He always said, "Nobody criticizes the Cook." There was was more than one reason for that! During that time they traveled by highway railcar through the Reservation, Badlands and Black Hills. My father Bill Jacobs's states that this is probably when he got the wandering urge..¹ He resided at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, circa 1934, Between 1934 and 1939, Josephine and Charley had a baby each year. During most of this time, they lived out of railroad boxcars that were brought in for the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp..) workers.
After working for the CCC Charley got a job at the Pine Ridge Hospital as a maintenance man and bought a two-room house. With seven kids and Dad (William C.) on the way, he strengthened what he bought and added a big kitchen, and added rooms as the family grew. Josephine would say, "If this house ever burnt down, we could rebuild it with the nails that Charley used.".¹ He resided at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1934, Between 1934 and 1939, Josephine and Charley had a baby each year. During most of this time, they lived out of railroad boxcars that were brought in for the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp.) workers.
After working for the CCC Charley got a job at the Pine Ridge Hospital as a maintenance man and bought a two-room house in southeast Pine Ridge. With seven kids and me (William C.) on the way, he strengthened what he bought and added a big kitchen, and added rooms as the family grew. Josephine would say, "If this house ever burnt down, we could rebuild it with the nails that Charley used.".¹ Charles's occupation: Maintenance Worker at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, circa 1935.¹ Charles's occupation: Welder at Oakland, Alameda Co., California, USA, circa 1940. When the World War II broke out Charley got a job in San Francisco as a welder in the shipyards. Dad states that he remebers reading his letters from this time and remembers them as being so concise for a sixth grade education. While in San Francisco his daughter Rose Marie died. He wrote home giving instructions on money matters and the family joined him later. Josephine and her kids came home to Pine Ridge for the summer of '44, and rejoined him when he went to work in the Oakland shipyards. My father William C. Jacobs was in kindergarten at this time.. He resided at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1945, 1945-1953 Charley and his family moved home after the war and Charley returned to his job at the Pine Ridge hospital. He was good with his hands and could fix anything. His first chore was to add two bedrooms to the house. He spent a lot of time under his pickup which none of us kids took an interest to his disappointment. We did help him with the addition to the house, and the following summer, dug out the basement. He cemented it. We got our own water pump in '48, but it froze up during the winter of '49. The following summer, Charley dropped the pump six feet underground, hooked up an electric motor, and ran pipes into the house. With a flick of a switch and a five minute wait, we had running water. No more going after water. They used have to carry it from John Adam's pump and after that ran dry, from Johsie Means's place.
Chopping wood and feeding the stove was an ongoing chore. Hunting for wood was an autumn adventure. Every couple years we dug a hole for the toilet, and filled up the old. He always did the work, but shared with the kids. One of his projects was to get hot running water in the house. He bought a steel water tank and ran water through the wood stove by pipes into the tank. The idea failed but he later used the tank.
In 1951, Holy Rosary Mission won the state championship and Ronnie was named to the all-state team. Us boys were getting into our teens, and were mischievous, if not wild. Mom was in her early forties. We were into boxing and doing good, but were little over-confident. Chuck got in trouble and was sent to the reformatory. Sissy begins running away from school. Up to this point, Dad only drank about twice a year. This mild mannered man was mean when he got drunk. He was only 5' 6", but he backed off the town bully, they remembered him from his CCC days. Although he never came after us kids, we slept with our windows open. His drinking became more frequent. We would make trips to visit Chuck in Englewood, Co. That year, Pine Ridge decided to send a team to the Golden Gloves. We won four of seven weigh classes, and took second in two others. Dad would come to all our fights, bringing Grampa and Gramma Jumping Eagle. With the potato harvest, Dad tried to make home made whiskey in the unused water tank. Grampa came to live with us that winter, and he lived in the basement with the water tank. All his friends came to visit him and they talked and sany about old times. When Dad found out the most of his green whiskey was gone, he was mad. Him and Ogden Wilson finished it of f. Mom and Dad decided it was time to get away from Pine Ridge for all concerned. He put in for the Relocation Program, and we moved to California in August 1953..¹ Charles traveled at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, in 1952. During the summer of '52, Dad couldn't afford a vacation. His solution was a working family vacation in Colorado. The whole family went picking, and could visit Chuck. He got out after serving 18 months..¹ Charles's occupation: Stockroom clerk at Van Nuys, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, after 1952.⁵ He resided at Hollywood, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, on 8, 1953. 1953-1958 Until we went to California, we didn't know what poor was. Dad always had a job where there was no jobs. We were as well or better of f than our neighbors. Our first house was two bedroom duplex in Hollywood. After a month on his promised job, Dad was laid off. He went out to the local 'Friendly" Bar and got drunk. He was able to get another job the following week from whence he retired, and only drank socially after. Every year after, Charley and Josephine would go on vacation to Pine Ridge, taking different routes. Charley formed a close relationship with his daughter Ann. He drank socially one night a week and just about never got drunk. He saw his kids get married and have 25 grandchildren of 33..¹ Charles retired at Van Nuys, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, in 1968. Charles retired in Hollywood, Calif, 1968. He retired from North American Rockwell as a stock clerk in 1968, having paid off his 1966 Mustang GTO. During his retirement, he took care of the yard, read, worked on cars, and enjoyed his grandchildren. Dad was a responsible man who worked with his hands; cowboy, cook, mechanic, carpenter, plumber, electrician, stock clerk. He was quietly talkative with his close friends. He loved the Indian culture, and favored Indian beliefs, but was not an evangelist. He willing helped those who were trying to help themselves. He believed in deeds, not words. Physically, Dad was 5' 6" tall, average for old English stock, weighed between 135 pounds to 150 pounds before he got sick. The Cheyenne blood on his mother's side wasn't evident. He could walk in the front door where Indians weren't allowed, but preferred to go to the back door with his friends. He was clean, had soft skin, and was hairy on the body. When angered, he had a growl of a bulldog, and from what I heard about his drinking escapees, could back up his growl. He only laid his hands to me once. His love was understood; not through speech, but through his actions. He talked in a slow, thoughtful monotone, which is natural to the badlanders, and cussed like one (if Mom wasn't around). He had a dry humor and a deep belly laugh that was uncharacteristic for a man of his size. Scholastically, he was adept with math, although cautious and accurate. I have already discussed his writing ability. His literary interests during retirement was in Indian culture and the Civil War, looking for his 'roots.' He was a lifelong Democrat whose vote was always wiped out by Mom, who was a lifelong Republican, but out voted him by twenty years. About the last time he talked to me, oxygen fed and bedridden, he said "Bill, you see that old couple dragging themselves down the street, trying to stay alive? Yah. I'm not old like them, My mind is young and clear." Somewhat blunt, but pragmatic. Dad used to say that one of his ancestors was a general in a Southern state militia during the Civil war. He always concentrated on Louisiana militia. Colonel William G Bullock is probably ruled out because he had interests in Fort Laramie during the Civil War. Maybe his father, or uncle? [Jacobs, William C. Letter to Michael W. Jacobs-Stevens, January 20, 1997] Charley's death made his son Bill realize that he hadn't asked a lot of questions about life, and ancestors. Bill started the family tree......¹ Charles died on August 2, 1972 at Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, at age 67.² His body was interred on August 6, 1972 at Whittier, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, at Rose Hill Cemetery. He has since been joined by his wife Josephine, daughter Vae Rose, granddaughter Tiffany and many friends who died while on relocation..¹

Josephine Zavarine Jumping Eagle^1,2 (F)
(January 8, 1914-May 16, 1993), #24
Pop-up Pedigree

     The nationality of Josephine Zavarine Jumping Eagle was Oglala Lakota.¹ Her Social Security Number was 503-36-7784. She was enrolled as a member of the after 1914 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA; Josephine was enrolled as 4/4 Oglala Lakota Sioux.¹ Josephine was born at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee Creek, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on January 8, 1914. Josephine Zavarine Jumping Eagle was born on January 8, 1914 in either Wounded Knee Creek or Oglala, S.D. , to Oliver Jumping Eagle, who was Chief of Police, Republican committee man, reservation interpreter and rancher, so he could afford a big family and Mamie Rocky Bear. She had two older brothers and two older sisters and was later to have another four brothers, four sisters and two adopted brother and sister (15 total)..^1,2 She was the daughter of Oliver Jumping Eagle and Mamie Rocky Bear.¹ As of after 1915, Josephine Zavarine Jumping Eagle was also known as Oglala Woman She was given the Indian of Oglala Wiyan by Chief James Red Cloud.¹ Josephine, an unknown person 's child, resided with an unknown person The allotment that Mamie received from Rocky Bear when she turned 18. For that reason the land was always called Rocky Bear Land. He ranched on the land on Wounded Knee Creek and lived their most of his life. Grandpa Jumping Eagle always grew about two acres of bottomland garden. Another 40 acres was reserved for wheat along the hill. The rest he used for horses and hay because it was so hilly and rocky. The house was a two room log cabin with no water or electricity. This was good for those days, 1910's, considering a lot of people were still living in tents made of canvas. It even had a floor. A water pump was later drilled. My (William C. Jacobs) description is from the late 40's. Straight ahead out the front door was the outhouse, whose location varied over the years. The faced east with the white bluffs toward porcupine Butte. Off to the right and further away was the corrals. The wagon trail came south from the road and farm equipment was to the right towards the shoe (hill). Towards the back of the house was th chicken coop and storage shed. In back was the cellar full of fresh or canned vegetables. Off to our northwest is where the Black Elk's lived. The old man lived in the tent because he prefered it. Down the hill to the northeast was the vegetable garden, along the path to the swimming pool (creek). All the meats had to be keep in the creek, because there were no refrigeration.
After Granpa retired, all travel was by horse and wagon. I (William C. Jacobs) rode to Pine Ridge once and it was a bumpy ride. Lightning and Rummy was our team and was a part of the family.
Between 1909 to 1928, Grandma Mamie was busy raising thirteen kids plus two adopted. There were daily chores of cooking, going to get water, chopping wood, sewing clothes and many more that was gradually taken over as the kids grew up. It was lucky or necessary during the winter time to send the kids to Boarding School, because they had only two rooms. During the summers, they set up a tent or two.
In the 20's Tuberculosis struck the family. Josephine and Lorraine caught it. Oliver and Mamie decided to send one to Iowa for treatment and cure the other the Indian way. Lorraine died in 1928. Mom (Josephine) just about died in Iowa, because the T.b.. was in her bones, but pulled through. She was released in 1930. Later Sophie came down with T.b.. and was too small to fight it. She died in 1931., at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, 4 miles north of Wounded Knee, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1915.¹ She was homestead applicat'n on May 7, 1918 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA; From: SDGENWEB File -- Shannon Co.

JOSEPHINE.³ Josephine was ill at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee Creek, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, circa 1920. Josephine's earliest memory was of her and her sister catching tuberculosis. In those days, the Indians didn't have much trust in the government. Gramppa Jumping Eagle decided to send only one daughter to a sanitarium in Iowa and keep one home to be cured the "Indian Way". Josephine was the chosen one, her sister got to stay home, but later died. Josephine had tuberculosis of the lungs and bones and barely survived herself. She may have gotten T.B from old man Black Elk, whom she carried food to when he was sick and prefered to lived in a tent alone. When Josephine's Grandfather Jumping Eagle had died, old man Black Elk adopted her father Oliver as was Indian tradition. So when old man Black Elk died, Oliver adopted Ben Black Elk, Black Elk's son. Josephine considered the Black Elk's as cousins, as they did her. All her blood cousins died from T.B. Josephine spent five years at the sanitarium. After she was well she received a third grade education in Iowa. More important though was the education she received from the lady in the bed next to her, who taught her how to be a lady in the white world, speech, manners, etc. Josephine always said she went to the third grade, but she seemed to be much more educated. She was released and returned home to Pine Ridge a young lady with a zest for life..¹ She married an unknown person before 1932.¹ As of 1933,her married name was Jacobs.^1,2 She married Charles Frederick Jacobs at Chadron, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, in 1933.^1,2 Josephine, as Charles Frederick Jacobs's wife, resided with him Between 1934 and 1939, Josephine and Charley had a baby each year.

He got out after serving 18 months..¹ Josephine, as Charles Frederick Jacobs's wife, resided with him, at Hollywood, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, on 8, 1953. 1953-1958 Until we went to California, we didn't know what poor was. Dad always had a job where there was no jobs. We were as well or better of f than our neighbors. Our first house was two bedroom duplex in Hollywood. After a month on his promised job, Dad was laid off. He went out to the local 'Friendly" Bar and got drunk. He was able to get another job the following week from whence he retired, and only drank socially after. Every year after, Charley and Josephine would go on vacation to Pine Ridge, taking different routes. Charley formed a close relationship with his daughter Ann. He drank socially one night a week and just about never got drunk. He saw his kids get married and have 25 grandchildren of 33..¹ She resided at Glendale, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, after 1972, After her husband died, she continued to live in Glendale, raising Lester and looking after Vae Rose and her family. When Lester moved to Colorado with his mother, Mom moved to Gardena to be closer to Ann and Oliver. After much persuasion, and having her car stolen, she moved in with Oliver and Julie.. She resided on December 22, 1988, 1988 when the maternal instinct struck Ginger & William Jacobs , it was decided to wait until they had a permanent home, and was to include a separate entrance for his mother. They moved in five days before Christmas, 1500 square feet for each..¹ She resided at Rapid City, Pennington Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1988. Mom said this would be her last home, and so it turned out to be. Her last four years were spent gardening, reading, looking for sales, looking after other people, taking drives in the Black Hills or Badlands, Everything went well, she had her place downstairs (1500 sq. ft.) and we had our place upstairs (1500 sq. ft.) except when we were on the road, then she had the whole place. Things went well until I let family move in..¹ Josephine died on May 16, 1993 at age 79.^1,4 Her funeral was held at St. Agnes Catholic Hall, Manderson, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on May 19, 1993.^1,4 Her body was interred in 1993 at Whittier, Los Angeles Co., California, USA, at Rose Hill Cemetery.

Pop-up Pedigree

     The nationality of Oliver Jumping Eagle was Oglala Lakota.² His religious name was Inyan.² He speaks (an unknown value).² Oliver was born at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA, on December 2, 1880. He chose the birthdate of December 2nd, 1880. He was later given the name Rock or Iyan. Included in Oliver's family were his grandmother "Owata" (the second wife of Ring Thunder) and six sisters. Grandpa Oliver was a big man that stood over six feet tall and had the torso of a barrel. He was a man's man and quite a womanizer as a young man...² He was the son of Robert Jumping Eagle and Mary Ann Featherman.² Oliver was adopted at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee Creek, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, in 1893.² Oliver was listed on the roll as a student at Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Carlisle, Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania, USA, before 1894. In the 1890's, Oliver probably atteded school at Carlyle Indian School in Pennsylvania. He would say he knew Jim Thorpe as a "big boy". Thorpe was probably taking college courses when he won the Olympics in 1896. It is not known at this time how long Oliver attended Carlyle. He did know his future wife Mamie Rocky Bear as a small girl, and when she went to school. Oliver returned from Carlyle with the beleif that Indians could succeed by living the ways of the "White Man". He would have been considered a progressive today..² Oliver made his first communion at Holy Rosary Indian Mission, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, in 1898.³ Oliver's occupation: Police Chief at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA, after 1901. He was hired as a police officer for the Pine Ridge Indian Police. He stayed with the Police force and would become Police Chief for 17 years. He belonged to the Republican party and would arrange speaking tours when the politicians needed votes. He would escort politicians and BIA officials out onto the far reaches of the reservation and interpret when talking to full-bloods. His job took him all over the reservation. The roads were little more than wagon trails going 100 miles east to Wambli, 50 miles north to Red Shirt or 20 miles west over Slim Buttes and Oglala. Transfering prisoners took him off the reservation to Rapid City where US Federal court was held, Chadron or other reservations..² He married Mamie Rocky Bear at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA, in 1907.² He applied for homestead land at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on March 28, 1912.⁴ Oliver, as an unknown person 's husband, resided with an unknown person The allotment that Mamie received from Rocky Bear when she turned 18. For that reason the land was always called Rocky Bear Land. He ranched on the land on Wounded Knee Creek and lived their most of his life. Grandpa Jumping Eagle always grew about two acres of bottomland garden. Another 40 acres was reserved for wheat along the hill. The rest he used for horses and hay because it was so hilly and rocky. The house was a two room log cabin with no water or electricity. This was good for those days, 1910's, considering a lot of people were still living in tents made of canvas. It even had a floor. A water pump was later drilled. My (William C. Jacobs) description is from the late 40's. Straight ahead out the front door was the outhouse, whose location varied over the years. The faced east with the white bluffs toward porcupine Butte. Off to the right and further away was the corrals. The wagon trail came south from the road and farm equipment was to the right towards the shoe (hill). Towards the back of the house was th chicken coop and storage shed. In back was the cellar full of fresh or canned vegetables. Off to our northwest is where the Black Elk's lived. The old man lived in the tent because he prefered it. Down the hill to the northeast was the vegetable garden, along the path to the swimming pool (creek). All the meats had to be keep in the creek, because there were no refrigeration.
After Granpa retired, all travel was by horse and wagon. I (William C. Jacobs) rode to Pine Ridge once and it was a bumpy ride. Lightning and Rummy was our team and was a part of the family.
Between 1909 to 1928, Grandma Mamie was busy raising thirteen kids plus two adopted. There were daily chores of cooking, going to get water, chopping wood, sewing clothes and many more that was gradually taken over as the kids grew up. It was lucky or necessary during the winter time to send the kids to Boarding School, because they had only two rooms. During the summers, they set up a tent or two.
In the 20's Tuberculosis struck the family. Josephine and Lorraine caught it. Oliver and Mamie decided to send one to Iowa for treatment and cure the other the Indian way. Lorraine died in 1928. Mom (Josephine) just about died in Iowa, because the T.b.. was in her bones, but pulled through. She was released in 1930. Later Sophie came down with T.b.. and was too small to fight it. She died in 1931., at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, 4 miles north of Wounded Knee, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1915.² He was given an allotment on the Native American Annuity Payroll at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Oglala, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1932.² He became Theda Colleen Jessie American Bear's adoptive father after 1932.² He became Phillip White Rabbit Jr.'s adoptive father at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Manderson, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1941.² He became Benjamin Black Elk's adoptive father at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee Creek, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1950.² Oliver died on August 9, 1953 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, at age 72.² His body was interred on August 13, 1953 at Manderson, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, at St. Agnes Catholic Cemetery.²

     Charles O'Rourke was Catholic. He was enrolled as a member of the after 1883 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA; Charles was enrolled as 1/4 Oglala Lakota at the Pine Ridge Indian Agency. Charles was born at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA, on September 22, 1883.^4,6,7 He was the son of John O'Rourke and Georgianna Helen Terry. Georgianna Helen Terry was listed in the Indian Census on the date of in 1896 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, USA; Georgianna is listed as mother and living with her were her children; Thomas (age 19), Charles (age 13), Samuel (age 8), John (age 2-9), Annie (age 17), & Emma (age 11). Since Georgianna's role was listed as mother I would guess that her husband Jack was living in the home and not included on the 1896 Indian Census due to the fact that he was not Indian. Otherwise Georgianna would have been listed as Head of The Household.⁶ Charles's occupation: He also was the Brand Inspector of either the State of South Dakota or the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. At Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Porcupine, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1900.⁵ He resided at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Cuny Table, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1900, A local history source describes the neighbors of Charles in the 1920's:
     "On Cane Creek north of White River lived: Jim Clifford, Shangreau, Charles O'Rourke, Bradford, Lew Heathershaw, Earl Libby, Harvey, and Ben Tibbitts." [Reservation Roundup, pg. 100].

"During World War I the Government became concerned about enough food to feed our own Allied Armies over seas and the population at home. Because Washington and Shannon Counties were lying idle except foe a few Indian horses, they decided to lease the two counties to the cowmen to produce more beef. In the Fall and winter of 1917, most of the two counties were leased to big cattle companies. Dating from May 1918, these leases were to run for five years, and I want to say right here the Indian Department OK'd these leases and practically all the Indian landowners were satisfied with this leasing because they needed the money the leases would bring them. These leases contracts were very tough on the cowmen. He had to pay leases one year in advance and be bonded for the full five-year term. He agreed to fence the land leased, drill wells, build dams and develop the springs for stock water and was not to overstock the pasture; just run so many cattle to a section of land.

The cattle outfits came in. They leased and were located as follows Southeastern Area of Shannon County were John Linehan, Ed Macumber, George Ernest, Shorty West, Jim Bell and others; Northwest Area of Washington County were Brown and Weir from Spearfish, South Dakota; Tom Arnold, XU from Lusk, Wyoming, located on Cuny Table and the Band Lands; East of Pine Ridge, south of 18 highway (later so called) were Harry Evans and Corder on Wolf Creek; Shannon County, Newton Budd, Jesse Trueblood, John Dixon, Thompson, Conroys on Stinking Water Creek to Nebraska line ; North Down Medicine Root Creek in Washington County lived Wes Kieffe and Tom Ward.

"The area north of White River and east of Cuny Table, to the mouth of Medicine Root in Washington County, was largely owned and controlled by some old and established Indian families who had cattle of their own and operated these ranches; such named families as Bill McGaa, Charles Jones, Bill Twiss, Tom O'Rourke, Charley Cuny, Dick Stirks, and the Cliffords." [Reservation Roundup, pg. 70-71].

"The cowboys who worked for me [John Glover] and McKean outfit were Walter Ten Fingers, Thomas Black Wolf, Alex Pablo, (Pablo was John Glover's interpreter).

William Lorenzo Jacobs Jr.¹ (M)
(May 22, 1876-July 2, 1912), #37
Pop-up Pedigree

     William was born at New York, USA, on May 22, 1876.¹ He was the son of William Lorenzo Jacobs and Caroline Margaret Burger.^2,3 He moved in 1883 at Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois, USA. Hearing of all the great opportunities in securing land in the west. Grandfather Jacobs (30) decided to settle upon a piece of land. They packed up their three children, their beautiful walnut furniture and what other possessions they owned along with their savings of two thousand dollars and left Chicago in the winter of 1883. The Jacobs family travelled on the B&M Railroad, hoping to get homestead land opened for settlement following treaties with the Lakota, in Northwest Nebraska near Plumb Creek. They went as far as they could go by railroad and made their winter home in North Loup, Nebraska. They arrived at Grand Island, where the B&M Railroad started to cross the N.P. Railroad. As this junction was not completed and the men would not work on Sunday, the train was compelled to stay over at this place. Therefore the company paid all expenses at the hotel, all the while passengers were delayed on their journey. While at this hotel, Grandfather was told that all water had to be hauled into Plumb Creek by means of train, at the expense of twenty-five cents per gallon. This discouraged Grandfather (30) so he then decided to go to North Loup, Nebraska. When they arrived here Grandfather hired a man to take him and his family to Custer County to look after the Government land there. In an open box wagon drawn by a single team of horses that were very they started on their journey. William L. Jacobs Sr. traveled by horseback westward in search of a homestead. The homestead he eventually found was located three miles west of the present town of Rushville, Nebraska in Sheridan County. He spent the balance of the winter preparing a makeshift housing for his family and some animals he intended to purchase. He returned to North Loup, Nebraska for his family in the spring and took them by covered wagon to the newly selected homestead claim, arriving in April 1885. On their way up to Custer County they stopped at a little place near the middle of Loup River and from here on to Erie Post Office which was nearly buried in sand. From Erie Post Office they went to Lillian Creek and then on to Broken Bow. After looking over this country they decided to return to North Loup, Nebraska because of the land not being suitable. A homestead at this place would mean sixty-three miles from a market or railroad. Corn was the main crop, being valued at thirteen cents per bushel. Hogs were worth three dollars and sixty-five cents per hundred pounds. People had to burn corn for fuel. The main parasite or pest were the sand fleas which kept the bodies in stir, lodging in the bed clothes. When upon a hill they could look down into a valley from nearly all sides, seeing vast acres of sand with hardly enough vegetation to conceal it. The magpies and hawks soaring in the air from above gave a sign of loneliness and a desire to reach a more favored place..¹ He moved in 1885 at North Loup, Valley Co., Nebraska, USA. Up to this time settlers were few. The closest market and store was at Valentine. So after breaking eleven acres of ground for his crops Grandfather decided to leave his family and go back to Valentine for seed and provisions. Five other wagons were going too, some for food and whatever they might need while others went for flour to sell to the pioneers and village of Chadron. They all started together. They hadn't gone far when they met a man and his family near Bare Creek. His wife and children were riding a horse while he was driving two oxen hitched to a homemade wagon the wheels being sawed from ends of logs. In fact it was a very rude vehicle. This family was tired of Western life and decided to go back east, but they were out of food and their clothes were few. The people in the small group pitied this family and contributed what food and money they could spare so that they could continue upon their journey. This is but one example of where people spent all their money trying to get a foot hold in the west, but instead of pushing forward were disgusted and went back home. After reaching Valentine Grandfather Jacobs purchased wheat, seed corn, potatoes, garden seed, flour and other necessary materials which he thought would be needed and he with three others started home. To escape the sand, they decided to take a new route, which led through the reservation by way of Pine Ridge. On this trip coming back the group had many experiences. The first one to happen at Camp Spring Creek, a short distance from Valentine. They had no more than pitched their tent when an Indian family camped near the white`s camp. It was a great curiosity for the men to watch the squaw pitch the tent but very exciting when the Indian man shot five arrows at Grandfather's feet (which dared them to fight). This frightened the men yet they tried not to show it. They wondered what would happen next. The men gave the Indians food and a small amount of money to gain their friendship. Nevertheless, the men slept with their guns in their hands. They got up bright and early in the morning and started on their journey before breakfast. While plodding along they spied two hundred Indians (approximately) on horseback making a dash for the settlers wagons. The Indians were dressed in war fashion. The settlers hearts nearly stopped beating for they surely thought they would be massacred and robbed of their provisions. But what a relief when it as found out that these Indians were only going with the Buffalo Bill Show and were only showing these settlers how well they could ride. When the folks came to Wounded Knee Creek, two Indians dressed in sheets demanded a toll of ten cents for each wagon before allowed to cross the bridges made by them for that purpose. One driver became radical over the demand and pulled around, getting stuck in the mud, which caused a great calamity in getting the wagon out. The settlers went to camp on Wolf Creek when some Indians surrounded their wagons. This influenced the travelers to move on to Pine Ridge where they went to register at the office. This was compulsory because at this time none was to leave or come upon the reservation and were very seldom seen outside. A few came to Rushville for food as the Issue Service was at that place. The next morning a guard was allowed to show the folks the way to Rushville. No road was visible and only a trail could be seen which were made by some wild game or the long horn Texas cattle..¹ He was named in the list of family members on William Lorenzo Jacobs's homestead application at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, in 1885.² He resided at Rushville Area, Nebraska, USA, in 1890, The family moved from their homestead three mile west of Rushville into town in 1890, when young William left home at the age of fourteen, probably to avoid going to school full-time. He took up with a family by the name of Dixon where he learned the harness and shoe repair business..¹ William's occupation: Harness and Shoe Repair at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, after 1891. He opened a harness and shoe repair shop in Rushville, Nebraska for a couple of years before selling out and looking for a homestead in Wyoming..¹ He applied for homestead land at Cody, Park Co., Wyoming, USA, circa 1893.¹ He married Julia Bullock at Chadron, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, on November 9, 1897.^1,3 William moved circa 1906 at in the Genoa Wyoming Area, Wyoming, USA. They sold their homestead in Wyoming after living on the land for the required time and receiving the deed. The Jacobs family moved to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota where Julia and there 1/4 Cheyenne children were allotted land close to the railroad stop at Conata east of Scenic, SD. Their son Charlie Jacobs stated that this was one of his earliest memories, moving back to South Dakota by covered wagon.
When Charley was seven years old, his father was beaten to death by four men. Charley never talked about his Dad's death. His mother Julia moved her eight kids into Dewingsville (now White Clay, NT3) where they found a house to live. ('The house may have been provided by kin Bill Jacobs who founded the town or his uncle Tom Dewings whom the town was named for, or a friend Richard Dixon the town Blacksmith).³ He moved circa 1906 at Genoa, Nance Co., Nebraska, USA. They sold their homesteaded near Genoa Wyoming after living on the land for the required time and receiving the deed. The Jacobs family moved to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota where Julia and her 1/4 Cheyenne children were allotted land close to the railroad stop at Conata east of Scenic, SD. Their son Charlie Jacobs stated that this was one of his earliest memories, moving back to South Dakota by covered wagon..^1,3 William died on July 2, 1912 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Cuny Table, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, at age 36.¹ His body was interred on July 6, 1912 at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, at Fairview Cemetary. His wife Julia was laid to rest beside him when she passed away in 1924..¹
