William Lorenzo Jacobs^1,2 (M)
(March 5, 1857-June 28, 1936), #39
Pop-up Pedigree

     William was born at Jalapa, Grant Co., Indiana, USA, on March 5, 1857.^2,4 He was the son of Lorenzo Dow Jacobs and Hester Ann Johnson.³ William was an apprentice at New York, New York, USA, circa 1870. According to family tradition as related by Bonnie Mae Savage (William L. Jacobs' Grand Daughter), William L. Jacobs took a job as an apprentice to a printer (Charles Frederick Burger) in New York (but not necessarily New York City) and married his employer's daughter, Caroline Marguerite (or Margaret) Burger in 1876.".⁴ He married Caroline Margaret Burger at 6th Street Presbyterian Church, New York, New York, USA, on August 10, 1875. She was united in marriage August 10, 1875, to William L. Jacobs, New York City, N.Y., at 6th Street Presbyterian Church.

      In the spring of 1884 he brought his family, making their home in and around Rushville for 45 years. To this union were born seventeen children, eleven of which are living and all were at her bedside and attended her funeral except one daughter, who resides at Tacoma, Washington. ["Old Settler Passes away". Rushville Recorder, Aug. 16, 1928, pg 1 col. 3].^5,1,2,4 He moved in 1880 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..⁶ William moved in 1883 at Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois, USA.

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..² He moved in 1883 at Rushville, Sheridan 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. o. He applied for homestead land at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, in 1885.⁶ He moved in 1890 at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA.⁶ William's occupation: Butcher at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, in 1890. After his time living on his homestead was completed William rented out the land. He took his cattle and moved to the Sand Hills south of Rushville where he put up two contractors of Rose Bud Reservation for the Indians. During the winter of 1890 he put up hay at one dollar per ton, making four hundred dollars. At this time the Sioux tribe of Indians caused much tumult among the settlers. A rumor was scattered among the tribe that buffalo were around the Space ranch, causing the Indians to break loose and kill two of the buffalo. This scared the people, because they thought the Indians meant war. It is true that a few of whites were killed. The Sioux ran the Cheyennes out from their reservations. The Cheyennes camped near Rushville, all the settlers left their homes and gathered together at some public place. The people for miles around assembled in the courthouse of Rushville. Cavalries and troops arrived and rounded up the Indians, which were placed back upon their respective reservations. Incidents of this type and other experiences made pioneer life anything but monotonous, as many of us who enjoy every luxury within reach are inclined to thing of it. They had purchased 15 milk cows, which they took with them, and started the first dairy farm in that area. They delivered milk to the resident of Rushville, Nebraska, many of whom were workers that helped build the railroad from Valentine, Nebraska, which was then known as the "Freemont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad." The family moved into the town of Rushville, Nebraska in 1890, where the father owned and operated a butcher shop.
Around the middle of the 1890's, William Sr. opened the first general merchandise store in an area adjoining the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and called the place, Dewing (after his son-in-law Tom Dewing who was married to William's daughter Carrie). This village was later named White Clay, Nebraska when a Post Office was established..² William's occupation: Mail Carrier at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, in 1900.⁶ William was listed as the head of a family on the 1900 Census at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA.⁷ He resided at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1900, "Bill Jake's Store" , From Jacobs Journal.

"Margaret Laughlin sent me pictures below of the site of the William L. Jacobs [Sr. store on the White River, sixteen miles west of Pine Ridge, South Dakota. She writes: "There was over 600 acres in this place. Across the river to the East was Uncle Donald had a small ranch. To the south (2 and 1/2 miles) Uncle Charley Jacobs had his ranch. This is where William L. spent the remaining years of his life. [PICTURE]

At the top of the next column is the same site after it was abandoned in 1932. The building in the foreground is a log ice house. Margaret points out that William L. lived his last years here even though he had a home in Chadron. Margaret and Charles (Oliver Jacobs father) lived here. Margaret went to Chadron to school and Charles went to Pine Ridge and soon married. The line of trees shows where the river is. The alfalfa hay fields were along the river.".³ He applied for homestead land at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on May 10, 1919.⁸ William was ill at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, on May 17, 1936. W.L. Jacobs of Oglala, S.D., was brought to his daughters, Sarah Savage, home Sunday having suffered a paralytic stroke Saturday. The Stroke paralyzed his left side. He was being cared for at the Rushville Hospital..⁶ William died on June 28, 1936 at Chadron, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, at age 79.² His body was interred on July 3, 1936 at Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebraska, USA, at Fairview Cemetary.⁶

They bellieve that the original part of their house possibly was Elnathan's..^1,4 He resided at Guilford, Windham Co., Vermont, USA, after 1786.^4,1 Asahel's occupation: Millwright at Guilford, Windham Co., Vermont, USA, after 1796. Both Asa and his son Lorenzo were "millwrights," and Vermont was a beehive of mill building at the time. However as better farming lands opening up to the south and the west (particularly in New York and Ohio) these mills were abandoned. This change probably accounts for Asa's family moving on to New York and then to Norwalk, Ohio. The fact that Whitman's son Elnathan, as well as several nephew's of his brother Benjamin from Thompson, Conn., had settled in Guilford is probably what prompted Whitman to come to Guilford..^4,1 He married Betsy Whitney at Marlboro, Windham Co., Vermont, USA, on December 8, 1809.^1,4,3,2 He moved circa 1820 at Vermont, USA.^1,4 He resided at Ohio, USA, after 1823.^4,1 Asahel died on February 10, 1835 at Norwalk, Huron Co., Ohio, USA, at age 49.^1,3,4
