  • Notes 
    • After their marriage they settled on a farm near Eureka, IL where four of their children were born. Then sold that farm and moved near Morton, IL where one more child was born. A few years later the farm was sold and the family moved to Providence, Bureau County, IL, where the last four children were born. Jacobina was of a quiet and a retiring disposition. Her aim in life was to live a life of service to her family. [1]
