JACOBS, Marion Commemorative and Biographical Record of Columbia, Sauk and Adams Counties, WI. Chicago: Ogle, 1901, p 450-451 The fine and well-orderedfarm belonging to Marion JACOBS, near Reedsburg, is conspicuous for the manner in which it has been improved and cultivated, and evidences that it isthe homestead of one of the most enterprising and progressive agriculturistsof Sauk County. A native of PA, he was born in Amity, Erie County, 03 May 1842, and is a son of Galen E. and Martha M. (WADSWORTH) JACOBS. The father wasa native of upper Canada and a son of Gustavus JACOBS, who removed to that country from VT and later to NY. He lived to be over 90 years of age and died at Plattville [Grant County], WI. For some years he worked as a stone masonand boat builder on the Erie canal at Rochester [Monroe County], NY. His grandparents came to America from France, probably from the privince of Alsace.The father of Gustavus JACOBS, who bore the same name, was a member of Colonel STARK's command, at the battle of Bennington [VT] during the Revolutionary war,(War: American Revolutionary War Date: 16th August 1777. Place: New York state on the road east of the Hudson River towards Vermont) and he also reached the advanced age of over 90 years. Our subject's father came with his family to WI in 1855, and settled in the town of Honey Creek, Sauk County, where in connection with the operation of his farm he also worked at the carpenter's trade. He died at North Freedom [Sauk County, WI], in the fall of 1894, at the age of 77 years. His wife, who is still living at that place, was born near Attica [Wyoming County], NY, 19 Apr 1817, and is a daughter [p451] of Rodney WADSWORTH, a cabinet maker, who was engaged in the manufacture of chairs by hand at Attica. His father was a native of Ireland, and during his residence in this country made his home at Attica, where his death occurred. Two great uncles of our subject, William and John JACOBS, were soldiers in the Mexican war. Marion JACOBS accompanied his parents on their removal to Sauk County, and here grew to manhood. Prompted by a spririt of patriotism, he enlisted on 04 Jan 1862 in Comapny F, 23rd WI Volunteer Infantry, for service in the Civil war, and was in the department of the Gulf, under the command, at different times, of Generals Grant, Sherman, Banks andMcClernand. He participated in the battle of Fort Donelson, the siege of Vicksburg and Banks' disastrous expedition up the Red River. Though never wounded or take prisoner, his health was entirely broken down, and after his return to New Orleans from Banks' expedition he was confined to the hospital at that place, and later at Vicksburg, Jefferson Barracks and Prairie du Chien [Crawford County], WI, being finally discharged 26 Jun 1865. He has never recovered his health, but suffers constantly from chronic diarrhea. After thewar Mr. JACOBS worked for a time in a saw mill, and continued to make his home in Honey Creek Township [Sauk County, WI] until 1891, when he bought afarm in Reedsburg Township [Sauk County, WI], where he now resides. He is the owner of two fine farms, aggregating 240 acres of tillable and hay land,and also has an 80-acre timber tract. Potatoes and grain are his chief crops, but he also gives some attention to the breeding of Jersey cattle for his dairy. He has built large barns and has commodious accommodations for hisstock, and everything about his place betokens the thrift and industry of aprogressive owner. On 10 Apr 1870 Mr. JACOBS married Miss Anna M. VOSS, who died in Apr 1871, leaving an infant daughter, Anna, now Mrs. Walter CARPENTER, of North Freedom [Sauk County, WI]. He was again married 08 Nov 1873, his second union being with Miss Louise AMBLER, who was born in Bucks County,PA, and in 1853 came to Sauk County, WI, wit
