Named in the 1886 county history

The history of Seneca County was published 1 year before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

HENRY JACOBS, proprietor of the "Jacobs Neck-yoke Manufactory," was born in Karlskrohna, Sweden, March 28, 1838, son of Hokenson and Mary Jacobson (the name ' 'Jacobs' ' being the English abbreviation). In 1854 the parents came to this country and located at Rock Island, 111. , where they were carried off by the cholera; they left three sons and two daughters: John, a mechanic, with the firm; Henry, the subject of this sketch; Mary, now Mrs. Nelson, of Waco, Tex.; Anna, wife of Owen Jones, of Marshall, Kas.; and Oliver, whose whereabouts is unknown. Henry Jacobs was reared in Knox County, 111. Being dependent, he set about obtaining a good education, and after a while taught school.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Seneca County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
