She was born December 15th, 1828. Soon after their marriage they moved one mile north of Breslau, on the farm now owned by their son, Solomon S., where they resided until October 23 1889, then they moved to near St. Kilian, Nobles County, Minnesota, where they are now residing and spending the evening of their life in comfort and ease.

      Jacob Gole passed away Wednesday night at the home of his son, M.E. Gole at the ripe old age of over ninety five years. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the M.E. church, Rev. J.G. Waterman preaching the sermon. Interment was made in the Ocheyedan cemetery.

      Jacob Gole was born in Stutyard, Germany, October 15, 1819 and died at the home of his son, M.S. Gole in Ocheyedan, December 14, 1914, aged 95 years, 1 month and 24 days. When about ten years of age, he came to America with his parents. In 1847 he was united in marriage with Catherine Shoemaker. They set up housekeeping on a homestead 1 mile north of Breslow, Ontario, where they remained for 42 years, when they moved to Nobles County, Minnesota. In 1893 they came to Ocheyedan. For the past 11 years the deceased made his home with his son, M.S. Gole. About a year ago his wife and life companion was taken to her long home; one son also preceded him in death. The summons came at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening, when quietly and peacefully he closed his eyes in sleep. The surviving relatives are M.S. Gole, Ocheyedan, J.S. Gole, Grand Rapids, Minnesota; Solomon Gole, Bridge Port, Canada; Mrs. Boonstiht, Pilger, Minnesota; Mrs. Wenger, San Lae, Michigan; Mrs. Stauffer, Olds Canada; Mrs. Wellein, Seattle, Washington.
