• Notes

  Jacob Haas, "of Swiss descent, came from Deep Run, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He arrived in Waterloo in 1827, and had his home with Christian Shantz where he rented a shop and commenced making boots and shoes. A few years later he formed an acquaintance with Nancy, daughter of John and Magdalena (Shuh) Keller, to whom he was married. He was born July 28th, 1802, and died May 31st, 1863. Nancy Keller (his wife) was born August 2nd, 1816, and died December 22nd, 1865. After their marriage they moved on the old "Keller Farm" now in possession of Cyrus Cressman. Here they resided until about the year 1848 when they moved on Daniel Burkholder's place, a few miles north-east of Bloomingdale. From here they moved to near Jacob Gole's farm, one mile north of Breslau, where he died. After his death she had her home with her son Isaac, who resided in Waterloo, where she died a few years after her husband. Their family consisted of nine children" Eby, Ezra E. (1895).
