      ________________

      Jacob Shoemaker.

      This aged citizen is a familiar figure here daily as he now lives a retired life with his daughter, Mrs. David B Letson. Mr. Shoemaker has experienced the vicissitudes incident to pioneer life. He commenced married life in bush in 1849 with Miss Veronica, daughter of the late Benjamin Snider. At that time he was in the twenty-fifth year of his age. They had seven children born to them, six of whom are still living. The mother died October 18, 1895. The father of the subject of this sketch was the late John D. Shoemaker, of near Breslau, who was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, in 1800 lacking two months of being ninety-five years of age. The wife of the latter was also born in Montgomery county, Pa., the year of her birth being 1823, and her death occurred about twenty years ago. Mr. Shoemaker, the subject of this sketch, is enjoying life in his declining years, being amply provided for in this particular by the proceeds of his farm, lot No. 129, consisting of 150 acres, near the village.
