  • Notes 
    • Jacob S. Hallman, "was born June 26th, 1842. On October 21st 1862 he was married to Catharine, daughter of Joshua Y. and Magdalena (Martin) Shantz. She was born October 1st, 1842. Soon after their marriage they moved on the farm now possessed by Chas. Muntag, about two miles south of Petersburg where they resided until January 7th, 1891, then he moved on the old "Hunsberger Farm" which he had previously purchased. Here he is engaged in farming on an extensive scale. In 1885 he was nominated as councillor for the township of Wilmot. At the close of the polls at election it was found that he was elected by a majority of 180. In 1886 he was elected second deputy reeve for the township by acclamation, and in 1889 he was elected reeve for the township, and is now serving his eleventh year in the township council, three of which he served in the capacity of deputy reeve and now is serving his seventh year as reeve. During his long period of membership of the municipal council he has rendered valuable assistance in its deliberations. His family consists of three children"
