Charles W. Jacobs, whose namc introduces this sketch, was born February 28, 1845, in Bradford county, where he grew to manhood, and was cdu- cated in much the usual manner of farmer lads. Throughout his active business life he has suc- cessfully engaged in the occupations of lumbering and farming, making his home in Susquehanna county after his marriage until 1891, when he pur- chased the farm in Wayne county, near the village of Starrucca, on which he is now living. It is well improved, and is one of the most desirable places of the locality.
In 1866 Mr. Jacobs was united in marriage with Miss Lucretia Knapp, of Susquehanna county, a daughter of Peter and Mahala Knapp, prosperous farming people of that county. . Two children bless this union, namely: Edward A., born in Susque- hanna county, in 1873, was educated in the schools of that county, and in 1896 married Winnifred Washburn, of Thompson ; they live near his father's homestead. Myrtle, born in Susquehanna county, in 1874, obtaincd a good common-school education, and is now at home with her parents.
Since casting his first vote, Mr. Jacobs has has taken an active interest in the Republican party, which he always supports by his ballot, and has done much to promote its interests. In religious con- nection he and his wife affiliate with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and socially they occupy a po- sition of prominence, numbering among their friends many of the best people of the community. Public-spirited and enterprising, Mr. Jacobs gives * his support to all worthy objects for the good of his adopted town and county.
JACOB WESTBROOK (deccased) was a man of the highest respectability, and those who were most intimately associated with him speak in un- qualified terms of his sterling integrity, his honor in business, and his fidelity to all the duties of pub- lic and private lite. In his life-span of almost seventy years he accomplished much, and left be- hind him an honorable record well worthy of per- petuation.
Mr. Westbrook was born November 4, 1824. in Sussex county, N. J., a son of Benjamin and Mary ( Nearpass) Westbrook, also natives of Sus- scx county, who made their home there until 1841. in that year removing to a farm in Westfall town- ship. Pike Co., Penn .. where they continued to reside until called to their final rest. The father was one of the leading citizens of his community. and served as justice of the peace and in many other township offices. . In the family were four children, all now deceased. namely: Solomon, who married Elizabeth Westfall: Jacob: Sally J., wife of Solomon Van Inwegen ; and Catherine, who mar-
ried John Quinn, also deccased. Our subject's pa- ternal grandfather was Abram Westbrook.
Jacob Westbrook spent his boyhood and youth under the parental roof in much the usual manner of farmer boys of his day. On October 29, 1858, at Pemberton, N. J., he married Miss Caroline Palmer, who was born at Mt. Hope, Orange Co., N. Y. Her parents, Robert R. and Mehitable ( Penny) Palmer, were natives of Sullivan county, and Mit. Hopc. Orange Co., N. Y., respectively, and came to Pike county, Penn., in 1840, locating in Milford, where the father carried on business as a micrchant tailor. Later they removed to West- fall township, and he turned his attention to agri- cultural pursuits. He was widely and favorably known, and was honored with a number of town- ship offices. He died December 24, 1882, aged seventy-one years, his wife February 12. 1885. aged seventy-threc. and both were buried in Milford cemeterv. Their children were Carolinc. now Mrs. Westbrook ; Henry E., a farmer of Wyoming county, N. Y., who married Henrietta Slack ; John WV., deceased, who married Harriet Olmstead : Maria A., a resident of Matamoras, Penn. ; Mary and Jane, twins, who died unmarried; and Robert R., a grain merchant of Creston, Ill., who married Ella Lockwood.
Among the first Pilgrims from the Old to the New World were three by the name of Palmer who came from Nottinghamshire, England, Will- iam, in 1621; Walter and Abraham, brothers. in 1629. Though from the same locaity in England, it is not certain they were brothers. William settled in what is now called Duxbury, Mass .; Walter at Pawtucket, now Stonington, Conn .; and Abraham removed to Barbadoes, West Indies. William and Walter are the ancestors of a legion of descend- ants, the larger proportion being the posterity of Walter, who in 1653 settled at Stonington, Conn., where he died in 1661. His homestead there was at Wequetquock Cove. Mrs. Westbrook's pater- nal grandparents, Aaron and Silpha ( Rogers) Palmer, were natives of Sullivan county, N. Y., where the former died, the latter passing away in New Jersey while on a visit. Their children were: Smith : Daniel: Robert R .. father of Mrs. West- brook: Margaret, wife of C. Ayers: Charity. wite of J. Gregory; Elizabeth, wife of Louis Taylor: Dolly, vife of T. Buchanan: Stephen : Dorrence ; and Henry.

In September, 1862, he en- listed in Company D, 179th P. V. I., under Capt. John D. Frazier, for nine months, and served with the rank of second lieutenant.

EUGENE L. BATES, who is numbered among the substantial and energetic farmers of Dy- berry township, Wayne county, was born January 8, 1859, on the old homestead where he still con- tinues to reside, and is a son of John and Emily (Swingle) Bates, the former a native of Cornwall, England, the latter of South Canaan, Wayne coun- ty. The father, who became a prosperous farmer of Dyberry township, died June 11, 1887, and the mother departed this life September 28, 1889.

Mr. Bates is one of the most thrifty, progress- ive and enterprising farmers and dairymen of Dyberry township, and in his business undertakings has met with a well-merited success. On attain- ing his majority he became a supporter of the Democratic party, but, seeing what a curse the free use of alcohol has been, he has for the past two years cast his ballot with the Prohibition party. He has never cared for the honors or emoluments of public office, but has efficiently served as school director in his township.
WILLIAM HAAG, one of the representative and prosperous farmers carrying on operations in Greene township, Pike county, was born in Dreher township, Wayne county, January 23. 1859, and is a son of John Haag, a native of Prussia, Germany, born March 17, 1817.

In that State he engaged in mining for three years, and was quite successful. Returning to Pennsylvania he purchased property in what is now Dreher township, Wayne county, and upon his place erected a gristmill, which he operated until his death, which occurred December 13, 1891. Be- sides his mill property and farming lands in Dreher township, Wayne county, he owned two good farms in Pike county, having met with good success in his business ventures. He was an ardent Repub- lican, but he never cared for political favors. Re- ligiously he was an earnest member of the Evan- gelical Church, and at his death his remains were interred in the Evangelical cemetery in Dreher township.
At the home of the bride in Pike county, John Haag was married, October 4. 1856, to Miss Louisa Robacker, and they became the parents of the fol- lowing children: Anna, born August 4, 1857, is the wife of David Leisher, a farnier of Greene town- ship, Pike county ; William, our subject, comes next ; Maurice, born April 1, 1861, married Jennie Com-

GEORGE L.
