OBITUARY OF PIONEER SETTLER
Isaac Newton Jacobs, was born in Indiana, April 2nd, 1839, and was 86
years and 12 days of age.
At an early age he went to Keokuk Co., Iowa, where he lived til 1863,
when he crossed the Plains with an ox train, himself walking most of the
way. At one time he was sent back on foot, and alone in search of stock
which had strayed from the train, and wandered several days, dodging
hostile Indians, until he finally rejoined his friends, so footsore and
weary he could scarcely walk.
He went to Virginia City, Nevada, where he engaged in the business of
making brick, until the following year, when he returned East, as far as
the La Platte River, where he met the George Wimer train coming West. He
joined them, and came to Surprise Valley, where he built the first house,
a log cabin, still standing on his ranch, two and a half miles north of
Lake City, now owned by Mr. Stewart.
On May 30th, 1866, he was married to Julia Etta Wimer, and to them none
children were born: O. W. Jacobs, of Adel, Oregon; W. S.; Victor L., and
Lester L. Jacobs, and Mrs. Lydia Tonningsen, all of lake City; Mrs. C. F.
Wheeler, of Cedarville, Mrs. F. G. Messner of Ft. Bidwell and two babies,
who died in infancy.
Mr. Jacobs was a man of high ideals and sterling qualities, honest and
generous, loving humanity and charitable thereto, his hospitality was
well known and his friends were many. He successfully filled the offices
of Deputy Assessor and Supervisor of the first district. Mr. Jacobs was
preceded to the Great Beyond by his beloved wife by two years and four
months; since her death he has gradually wasted away. A sorrowing
community mourns the loss of a good neighbor and friend.

DR. J. T. MEREDITH PASSES
Last Thursday morning we received a wire from Los Angeles stating that
Dr. J. T. Meredith had passed away at that place the evening before. Dr.
Meredith was well known throughout this valley and County as a skillful
physician and one who never failed to answer a call no matter from whom
or where it came, and many times he went without the hope of a fee, or
reward and his hand was ever open to the needy and distressed, and when
he left for the balmier climate of Los Angeles in order to prolong his
own life, he left behind a host of grateful friends, who sadly miss him.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, Mrs. Laura Meredith of Los Angeles,
and two sons, Dr. Thos Meredith, of Alturas and Charles Meredith, who
resides somewhere in Washington, to whom is extended the sincere sympathy
of many friends. (Jesse T. Meredith)
