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)
