Obituary:
An Aged Pioneer
Mr. Jacob Stoolfire pays the Debt of Nature on Friday at His Home in Union Township.
No resident of Union township is better known than Jacob Stoolfire, as he has been a resident of that section for the last 53 years, and during that time has been prominently identified with the business interests of the county and has accumulated a large fortune as a farmer and stock raiser. He was born in Washington County, Pa., of German parents, August 4, 1805, and came to Ohio in 1837 and constituted a landmark among the fast diminishing group of pioneers. He was the father of seven children, five of whom survive him, his wife having preceded him to the better land two years ago. Among his children are Messrs. Frank and Charles Stoolfire, Mrs. B. I. Jones and Mrs. Carey Swisher, who have the sympathy and consolation of all who know them in their sad bereavement. The funeral took place on last Sunday at 11 o'clock a.m. from his late home. [Note: "Mrs. Carey Swisher" (Florence B Stoolfire) was his grand-daughter, not his daughter.]

He married Isabel Rodgers 13 Feb 1834 in Washington County, Pennsylvania.

Children:
(1) Charles Stoolfire
(2) Elizabeth Stoolfire
(3) Mary Catherine Stoolfire (1840-1926)
(4) Clarinda Stoolfire
(5) Francis Marion Stoolfire
(6) Lorena V Stoolfire
(7) John R Stoolfire.
