Jacob Leist, died Tuesday at the residence of George Mohr, aged about 90 years, Burial will be in Woodland Cemetery Thursday, 11 Feb 1898
Jacques (Jacob) Leist, Sr. b. 1 Mar 1808 in Oberbipp, Switzerland, died 8
Feb 1898 in Van Wert, Ohio, married Marie (Mary) Reber who was b. 9 Dec 1805 in Switzerland and died 15 May 1886 in Hoaglin, Van Wert, Ohio. Jacques and Marie married 1830 in Canton, Bern, Switzerland. Jacques and Marie immigrated to America with their 6 children leaving Havre, Deutschland on the ship "South Carolina" family number 244186, arriving in New York on 29 Aug, 1846, then continuing on to Salem, North Carolina. This is proved by my copy of the original passport written in French issued in Canton de Bern, Switzerland. The ship document lists his name as Jacob and hers as Mary and I found them on an 1850 and 1880 census in Van Wert listed as Jacob and Mary. Perhaps they already had relatives in Van Wert and that is why they settled there. It appears all except Samuel stayed in Ohio, Sam came to Issaquena County, MS in 1853.
Immigrating to America with Jacques and Marie were their 6 children all linked below except Jacques (Jacob) Leist Jr. and Marie which have not been found as of this date.
