COZAD, farmer, section 5, Morgan Township, is a son of Alice and Emeline (Swank) Cozad, natives of Ohio. The father was born in Cuyahoga County, and the mother in Warren County. Alice Cozad was of Scotch-Irish descent. His grandfather, Samuel Cozad, immigrated to America before the Revolutionary war. His father, Jacob Cozad, was born in New Jersey. Alice immigrated to Indiana about the year 1834. He was married in Warren County, that State. In 1854 they came to Decatur County, where they arrived November 13, having been just one month on the road, coming all the way with teams and wagons. Alice Cozad settled on section 7, Morgan Township, where he entered and improved eighty acres of land, and where he lived until his death, which occurred August 30, 1868. His wife lives at the old homestead. Mr. Cozad was one of the prominent and well-known pioneers of this county. Politically he was a Democrat of the Jackson school. He was well informed on the general topics of the day, and a great reader. He held the office of drainage commissioner two years, when the office was abolished. He also held prominent township offices, having served as justice of the peace several years, and was a member of the Board of Supervisors. He was reared a Presbyterian, and always adhered to the principle of that faith; but, there being no church of that denomination near him he united with the Methodist church, and was for many years a class-leader in that church, and a liberal supporter of the gospel. He had ten children -- six sons and four daughters; five sons and four daughters are living, and all are residents of Decatur County, except one son, John, who resides in Appanoose County. Jacob A., the subject of this sketch, was born in Warren County, Indiana, December 8, 1841. He enlisted April 1, 1862, in the Third Missouri Cavalry, which was afterward consolidated with the Seventh, and he served until the close of the war, a period of over three years. He was in active service during the whole time of his enlistment. His regiment operated in Southern Missouri and Arkansas. He participated in many important events of the war, principally against the Confederate General Price. He was wounded by a gunshot in the right foot, July 10, 1864, and has never fully recovered from its effects. Since the war he has been engaged in farming in Morgan Township. His present farm contains 180 acres and he has twenty acres of timber elsewhere in the township. He was married March 4, 1869, to Sarah J. Hubbard, a daughter of Marks L. Hubbard, of Morgan Township, and they have five living children -- Alta, Levette, Merton, James and Orril. Minnie, the eldest, died at the age of six years. Mr. Cozad is a Democrat politically. He has held the office of Justice of the peace fourteen years, and still holds that position."
