WHITE, B. A., LL.B. B. F. BOWEN & COMPANY, Inc. Indianapolis, Indiana pages 1082 ~ 1083 JACOB W. DAEGES The automobile business has given employment to hundreds and thousands of men and millions of dollars are invested in the industry at the present time. Elwood Haynes, who invented the automobile in the early nineties, gave rise to an industry which has spread throughout the civilized world. Now there is scarcely a town of any size in the United States where there is not an automobile garage or an automobile salesman. Jacob W. Daeges, of Portsmouth, Iowa, has been engaged in the sale of automobiles and the management of a garage for the past year and has already built up a large and lucrative business in the town and vicinity. He is a man of strict integrity and by his careful business methods and courteous treatment of customers, has had the satisfaction of seeing his business grow by leaps and bounds. Such men are a valuable asset to the community in which they live, and are the backbone of the nation. Jacob W. Daeges, the son of Michael and Johanna (Schmidt) Daeges, was born in 1876, in Prussia. His father was a native of Germany, born in 1839, and came with his family to America in 1881, settling in Washington township, this county. In this township Michael Daeges bought eighty acres of land, made extensive improvements upon it and at the time of his death in Cass township, in 1912, he was one of its substantial farmers. His wife, Johanna Schmidt, was born in Germany in 1851. She is now living on the old home farm. Jacob W. Daeges was one of eleven children born to his parents, all of whom are still living. He remained with his parents until he was twenty-four years of age, receiving a good, common school education in the Washington township schools. He was five years of age when his parents came to this country, and has been identified with the history of the county for the past thirty~three years. When he was twenty-four years of age he started farming for himself by renting land in Lincoln township. Two years later, he married and moved to Missouri. In that state, he first rented land. Two years later bought eighty acres of land there, farming it until he returned to Iowa in 1908. Upon returning to Shelby county he farmed until 1913, when he moved to Portsmouth, Iowa, and became engaged in the automobile repair business and the sale of automobiles. He now has the agency for the Ford and Buick automobiles, and this year has sold a large number of these excellent machines throughout the county. His garage is well equipped with the latest machinery for automobile repairing. Mr. Daeges was married in 1902 to Matilda Thomas, who was born in 1883, in this county. She is the daughter of William Thomas, an early settler of Shelby county, but now living a retired life in Gentry county, Missouri. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Daeges: William, Lena, Louis P., Francis, Elizabeth and Marie, all of whom are still living with their parents. The family are all loyal members of the Catholic church and are generous contributors to its support. Mr. Daeges is a member of the Knights of Columbus. While politically, he is a Democrat, he has never taken an active part in political matters. Transcribed by Marthann Kohl-Fuhs
