Fortunate, indeed, is the community which receives these people and incorporates them in her body politic. Wherever found they are always industrious, upright and willing to do their share toward the advancement of the material and moral welfare of the community in which they live. In the old country they learned those habits of industry which insure success and upon arriving in this country they never fail to liring along those same habits which made them independent in their old home. Shelby county is fortunate in having so many of these excellent citizens, and among them John Jacoby occupies a prominent part in the community life of Union township, where he has long made his home. John Jacoby, the son of Hubert and Katherine Jacoby, was born in Germany November 27, 1867. His father worked as a laborer in the land of his birth until he came to the United States and located in Earling, Iowa. After locating there, he worked as a farm hand for a few years and then bought the farm where his son, John, is now living. Hubert Jacoby and wife had only one child, John, with whom this narrative deals. His mother died in 1879, before he and his father came to this country. John Jacoby was educated in Germany and came to this country with his father in' the early eighties. He worked for a short time by the month until his father bought a farm and then he and his father began to farm together and have since continued together in partnership. Mr. Jacoby was married January 26, 1890, to Josephine Kenkel, the daughter of Nicholas and Mary Kenkel.
