(WAY) Yackey This portion of the bio came from my 1889 Shelby History Book. Jospeh Yackey was born in Switzerland, December 25, 1848, and is a son of Victon and Mary (Layman) Yackey. When he was three years old his parents determined to try their fortunes in the new world. They lived in New York for two years after they landed, and then removed to La Salle County, Illinois, where his parents died. Until he was fifteen years old his time was divided between duties on the farm and attending school. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in the United States service in Company E, Fourth Illinois Volunteer Cavalry, and was mustered out May 29, 1866, at Houston, Texas. He came to Shelby County, April 2, 1880, and has since made this county his home. Prior to coming here he bought an eighty-acre tract in section 13, Union Township-the land upon which the town of Defiance, except the Haines addition, stands. When the Milwaukee Railroad was in course of construction Mr. Yackey disposed of his farm to the company, and bought 160 acres in sections 8 and 17. This was raw prairie, but has all been placed under cultivation. Mr. Yackey erected a comfortable residence and buildings for stock and grain, and planted three acres of grove. He continued his residence there until the spring of 1888, when he disposed of the place and bought the Moffitt farm, consisting of 160 acres, in section 10. Mr. Yackey is a member of Guardian Lodge, No. 441, A. F. & A. M., and of the I. 0. 0. F., of Defiance, and of the G. A. R., Defiance Post. He was married December 25, 1866, to Miss Harriette Way , daughter of Hiram and Harriette (Allen ) Way, who was born April 2, 1850, in La Salle County, Illinois. They are the parents of six children - Hiram V., Edith Evaline, Mary T., George L., Joseph H., Hattie V. They are worthy and consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Yackey is a local minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, supplying pulpits whenever duty calls. Source: 1889 Biographical History of Shelby and Audubon Counties, Iowa ... Chicago, W.S.
