Indianapolis, Indiana pages 1191 ~ 1192 JACOB ECKERMAN. It is proper to judge of a man's success and status in life by the estimation in which he is held by his fellow citizens. They see him at his work, in his family circle, in his church, at his devotions, hear his views on public questions, observe the outcome of his code of morals, witness how he con~ ducts himself in all the relations of life and thus become competent to judge of his merits and demerits. After a long course of years of such daily observation, it would be out of the question for his neighbors not to know his worth, because, as has been said, "actions speak louder than words." In this county there is nothing but good spoken of Jacob Eckerman, a prosperous merchant of Westphalia and a public~spirited citizen of his community. Jacob Eckerman, the son of Louis and Wilhelmina (Dorneaden) Ecker~ man, was born July 7, 1872, in Jo Daviess county, Illinois. His father was born, reared and married in Germany and came to this country several years after their marriage. They first settled in Jo Daviess county, Illinois, and five years later moved to Lafayette county, Wisconsin, where they lived for twenty~seven years. In that county, Louis Eckerman purchased a farm of two hundred and fifty acres and farmed as only German farmers can. He finally disposed of his farm in Wisconsin and came to Shelby county, Iowa, and settled in Westphalia, where he lived until his death, December 7, 1909. Jacob Eckerman was one of seven children born to his parents and received a good education in the Catholic schools of Wisconsin and later graduated from the high school in his immediate neighborhood. While attending school in the winter season as a youth, he spent his summer vacations, upon the farm assisting his father in the care of his large farm. After leaving the high school he continued to work upon the home farm until 1907 when he came to Westphalia, and purchased the general merchandise store of R. H. Mester, which he has since been very successfully managing. He carries a large and varied assortment of merchandise such as is found in stores in towns of this size and by his courteous and deferential treatment of his customers has built up a big trade in the town and surrounding community. Mr. Eckerman was married February 6, 1906, to Theresa Von Tersch, the daughter of Charles and Emma (Berns) Von Tersch, and to this union there have been born two children, Raymond and Fern. Mr. Von Tersch and his wife are natives of Germany and came to this county in 1874, locating upon a farm one mile and a half east of Westphalia. Mr. Von Tersch now lives in Westphalia and is engaged in the real estate business. The Democratic party claims the support of Mr. Eckerman but he has never been an aspirant for public office, preferring to devote all of his time and energy to his mercantile interests. He and his wife are loyal members of the Catholic church and contribute generously of their means to its sup~ port. He is a member of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin. While living in Wisconsin he was a member of the local school board. Mr. Eckerman is a man of genial disposition with a host of warm friends in the community.
