WINDLE, JACOB

Death of Jacob Windle

The announcement of the death of Jacob Windle Monday evening was a shock to his old friends and neighbors. We were all aware of his sickness but none suspected that the "silken chord" was so suddenly to be broken. Mr. Windle had been sick of spotted fever but was believed to be slowly recovering infact he was feeling very much better during the afternoon just preceeding his death and his family and friends were hopeful of a speedy recovery. There was a decided change in his condition however, late in the afternoon, and growing rapidly worse until 6:30 o'clock he passed away from the scenes of earth, leaving a large family of grown sons and daughters, as well as everyone who knew him intimately, to mourn the loss of a kind father, a good neighbor and an upright and useful citizen.

Funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church at 10:30 Wednesday morning, by the pastor, the attendance being large and the service throughout very impressive, after which the remains were followed to Riverside cemetery for the last sad rites.

Jacob Windle was born in Virginia Feb. 7, 1833. He moved to Ohio when a young man. From there he went to Nebraska where he resided for a number of years. Coming to Idaho in 1882, he lived in Boise for two years and then located on Washoe bottom near Payette, where he made a beautiful home and resided up to the time of his death, Monday April 11th, 1898, at 6:30 o'clock, at the age of 65 years, two months and four days. He leaves eight children, three sons and five daughters: Mrs. Frank Whyman, now in Nebraska, Mrs. D. B. Coates, Wm. Windle, Mrs. W. F. Eberle, George Windle, Thomas Windle, Mrs. Wm. Whyman, of Boise, Mrs. Wm. Young.

JOSEPH WINDLE. Among the pioneers of Nemaha Township there are few who have been more deeply interested and earnestly anxious for its advancement than he who is the subject of this sketch, now a prosperous farmer upon section 8. He is the son of Abraham and Mary Ann Windle, natives of Virginia, where their family chronology is clearly traceable for seven or eight generations. The grandfather upon the maternal side (Bubeck) was in the War of 1812, and served as a private throughout the campaign. The parents of our subject were married in their native State, where the father had a good farm and was quite prosperous. In 1839, however, he sold his property and took a tract of timber land in Ohio, and erected the primitive log cabin, clearing his farm tree by tree and acre by acre. Here they made their home until the year 1870, when he died, aged seventy-seven years. His widow still resides in Putnam County, Ohio, and is sixty-nine years of age. Mr. Windle, Sr., was twice married, and by the first union became the parent of five children, and by his second, with Miss Bubeck (sic), his family was increased by ten others, whose names are recorded as follows: By first wife, William, Immanuel, Cornelius, James H., and Isaac. By second: Jacob and Abraham (twins); Samuel died in infancy; Joseph, Eliza, David, John, Mary A., Rachel C. and Amanda A. Our subject was born on the 7th of January, 1837, in Shenandoah County, Va. He was two years of age when his family removed to Ohio, and it was in the latter State that he received the foundation of his education, which was commenced when he was twelve years of age. When about twenty years of age he went with his brother Jacob to Illinois and worked for about two years in McLean County, and then returned home to Ohio. In the year 1859 our subject became the husband of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Murfield, the daughter of George W. and Hannah (Baker) Murflld, who were natives of Maryland and New York respectively. Grandfather Murfild was one of the heroes of 1812, and was wounded to complete disablement while in that service. Mr. and Mrs. Murfild settled in Franklin County, and were married there in 1839; he died at the age of fifty years, on the 28th of February, 1881, at his son's in Indiana. His widow still lives in Delaware County, and has reached the advanced age of sixty-eight. She was the parent of twelve children, whose names are recorded as follows: Sarah E., William, Mary A., Daniel, Corella, Ellen, Tilda, George, Phebe, Johnny (deceased), Immanuel and Martha. The wife of our subject was born in Franklin County, Ohio, July 13, 1840, at the homestead, which was situated on the banks of the Scioto River. She made her home until the time of her marriage, however, with her grandparents, who superintended the process of her education and gave her the best that was obtainable in the common school of that time, and were delighted by the mental power manifested during this process, and the revelation of the many beautiful traits, characteristics, qualities and graces that first attracted our subject to her, and have ever since secured to her the first and highest place in his life. Mr. and Mrs. Windle settled in Ohio, and previous to our subject's enlistment became the parents of three children. Their family, however, in all numbered names are as appended: Ellen J., Charley (deceased), Joseph E., Joshua M., Amanda A. (deceased), George W., Clara O., Martha A. (deceased), Alvina, Flora and John F. (both deceased), and James H. Of the children of our subject, Ellen J. was married to Frank Shelt, and is resident in Fillmore County, Neb., where he has a well-cultivated farm; they are the parents of three children, who have been named Bertha B., Bessie P. and Mabel O. Joseph E. became the husband of Miss Addie Houk; he also is one of Fillmore County's rising farmers. They are the parents of one child, who has received the name Ethel Belle. The school or farm duties. The military experience of our subject began in 1864, when he enlisted in Company K, of the 136th Ohio Infantry, and was mustered into service at Camp Chase and departed for Washington City. His term of service was for 100 days. The first two weeks of service were spent in Ft. Ellsworth, from there his regiment was sent to Ft. Wood, thence sent to Ft. Farnsworth, where the major part of his term of service was spent. Thence he was brought back to Camp Chase, mustered out and honorably discharged, returned home and resumed his farm work. In 1872 our subject removed from Ohio, and arrived at Bennet, Neb., in April of that year, although he had visited and prospected the previous fall, and was so delighted with the outlook that upon his return he sold his property in Ohio, as above intimated, and began a new life in a new country. He purchased from Mr. Clough a homestead of 160 acres in extent for the sum. of $250, and from that time, despite some adverse circumstances and difficulties incidental to life under the most favorable conditions, he has been more than usually successful. His home is very pleasantly situated and is abundantly supplied with shade trees, while not far distant from it is an exceptionally fine grove, comprising ash, walnut, box-elder and cottonwood trees. The garden and fields of the farm are bounded by well trimmed hedges, adding much to the picturesqueness of the situation. The whole of the farm is well improved, and has been brought to a very high state of agricultural perfection. Mr. Windle has from the first been energetic in projects for the advancement of the community. Shortly after arrival he succeeded in effecting the and was also energetic in the organization of the township, of which he was the first Justice of the Peace. Our subject and wife are very consistent and active members of the Meserveville Methodist Church. They have always been deeply in earnest in religious matters, and active workers in the cause. The first service held and sermon preached in Nemaha Township were at the home of but withal comfortable and bright. The preacher was the Rev. Hull, of Adams. His text was "Despise not the time of small things," from which he preached an appropriate and telling sermon to an audience that more than filled the house, many of whom had come a distance of about ten miles. These things speak with no uncertain sound the inclination, desire, character and tendencies of our subject and wife, and render further remark unnecessary. In regard to political and Governmental questions our subject is in sympathy with the Republican party and usually supports that cause, but never at the sacrifice of what he believes to be the right.

Born, raised, and married in Franklin Co., Ohio, relocated his family to Putnam County before 1880, then to Brown County, Kansas at some later date.
