"I always admired Grandfather Hougham. Grandmother died at the age of 42 years leaving 10 children - one almost a baby who died soon after her death. He never married again, devoted his whole life to his family and did a good job training them - no disgraces or shotgun weddings. Grandfather died at the age of 63. The youngest Uncle Jake (Ellen's gf) was 17 years old - made his home with my parents until he married Josie (sister to Lizzie's husband John Bothwell Walker)....Grandfather was a good provider, had several hundred acres of land, raised and fed lots of cattle. After Grandfather was older his children who lived around near had lots of potlucks and get togethers at his hime. He was very proud of us grandchildren and I wonder how he survived those days for we all tried to sit on his lap at once, braided his hair, braided his beard, ouch!! It must have hurt. Listened to his watch tick until we almost wore it off its chain. He gave the ground where the cemetery is when the first man in that community passed away and that man was my great grandfather Van Cleave born long before I existed." OBITUARY - Dallas County News - Oct 14, 1891 p.3 Jacob Hougham was born in Henry County Indiana October 19, 1821. Was married to Mary E. Williamson Sept. 4, 1859, moved to Guthrie County same year and from there to Dallas County in 1865, to the home where he spent the balance of his life. Eleven children were born to him, of whom 8 are now living, three having preceded him in death. His wife died Sept. 10, 1874. Mr. Hougham was stricken with paralysis in Jan. 1889, since which time he has been confined to his bed. On the 1st ___ producing complete helplessness and insensibility, yet life remained until the 5th day when the silver cord was loosened, and the wheel at the sistern ceased to move, only 12 days before his three score and ten years had terminated. A very large concourse of people gathered at their last tribute of respect to him and in sympathy of those who remain. Thus he was laid beside his wife in the cemetery near his house where the funeral services were held and conducted by Rev. George Wright of Adel.
