Jacob Hooser Sr 1897
Life EventDateDescription
Birth25 October 1807Jacob S. Hooser Sr. was born on 25 October 1807 at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
He was the son of Jacob F. Hooser and Catherine (?)
Marriagebefore 1832Jacob S. Hooser Sr. married Elizabeth Knotts before 1832 at near Eddysville, Illinois.
Marriage1875Jacob S. Hooser Sr. married Mary Bennett, daughter of Levi Bennett and Mary Jacobs, in 1875 at second marriage for him also reported as 1873.
DeathMarch 1899Jacob S. Hooser Sr. died in March 1899 at age 91 JACOB HOOSER (deceased) was for many years a resident of Grant county, Wis., and played a man's part in the giant endeavor his generation was making to reclaim the wilderness for the home for a happy and prosperous people.

Mr. HOOSER was born in Sumner county, Tenn., Oct. 25, 1807, and was a son of Jacob and Catherine HOOSER, who came from Germany and made their home in Tennessee for a time. They moved to Philadelphia, when somewhat advanced in life, where he worked at this trade, that of a blacksmith, for some years. In 1820 he transferred himself and his family to Sangamon county, Illinois, where they lived until both husband and wife had passed away. Six children were born to them: Ambrose, their eldest son, came to Grant county, and followed farming in the town of Platteville until he died; Jacob; Polly married a Mr. HASS, and died near Dubuque; Rolina married and died in Illinois; John died in Illinois;, and Katie is Mrs. John FINLEY, of Nebraska.

Jacob HOOSER came to Galena previous to the Black Hawk war in 1832. He was engaged in that uprising, was in many fights with the Indians, and had several narrow escapes for his life. He married Elizabeth KNOX, of Illinois, who died at his home in Platteville in 1867, the mother of four children. Justice, John and Amanda are dead, and Jacob is living in Oklahoma. Mr. HOOSER purchased from the government a section of land in Platteville township, and in 1848 built a stone house, which is in good preservation at the present time. He also built a stone house for one of his sons on the same property. This is now owned by Fred KLINGER. Mr. HOOSER made many improvements on these houses during his life. He dealt largely in real estate, and owned considerable land in different parts of Grant county. He was a Republican during his life, and filled a number of local offices, and was a prominent man in the affairs of the township. He was brought up a Baptist, but never united with the church. At the age of ninety-two he passed away, dying in March, 1899.

In 1875 Mr. HOOSER and Miss May BENNETT were united in marriage. She is the daughter of Levi and Mary (JACOBS) BENNETT, and was born in Lafayette county April 11, 1847. To this union four children were born: Mary E., born in 1875 at their present homestead, was educated in the high school at Platteville, and is a young lady of culture and refinement, and inmate of her mother's home; Archie B., born in 1879, educated in the Platteville high school, and for some time a student of the State Normal, is the manager of the family estate, and is a young man of much ability, highly spoken of in the community; Sarah B., born in Platteville, in September, 1882, is now a student in the Platteville school; Lester W., born Feb. 4, 1877, was a promising young man and had many friends, and died July 22, 1894. Archie, the only surviving son, is a stanch Republican; he is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and the K. of P. of Platteville. The members of this family are very much respected, as was their father before them, and are useful citizens of the community.

1881In 1881 JACOB HOOSER, Sr., Platteville; one of the earliest of Grant Co.'s pioneer settlers, was born Oct. 25, 1807, in Lancaster Co., Penn. His father, Jacob F., a blacksmith, soon after took his family to St. Louis. On July 15, 1828, young Hooser arrived in Galena, Ill., then comprising the U. S. warehouse, a store and Jonathan Meeker's furnace. Four days later, Mr. Hooser came to Platteville. Here he met J. H. Rountree, and was by him employed to burn a quantity of charcoal, and to do sundry jobs of blacksmithing. During the summer of 1829, Mr. Hooser opened up a farm on the Pecatonica River. The next year was spent at mining in "Jimtown." In the spring of 1831, he bought out the claim of a miner, which purchase gave him 160 acres, 80 of which he still owns. At the outbreak of the Black Hawk war, he assisted in the building of a stockade on the present farm of Mr. Roseleib, then owned and occupied by E. M. Orrin. Early in the summer of 1832, Mr. Hooser went to Galena, where he earned good wages at shoeing horses during the Indian war. On the surrender of Black Hawk, Mr. H. again sought his Platteville farm, where he has since resided. Hr married, near Eddysville, Ill., Elizabeth Knotts, who died Feb. 14, 1865, leaving three children - Justus D., Jacob and Amanda E. The present Mrs. Hooser was Mary Bennett, and by her he has three children - Marietta, Lester M. and Archie B. The 160 acres before mentioned, was bought of the Government, at the first land sale ever held at Mineral Point.3
