  • Notes 
    • Lived in Vandeleur, ON, Canada as of 1917. On their marriage record, he is recorded as being 29, and a farmer, from Artemisia, which puts his birth year closer to 1866. Witnesses were Peter E. Holley (his brother) & Mary R. Speer (presume her sister).

      In the 1901 census, he is next door to his brother William J. in Grey County, Artemesia Sub-district, along with his wife and adopted daughter Edna C.

      Birth Date has also been listed as 22 Sept. 1864.

      From his nephew?s (Elmer Howard) family history:

      He was a farmer, his wife?s name being Jenny Speers. I always admired Uncle Jake. As a boy I spent a good part of my time in their home, as they had no children. He was such a happy fellow always laughing and telling jokes. He was a wonderful provider, a good farmer, and was beyond a doubt the slowest moving person I ever knew. He was also the greatest bargain hunter, and a wonderful fellow, and I loved him. From web site of Curtis Boyle, Jan 2011.
