Notes for Jacob M. DICK:

Prof. J.T. Stewart, ed., Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Her People, Past and Present, (Chicago, J.H. Beers & Co., 1913), p. 1123.

JACOB M. DICK, general farmer and stock raiser, who is giving particular attention to the breeding of fine horses, in Cherryhill township, Indiana county, is a son of Jacob P. and Elizabeth (Mock) Dick.

Jacob P. Dick lost his father when he was a mere lad, and his boyhood was spent in hard work. He became an early settler of Indiana county, where he first engaged in lumbering and subsequently in farming, and the farm now occupied by Jacob M. Dick was the original family homestead. A highly esteemed citizen, he passed away in 1900, while his widow, a native of Blair county, Pa., still resides in Indiana county. There were fourteen children in the family of Jacob P. Dick, seven of them being half-brothers and half-sisters of Jacob M. Dick, as follows: David H., living near Clymer; George, who resides near Greenville, Pa.; Margaret, Andrew and John, who are deceased; Nancy A., wife of Benjamin Bowers, of Martinsburg, Pa.; and Martin, a resident of Cherryhill township. His own brothers and sisters were: William, a resident of Iowa; James, living near Johnstown, Pa.; Frank, of Greenville; and three who died in infancy.

Jacob M. Dick was born in Cherryhill township Sept. 4, 1874, attended the schools of that township, and was reared to the vocation of agriculturist, which he has followed throughout his life. General farming, stock raising and the breeding of fine horses have occupied his attention, and in addition to his farm he owns city property in Clymer and is a director of the Clymer National Bank.

In 1899 Mr. Dick was married in Cherryhill township, to Elizabeth Hollsaple, who was born in that township, daughter of Joseph and Catherine (Lehman) Hollsaple, the latter of whom is deceased. Mrs. Dick's father, formerly a school teacher and minister of the United Brethren Church, eventually turned his attention to farming, but is now living retired at Penn Run. Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Dick: Luella, Florence, Mildred, Grace and Leroy.

Mr. Dick and his family are members of the United Brethren Church, and fraternally he is connected with the Odd Fellows Lodge at Pineflats. He is interested in the advancement of good citizenship and education, and for four years has served capably at a member of the school board. He is a director of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company.

RECEPTION ON THANKSGIVING

Happy Time Spent at Dick Home in Cherryhill

Mr. Frank M. Dick, youngest son of Mrs. J.P. Dick, and Miss Minnie Nelson Fyock, of Penn Run, were united in marriage on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

It was the desire of Mrs. Dick, the groom's mother, to have at her home a reception for the young couple and incidentally a reunion of her children. This was held on Thanksgiving Day, resulting in the presence of the following persons: Caroline Simpson and her husband, Mr. R.E. Simpson, with their son, Earl D. and Jennie O., his wife, also Miss Vera and Master Edgar Budd, children of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson; Mr. Elmer E. Hadden, and wife, Annie, and their daughter, Elizabeth; Mrs. Lizzie Henry and her children, Frank and Gay; Mr. J.M. Dick and his wife, Elizabeth, with their two daughters, Luella and Grace; Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Fyock, the parents, and Robert and Miss Annie, brother and sister of the bride.

None of these parties are graduates in Anatomy but they succeeded in a scientific dissection of a turkey.

A number of valuable and appropriate presents graced the occasion. Pleasant conversation, interspersed with sweet strains of music were among the enjoyments.

An old-fashioned serenade brought out an attendance of the weed as well as sweets on the previous evening, to the joy of the participants.
