Jacobi, John. The subject of this sketch was born in Warsaw, Poland, on April
16, 1846. He left his native country in June, 1854, coming to the United States,
landing in New York City, where he remained six months, and then settled in
Plainfield, Connecticut, where he worked for his board and attended school for a
period of two years. At the expiration of this time he moved to Springfield,
Massachusetts, and was employed in the United States armory. He went from there
to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1867, where he procured a situation in the
adjusting department of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. While a resident of
this place he took out naturalization papers. He left Hartford in 1873 for
California, and arrived in San Francisco in May of that year. He engaged to work
for Samuel Hill as agent to sell the Florence sewing machine, establishing
himself at Petaluma. This business he followed till 1878, when he became
proprietor of the marble works, which he has since continued with marked
success. He married on April 5, 1875, Miss Jennie Lodge, who was born November
16, 1853.
