Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ephlin are the oldest couple in Tuscola. They came here from
Parke county, Indiana, April 4, 1858, when the number of inhabitants could be
counted on the fingers of two hands. They have lived here more than forty years,
and out from the doorway of no home in Tuscola has come a kinder greeting to the
wayfarer or a more hospitable reception to friends and relatives. Uncle Jake is
closely related with the primitive town and the early county, having been among
the first business men and serving as deputy sheriff under I. L. Jordan. Aunt
Martha is best known for her charitable deeds that tell of missions of kindness
and love and crown her with glory. To a life full of years and rich in
experience they have added the greatest measure of affection for each other and
love for mankind, two gems that shine with undimmed splendor by the crown of
human possibility.
