Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   Jacob Romine, farmer and stock raiser, Stone Bluff, is the son of Isaac and
Jane (Crane) Romine, who settled on Osborn's prairie in 1825, in Van Buren
township. Both were natives of Virginia. About eight years after they were
married they emigrated to Warren county, Ohio, and from there to Fountain
county, where they died, the former in 1866, aged eighty-four, the latter in
1873, aged eighty-seven. They raised a family of thirteen children, four of whom
are living: Jessie, Jane (now Mrs. Crane), Sarah (now Mrs. Galloway), and Jacob.
Jane Crane, wife of Isaac Romine, was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth
Crane, both natives of Virginia. The former served in the revolutionary war as a
scout; the latter drew a pension for this service. Jacob Romine lives on a part
of the old farm first settled by his father, in 1825. In 1851 he was married to
Miss Rachel Galloway, daughter of John and Ann Galloway, whose sketch will
appear elsewhere in this work. By this marriage Jacob Romine has eight children:
Mattie A., Semanthy J., Eva E., Alvin J., William F., Theodore P., Emma R., and
Isaac M. Jacob Romine and wife are members of the Progressive Friends Society,
and so were his parents. Jacob has a farm of 140 acres in good cultivation and
well improved. In politics he is a national. Mr. Romine passed through all of
the privations attendant to pioneers in a new country. He received but little
schooling. The lack of early education he has endeavored to supply by constant
reading, so far as his business would permit. No man takes greater interest in
behalf of the education of the young. In his opinions, both religious and
political, he is liberal, and desires to see others the same way. His father
before him possessed-similar traits of character. Nothing is more true than like
produces like.
