Dale, Jacob M., second son of John Dale, was born in Center township,
Perry county, Pennsylvania, May 17, 1832. He was put out at an early age
to live with a Dutch farmer, and learned the language of his
foster-parents, so that he now speaks it equally as well as English. At
his majority he took up chair making and painting, and followed this
occupation many years. He became a citizen of Zumbro in 1856, taking a
claim on section 19, June 26. He still dwells on the original claim, and
has one hundred and six acres of land. He arrived with nothing, and is now
independent. On February 24, 1859, he was united in marriage to Miss
Hannah E. Henry, daughter of James Henry, whose sketch appears elsewhere.
Mrs. Dale has always been called Lizzie. She was born in Vernon, Trumbull
county, Ohio, October 17, 1834. Mr. Dale is a republican and himself and
wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. They have two
children: John A., born March 2, 1861, resides at Grafton, Dakota; Carrie
E., August 8, 1865, now fitting herself for a teacher at Rochester.
