A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF DELAWARE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, IND.
A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894  -  Page 912-913

        EDWIN S. JAQUA, one of the rising young members of the Winchester
bar, was born in New Madison, Darke county, Ohio, May 8, 1853, and is a son
of Charles and Mary (Putman) Jaqua. Edwin S. was thirteen years of age when
he left his native county and came to Winchester and entered the office of
Charles Williamson, now of the "Big 4" railroad, and with him he remained
for five years; he next went to Burlington, Iowa, where for four years he
was employed as bookkeeper in a bank; next, he went to Cleveland, Iowa, in
1876, and had the superintendency of a large general store for four years,
and then returned to Winchester, and in 1881 engaged in the abstract and
loan business, and read law with Thompson & Marsh for two years, being, at
the expiration of that time, admitted to the bar. He at once formed a
partnership with J.W. Macy and J.P. Goodrich, which existed until 1891,
when Mr. Jaqua withdrew and opened an office on his sole account. His
ability has won for him a large clientage and he has met with a
remunerative success. In June, 1893, he formed a partnership with Mr. B.F.
Marsh.
        May 4, 1891, Mr. Jaqua was united in marriage with Miss Lulu
Clayton, who was born February 28, 1870, and who is a daughter of John W.
Clayton, president of the Farmers' & Citizens' bank, of Farmland, and Mary
(Wright) Clayton of whom a sketch will be found in this work. One little
stranger has come to bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jaqua, and he is called
John C. Mr. Jaqua has always manifested shrewd business qualities, and has
a natural aptitude for investment of funds. He has an interest in Farmers'
& Citizens' bank, of Farmland, as well as in the Bank of Portland, and has,
besides a cozy little farm of sixty-five acres near Huntsville, Randolph
county. In politics he is a republican, and has served his party as
secretary of the central county committee. He is equally as popular with
his brethren in the practice of law as with the public in general.
