   JACOB W. GASSMAN, clerk, Findlay, was born in Eppingen, Baden, March 7, 1845,
son of William and Catherine Haasinger Gassman, who came to this country in
1848, the former of whom, a baker by trade, left his native country in
consequence of the Revolution there, that he might enjoy his liberty in free
America. William Gassman removed from Seneca County, Ohio, to Findlay, where he
at present resides. Of his three sons and two daughters, Elizabeth is the wife
of M. B. Weaver, of Valley Falls, Kas.; Emanuel and Daniel (twins) are invalids,
and only Jacob W., who is the eldest, and Lena, the youngest, are now living at
home. Upon the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion Jacob W. Gassman
enlisted in Company A, Sixty-fifth Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry, and did
active and honorable service for over three years. He was wounded at the battle
near Petersburg, Va., and after receiving an honorable discharge returned home
and enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Ninety-eighth Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, serving two months. Mr. Gassman is a worthy citizen and an exemplary
son, and since his father's health failed has taken entire charge of the
family's support, and has attended to the necessities of his invalid brothers.
He is a member of Stoner Post, G. A. R.
