NORTHWEST DEAD
Jacob Pfau

Salem, May 4. - Jacob Pfau, who died very suddenly at his home in North Salem, 
Saturday night, was a pioneer of 1853. He was a native of Germany, though of 
French ancestry, and was born April 18, 1819, being 83 years of age at his 
death. He came to the United States in 1847, settling in Illinois, but he soon 
emigrated to California. After spending a few years in the California gold 
fields, he came to Portland, in 1853, where he lived until 1862, when he 
removed to this city and purchased a large farm near Rickreall, Polk County, 
where he lived until 1893, when he came to Salem and resided until his death.

On December 5, 1866, he married Mrs. Nancy J. Taylor, who crossed the plains 
from Illinois in 1862. He is survived by a widow and two daughters, Mrs. C.W. 
Stump, and Mrs. M.I. Capps, both of Salem. Burial services will be conducted 
at Rickreall on Monday.
