  An Old Settler Called Home 
  
  Jacob Sherbine, a resident of Jackson County for more than a half century, 
  died early Wednesday morning at the home of his son, George Sherbine, east of 
  Maquoketa. 
  
  Mr. Sherbine was born on February 1, 1826, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. 
  He left Pennsylvania in the Spring of 1855 and settled in Jackson County, 
  Iowa, where he has since resided. 
  
  Mrs. Sherbine preceded her husband to the grave, dying about one and a half 
  years ago.  Mr. Sherbine, although far advanced in years, was very active and 
  enjoyed good health until about ten days ago when stricken with paralysis. 
  From early childhood he had been a member of the M. E. Church and lived a true 
  Christian life. 
  
  Besides his son, one daughter, Mrs. Addie Young and one granddaughter survive. 
  Funeral services will be held from the home this afternoon at two o'clock. 
  Rev. J. J. Kidder will officiate.  Burial will be in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
