We have been looking for Jacob, also..

Jacob Graef was born about 1865 to George and Katherine Graef

 

We think he was a free spirit... Not willing to settle down..

We know Jacob married Emma Skroble..

and then they separated   don't know the dates of marriage and separation

They had a daughter Clara Graef ....

 

But then ..Jacob left Iowa around 1908.. with his daughter Clara for Oklahoma  along with  George Graef (his father) and Peter ( Brother)  

They appear in a 1910  census for 4-ward Chickasaw , Grady, Oklahoma

 

Eventualy George, Peter and Clara return to Iowa

Peter got Clara pregnant  and they have two children  (Charles and Fred ) while in Oklahoma.. 

 

We don't know anything about Jacob's life after his separation from Emma

He could have stayed in OK and remarried  and would  have been about 45 yrs old when he stated his life in Oklahoma.

.

Is Chickasaw , Grady, Oklahoma   near Pauls Valley Oklahoma ?

 

Do you know how old Jacob was when he married Lille Burns?

Did they have children ?

Did he stay with her.?  If  so he might be burried some where in the area ?

 

If you have more information about Peter and Jacob while in Oklahoma would appreciate hearing more about their life stories

 

I have a web site for Graef Family History...

 

take a look at it ... http://graef-family.blogspot.com/

 

 Brenda thanks for contactng me

Hello, My name is Brenda Ridgway.  I have been looking for Jacob Graef, brother to Peter.  He married my step dads grandmother Lillie Burns (Stahl was her maiden name) 12DEC1910 In Pauls Valley Oklahoma.  We had found a few things on Jacob and Peter here in Okla.  Do you by any chance know where Jacob is buried?  Any info would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Brenda
