  • Notes 
    • Jacob C. Vogel was raised and attended school in Clear Creek Township, Keokuk County, Iowa. When he was old enough to work he worked for farmers in the area until about 1907, or about 21 years old, he migrated to the area of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. The reason he and other area farmers went to Canada was because some of the neighboring farmers had gone to the Seattle Worlds Fair and saw
      promotions of homesteading in Canada and came back to Iowa with the news.
      Jacob and his brother Andrew went out together and each aquired a farm. Jacob's farm was legally described as N. W. 1/4 23-45-4W, which consisted of 160 acres. There was a two story house on this land besides a row of lovely spruce trees. Jacob was a thresherman, owning an Avery Steam Engine, one of the biggest of its kind at that time. He, also, bought the threshing machine in 1909. With this
      threshing machine, he did custom work for many of the local farmers. The crew totalled twenty men at a time, several men were needed to keep the steam engine at full steam, so it must have been a busy time.
      Jacob went to Iowa for Christmas in 1910 where he became better aquainted with Anna Hammes, whom he had known earlier but was not serious. They got married on February 22, 1911 and went back to Canada with intentions of only staying a year, however it was 1916 before they came back to Iowa.
      Jacob would haul grain into Wetaskiwin with two wagons, one had a team of horses, the other a team of mules. When the grain was unloaded, the team of mules would be turned loose, and they would find their way home by themselves.
      An interesting incident happened in the fall of 1915, Jacob had done some threshing on the east side of Battle River using the Gould crossing. It was late in the season, and snow had covered the roads. The road from the Gould Crossing was steep and winding and Jacob decided to chain the back wheels of the threshing machine so it would not go down the hill so fast, but alas! as with many a plan, it did not work and when he started down the hill the threshing machine upset over the bank. Jacob left it there until spring, and then took it apart, and hauled it home and put it back together again. He soldit at his auction sale in 1916. The steam engine was purchased by Dick Humbke who used it for many years. This same steam engine did have its trials too. Fritz Humbke tells how one time they were crossing the Haultain Lake on the road, the grade was very soft, it gave away, and the steam engine upset on its
      side. After several days hard work it was righted and continued on its way. This steam engine was eventually dismantled.
      Jacob, Anna and their two sons Alvin and Ralph moved back to Iowa and purchased a farm near Derby in Lucas County where they lived for about four years. In 1920 they sold that farm and purchased another farm five miles south and one mile west of Chariton, Lucas County, Iowa where they remained until Jacob passed away at the age of 48 years 3 months and 5 days.
