ber. Mr.'Jacdbs is one of the original
pioneer residents of this town, having

home near Hyde Park, a dense bush
s'eparatin'g the village frees London..
One of his sisters was married. to

IJacolbs came at the age of sixteen
to learn the trade. Egm'oand'viile and
lhIarpusihey were flourishing villages,
hut there were not half a dozen fam-
ilies in Seaforth. Mr. Jacobs recalls
that there were the Watson, Duncan,
Stutz and possibly two other families,
living on the present site of Seaforth.
After serving four years' apprentice-
ship, Mr. Jacobs went into nbusiness
for himself. He leas at Bruoe'fietd a

During his many years lie occupied
eight different shops at various times.
He was first at .the north end of 'Main
