Does anyone out there have access to this book? I am interested in the biographies of B. E. Jewell, pg 46, Frank Jewell, pg. 50, & J. A. Jewell, pg. 49. I understand there was also a book printed including Winneshiek & Allamakee Counties in the 1880's, I would also be interested in any Jewell biographies in that book. I am trying to find info on the man who was responsible for the stabbing murder of one of my ancestors in 1869, & believe one of these might lead me in the right direction. Thanks so much to anyone who may be able to help! Lana Piché Saskatchewan, Canada

Most public libraries provide free access to Heritage Quest if you are a library cardholder. Heritage Quest is a subscription for genealogy materials, census records, and books in print. If the Past & Present of Winneshiek County has been published, it's probably available at Heritage Quest. If you have access to a local public library of some size, then you can probably get this bio at no charge. Hope this helps.

Lana - You might check the court records in the county where your ancestor was killed to read an account of a trial to see if the information you're looking for is answered here. juanita Does anyone out there have access to this book?

I have the 1882 History of Winneshiek & Allamakee Counties and it has a bio for a Jacob Jewell on P. 597. It is short, so I've typed it below. _____________________________________ Jacob Jewell, Sec. 9, Decorah tp.: P. O Decorah; farmer and stock riser; son of Elihu and Anna Wymer Jewell, was born November 4th, 1825 in Knox County, Ohio, where his boyhood was spent alternately at the district school winters, and on the farm summers. He married Miss Emily Headington February 27, 1849, and the following spring moved to Wyandotte Co., where he was engaged in farming until the spring of 1850; he sold out, and started for the west, locating about two miles above where he now lives, remaining there a few years until he purchased 320 acres where he now resides. The land joins the corporation of West Decorah on the north. He owns altogether 914 acres, being mostly located on the Upper Iowa river bottom, making it one of the most desirable farms in the Co. for raising of stock, in which he is especially engaged, having some of the finest in the Co. Mr. J. is one of the live, energetic and successful farmers of the Co.; he has served as a member of the board of supervisors of Winneshiek Co. His children are Benjamin A., John A., and Frank. He has lost two by death, Thomas N. and James W. _____________________________________ Your B. E. could Benjamin A. I hope this helps you. Grace > Does anyone out there have access to this book?
