Mentions JOBE family of Nodaway Co. as well as my lineage. JL - ----------------------------- "BALLS USED IN BLACK HAWK WAR - A.N. Leiby came to the office the other day with two lead balls or bullets that were used in the Black Hawk War in which I.S. Jobe, grandfather to Uncle Gus Jobe fought. They were called "Minnie Ball" and were slightly over a fourth inch in diameter. Mr. Leiby tells the following story about how he secured them: "During the Black Hawk war, back in Stephens county Illinois, at a place called Waddams Grove, two men were killed by Indians, who buried them in the sand nearby. Years later, some of this sand was used in erecting a memorial. The remains of the two men were found here and were removed to the monument. Thirty six of these Minnie Balls were found, evidently having been in the pockets of these men when they were killed. I was present at the disinterment and got two of the balls as souvenirs as well as a bit of the blanket in which the men were buried. The piece of blanket has since been lost.

The I. S. Jobe Is Iraby Stone Jobe. 1832 Iraby walked to McDonough County, Illinois, to the home of his brother William and enlisted in Captain J. W. Stephenson's Company, to fight in the Blackhawk War. He was wounded twice, in the groin and in the arm, and went to New Orleans to recover. 1844 Feb. 3, Iraby bought 79.98 acres in Stephenson County for $99.98. 1845 June 24, Iraby bought 38.69 acres in Stephenson County for $48.36. 1846 May 19, Iraby bought 40 acres in Stephenson County for $50. 1846 May 19, He also bought 60.22 acres in Stephenson County for $75.28. 1848 Feb. 14, Iraby bought 10 acres in Stephenson County for $60. 1850 Iraby and family were listed in the Buckeye, Stephenson County, Illinois, census. 1856 Iraby and family moved to Andrew County, Missouri. 1860 Iraby and family were listed in the Nodaway County, Missouri, census, which was formed from Andrews County in 1841. 1870 Iraby and family were listed in the Grant Township, Nodaway County, Missouri, census. 1880 Iraby, 66, and family were listed in the Grant Township, Nodaway County, Missouri, census with Mary 66, James P. Blakely 26, Mary M. Mathers 7/12, and Carrie A. Jobe 11/12. 1897 Iraby was buried in Barnard City Cemetery, Nodaway County, Missouri. His tombstone inscription says, "GONE HOME". I haven't figured out who Uncle Gus is yet. Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: Freida Wells <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 12:10 AM Subject: I.S.
