Biography of Jacob Yoey, page 1027.  History of De Kalb County, Indiana.  
Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.

Jacob Yoey, farmer, section 13, Wilmington Township, was born in Summit 
County, Ohio, April 5, 1840.  His father, Isaac Yoey, was a native of 
Pennsylvania, but when a child was taken by his parents to Wayne County, 
Ohio.  Subsequently he settled in Summit County, and in 1848 moved to De 
Kalb County, Ind., and settled in Stafford Township, and about a year later 
moved to the farm where our subject now lives, where he died in 1857.  Mr. 
Yoey was reared on a pioneer farm and received his education in the old-
fashioned log-cabin school-house.  He began helping his father on the farm 
when a very small lad, and has experienced all the phases of pioneer life.  
His farm, which was entered by his father, is now under a good state of 
cultivation and is one of the best in the township.  Mr. Yoey was married 
May 26, 1861, to Sarah C., daughter of Joseph Killinger.  They have had two 
children, but one of whom is living---Frank, who was born April 1, 1867, and 
is now in school, fitting himself for a profession. Their daughter, Amanda 
E., died at the age of thirteen months.
