Mrs. Jacks was one of the few remaining old pioneers of this section of California.
She was born in Oajaca, Mexico in 1838, her maiden name being Maria Cristina Soledad Romie, the daughter of J.F. and Maria A. Frohm Romie, native of Germany, who settled in Mexico in 1834, and who came to Monterey in 1841.
As a child she attended the school of Dona Anita Castanares, being taught to read and write Spanish. When nine years old, in 1846, Mrs. Jacks was present when the American flag was raised, and could give many interesting accounts of this famous occurrence.
Mrs. Jacks, having been born and raised in a country where Spanish was the only language, was a fine Spanish scholar, and it is told that in 1859, when she went to school in Santa Clara, she would have to think in Spanish and mentally translate her thought and express them into English.
Besides Spanish and English, Mrs. Jacks could also speak German, the tongue of her parents.
On April 20, 1861, she married the late David Jacks in San Luis Obispo, and resided in Monterey until she moved to San Francisco a few years ago.
