Sieber, Jacob (12 NOV 1846 – 26 JAN 1891)
Died, at Butte City, Mon., Jan. 26, 1891, of a complication of lung fever and pneumonia, Jacob Sieber, in the 45th years of his age.
Jacob Sieber was born at Frau Brunen, Canton Berne, in Switzerland, Nov. 12, 1846. He immigrated to this country with his parents in 1855. Although a very young man when the war broke out, he enlisted at the earliest opportunity in Co. H. 3rd Reg., Wis. Inf., and remained in the service until the close of the war, Aug. 1865.
In 1868 he was married to Miss Barbara Diedrick who, with ten children, survives him. He moved to Colby, Clark Co., Wis. in 1878, purchasing a farm about three miles southwest of the village, where his family has since resided. During his residence here he has been a member of the school board in his district, was elected to the town board several times, serving as chairman two years. For two years he filled the office of town Treasurer. He was an ideal citizen. His habits were of the best, and no man in the town was more popular than he. His mental habits were slow, but sure. His action was the outgrowth of deep thought. Naturally conservative, his conduct in public office was for the best interests of the people that he served, and no man more jealously guarded their rights. His honesty was above suspicion, and all the elements of his character were such as to make him highly respected by those who knew him. He was faithful in the discharge of every duty imposed, whether public or private.
Jacob Sieber immigrated in 1855 at 9 years of age to the United States from Germany with his mother Anna Maria Kaderli, his step father Niklaus Sieber (his father Jackob, brother of Niklaus, had died in 1847), his sibling Johann(9) and his half siblings Rudolph(6) and Anna Maria(2). A new half sister Lucy was born in New York in 1955 on their way. The family first settled in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Johann died in 1863. Anna Maria married Henry Matthias in 1871 and lived in Sheboygan and later moved to Liberty, Manitowoc County. Rudolph moved to Michigan by 1870, and later to Montana and San Diego, California. What happened to Lucy is not known. Jacob served in the Civil War. After the war he married Anna Barbara Diedrick in 1868. The couple lived in Sheboygan until 1878, during which time they had seven children. In 1878 they moved to Colby, Clark County, Wisconsin. There the couple had three more children, but three of the children died. About 1898, Jacob went to visit his brother Rudolph who was living in Silver Bow, Montana. This is where he died.
The news of his death was received with extreme sorrow by his friends and associates, who now tender their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
The funeral, which was very large, occurred Sunday from the Lutheran Church, of which the deceased was a member, Rev. Jos. Fiehler officiating. After the services the Son of Herman and G. A. R. Societies took charge of the remains and conducted the rites at the cemetery.
