"Jacob Reser, the father [of David M. Reser] learned the blacksmith's trade in early manhood, hich he followed as long as he was able to work, his sons attending to the work of the farm. He settled in Tippecanoe County with his family as before stated in 1836, the date of their arrival being November 28. They lived in Randolph Township about three years, and in the spring of 1840, Mr. Reser purchased a tract of land on section 32, Sheffield Township, consisting of 360 acres, all of which was prairie but eighty acres of timber land. The land was almost unimproved, but a log cabin had been built into which the family moved, and with the assistance of his sons Mr. Reser soon had a good farm on which he lived until his death in July, 1862. His wife had died at the homestead several years before. The humble log cabin was replaced by a fine substantial brick residence, before the death of the father, and the farm became one of the best in the neighborhood. Jacob Reser was a typical pioneer, honest, industrious and enterprising. In politics he was formerly a Whit, and later affiliated with the Republican party."
