Jacob and his wife Margaretha lived near St. Joseph, WI. Their farm was next to the farm of Jacob's brother Christian. Jacob and Christian eventually exchanged farms because Christian had the larger farm and Jacob had the larger family.

In 1905 Jacob traveled to St. Peter's Colony in Muenster, Saskatchewan, Canada. Benedictines opened a colony, selling 160 acre parcels for $10. His sons Engelbert and Karl went also and they all lived together in a sod shack until they were able to build homes with lumber in 1906.

When Jacob died, his body was sent back to Wisconsin, accompanied by Karl and daughter Catherine.

In addition to being a farmer, Jacob was also a mason, bricklayer, and house painter.
