Generation
1 J.C. EDELMAN, one of the best known men in Boone county died at his home in Peytona last week at the age of 84 years. He was well known among the elder inhabitants of Charleston and was a frequent visitor to the city up to about a year ago since which time his health failed gradually until his death. He suffered from complications incident to advanced age. He immigrated to the United States in 1847 when he was twelve years of age. He first settled in Maryland and after living there for two years he moved to North Carolina. There he studied Engineering, which was to Be of success in life. Seven years later he obtained employment on a steam boat coming to West Virginia. The boat docked at Peytona, West Virginia in approximately 1856. This is when he was to meet and marry Letha Snodgrass, born 1841, died 1923. Their first child was born in 1860, Jacob C., Jr. In 1861 while still working on the steamboat the war between the states broke out. This provided an opportunity to make more money by the grinding of grain for the Confederate soldiers. He was arrested by Union Soldiers in 1863 at the old mill chimney and put in jail in the little Red Church on the hill in Brownstown, now called Marmet, for three days. Jacob, not being a naturalized citizen, pleaded for foreign protection. He was quickly released but his body was covered with lice. He was happy here and became a United States Citizen. Mr. Edleman was one of the most influential men in Boone County politics in his earlier life. He served two terms as the representative of that county in the House of Delegates in the nineties. Previous to that time he was County Commissioner and held other offices of trust. He was a trustee of schools for several years, postmaster at the Peytona Post Office, and Land Agent. He was a lifelong Democrat. Although a native of Germany, Mr. Edelman renounced his allegiance to the Government of the Fatherland early in life and his loyalty to the United States has never since she declared war on the country of his nativity, been questioned. He often expressed a wish in the days of his declining health, that he might be spared to see American arms triumph over Prussian militarism. Besides his wife, Mr. Edleman was survived by three sons, Jacob C., Jr., Jordan G., John William. Three daughters, Mrs. Bertha Smith, Mrs. Virginia Bolin and Mrs. Carrie Long. Mr. Edelman died May 17, 1918 never knowing what happened to his brother or sisters that came to the United States with him or what happened to his parents left at home in Germany."

More About Jacob Conrad Edelman(n)
We
are trying to track the Edelman(n)
line. In particular, one of the blocks we keep running into is finding the
exact details on Jacob C.
Edelmann's entry into the USA. It was supposed to be 1847. There are
history books and other records that seem to confirm this but we have found no
specific records (such as naturalization or immigration papers) to substantiate
details about his arrival nor do we have detailed information on who he arrived
with. Jump to the full Edelman(n) Genealogy Report for details and source listings. |
