Census Records have Adolph and Frances immigrating in 1854. In 1857 Frances came to Grand Rapids, met and married Joseph, who was a prominent businessman. The 1870 Federal Census has their last name spelled Jacobvia. She left the family their mother's bible; a small book written in German, probably used at her wedding. According to her obituary, she had a total of 10 children. Frances was part owner of "The Rasch House," an early Grand Rapids hostelry. The hotel was located in an area described as Germantown because of the Germans dominating the scene. She died of cancer at the age of 78.Spouse: Joseph Jackoboice (picture) Birth Date: March 16, 1824 Birth Place: Town Of Kalisz On Prussian-Polish Border Religion: R.

Calvary Cemetery, Grand Rapids, MichiganSpouse Notes: Immigrated from Poland (in 1844) via Germany (in 1852) to America. Lived in New York City for 2.5 years, then journeyed to Grand Rapids in 1854. He became the first Polish immigrant to settle in the city of Grand Rapids in 1855. In 1855/56 Joseph began working as a machinist for others. In 1860 he opened his first machine shop, on Mill Street. It was one of the first machine shops in Grand Rapids. In 1862 he moved the operation to the "Germantown" district around Canal and E. Bridge streets. He manufactured steam engines, fire escapes, sawmill machines and woodworking machines. He had several successive shops in the downtown area. In 1880 he founded the West Side Iron Works and continued manufacturing a variety of machines until his retirement in 1895 (died in 1899). Joseph's son Edward Joseph maintained the family business as the West Side Iron Works until 1921, then as the Edward J. Jackoboice Company until 1931, then as the Monarch Road Machinery Company until his death in 1935 (and beyond). The family business changed its name again in 1983 to Monarch Hydraulics, Inc. The family of Joseph and Frances Jackoboice flourished at their residence on Broadway Ave., N.W., where later the Convent of St. Mary's Church would be built. They were charter members of the pioneer Catholic parish.

Calvary Cemetery, Grand Rapids, Michigan Father: Joseph Jackoboice (1824-1899) Mother: Frances Rasch (1833-1912)Notes: Edward Joseph and his father Joseph manufactured numerous machines for sawmills, furniture companies and others. Joseph invented a lumber-recording device. Edward Joseph co-patented a sanding machine and a glue-jointing machine. Edward worked with his father at the West Side Iron Works from 1880 until Joseph's retirement in 1895. Edward built a steam-powered boat, and later a steam-powered automobile (in 1897, said to be the fourth car in Grand Rapids). Edward transitioned out of the manufacture of woodworking machines. In 1921 he sold the West Side Iron Works business to the Chicago Machinery Exchange. In 1922 he founded the Edward J. Jackoboice Company and focused on the manufacture of road maintenance machinery, mainly road grader "road scraper" blades with early hydraulics (eventually developing a reversible blade). This type of machinery, which revolutionized the maintenance of dirt and gravel roads, is used across America. In 1931 Edward Joseph's two sons, Edward William and George A. Jackoboice, joined the family business and renamed it the Monarch Road Machinery Company. In Edward Joseph's final leisure years, he likely continued enjoying travel, hunting and fishing. He passed away in 1935.

She traveled to Germany in the early 1930's, visited the village of Obersdorf, was shown the house in which the family lived, then taken to the local parish church and shown letters the "Rasch brothers" had written to the church asking for prayers as they had never been to sea and were afraid of the long voyage to America. The 1910 Federal Census has her still living in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her aged widowed mother. In the 1920 Federal Census Clare was listed as a lodger in a Los Angeles hotel. Helen [Gast] Jackoboice remembers her Aunt Clara this way: "She was a world traveler. She went with a pretty high class group of older ladies. They were wonderful." Clara remembered the day that they were listening to the radio with reports of getting into the War. Aunt Clara told everyone how poor everyone was in those other countries. Helen said it was so sad that Aunt Clara's eye sight was so poor. "She could have written many books on all of this. Aunt Clara lived in a hotel in California."Research: 8 14 20 33 69 70 79 85 99----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2.7 George Albert Jackoboice ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Birth Date: April 8, 1874 Birth Place: Grand Rapids, Michigan Death Date: August 14, 1892 Death Place: Grand Rapids, Michigan Burial Place: Mt.
