PICTORAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS Jacob and Barbara Pletcher moved to Elkhart County IN in 1852 according to this source: "...Samuel and Elizabeth (Reed) Pletcher, the former of whom was a Pennsylvanian, and a son of Jacob and Barbara (N) Pletcher. Samuel was one year old when taken to Ohio, and in 1852 became a resident of Elkhart County IN." Notes on children taken from Military records and from Family Group Sheet by Edna Borger, of Elkhart County HERALD OF TRUTH (Mennonit e Newpaper from Mennonite Historical Library, Goshen, IN, Obituary notice of Jacob and Barbara Pletcher): "On the 13th of October, in Elkhart County IN, JACOB PLETCHER, aged 80 years, 7 months and 2 days. Funeral services by J. Nusbaum, Eli M ishler, S. Yoder and D. Brenneman, from Rom. 4:8. Also Oct 26th, BARBARA PLETCHER, consort of above, aged 72 years, 10 months, and 1 day. Funeral services by Jacob Wisler and D. Brenneman, from Rev. 14: 13. There whole posterity consists of 1 7 children, 100 grandchildren, and 33 great grand-children. The aged father and mother have for many years been faithful members of the Mennonite church. So eager has been their desire after the bread and water of life, and so earnest have th ey been in their efforts to serve God to the end, that feeble old age did not restrain them from attending the service of God in the sanctuary. May have doubtless been encouraged to faithfulness by their example. The mind of the true worshippe r in the sanctuary has been elevated and prompted to bless God at the entrance of the aged father and brother with a staff in each hand, assisted by kind friends, and followed by the aged sister, whose bodily form was bowed down in such a manne r that she " could in no wise lift up herself." One glimpse of the aged mother would naturally lead the mind of the Bible student to think of the daughter of Abraham who was bound and bowed down for eighteen years, and in a miraculous manner wa s loosed, and made straight, by the power of the Savior. Many relatives and friends followed their bodily remains to their last resting place.
Go weary pilgrims to your rest, In desert lands no longer roam, "Come," says the Savior, "come ye blest, Into the joys of heaven, your home." D. Brenneman" Information on children taken reord, information from Howard Pletcher. Jacob Sr. was called "Big Yake". "Born Mar 11, 1790 Big Valley, Huntington County PA. Moved with his father's family below Beech Creek, Center County, PA. about 1804-05. In Center County he mar ried Barbara Nestlerode. From Center County, he moved to Crawford County OH. After being residents of Crawford County OH for 30 years, Jacob and Barbara disposed of their Ohio interests and followed their sons and in-law families to Elkhart Cou nty IN" "In the Mennonite migration during the late 1840's and early 1850's were the Jacob and Barbara Nestleroad family. Jacob and Barbara now making their home with their newly married son John and Christina's family purchased the ancestra l Pletcher farm on the NW corner of IN St. Rd. 19 and Elk. County Rd. #32 Berkey Ave in 1853...The present home was built in 1867 and the large bank slate roof barn in 1890. The family patriarch Jacob's homestead is now a centennial farm owne d by Clifford and Lucille Pletcher Wenger, Lucille being a great-great granddaughter of Jacob and Barbara..." "All children of Jacob and Barbara were married in OH but Polly (Pletcher) Clipp"

Jacob Pletcher joined the Civil War on Aug. 22, 1862, in Co. D in 100th Reg. Indiana Volunteers. Being of the Mennonite faith, his family were against his going. He was in the process of building a barn, and had to leave half way thru, accordi ng to family stories. This left Cyrene to finish the job. Jacob served for 15 months. He became ill in Sept. 1863 with typhoid fever at Black River, 18 miles from Vicksburg, and was sent to Memphis, Tenn. where he died on Nov. 11, 1863. Artic le by Devon Rose tells this story of Pletcher's: "Approximately 100 years ago, a man with the last name of Pletcher lived at the same location where Rose does now. It is documented that in 1863 Pletcher was summoned to fight in the Civil War . Because his wife was pregnant, he did not want to leave her and he paid someone to go in his place. Later that same year, Pletcher began building a large barn on his farmland. After his wife had their child, Pletcher did fight in the Civi l War. Why Pletcher never returned has not been documented. Mrs. Pletcher finished the barn. From that barn made of walnut came the expensive elegant wood that Rose now uses to make each custom piece of doll furniture on display in the gift s hop area ---Birds Eye View, Wakarusa" "ENLISTMENT RECORD" Jacob Pletcher, enrolled as a Private of Company D, 100th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers at Fort Wayne, IN on 22nd day of Aug. 1862 by Capt. Johnson, and he was mustered into the militar y at Indianapolis, IN on the 10th day of Sept. 1862, for the term of three years by Capt. Miller. Age: 38, Eyes: Hazel, Hair: Brown, Height: 5 ft., 9 1/2 inches, Complexion: Light, Nativity: Ohio, Occupation: Farmer, Died at Memphis, Tenn. on N ov. 11, 1863.

A Civil War Letter From: algrames@stlnet.com (Art & Linda Grames)

Jacob Pletcher was attached to Company D of the 100th Regiment Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War. I don't know what date he enlisted, or the year of the letter (probably 1863). I only know he died of malaria while still in the service. Following is a transcribed copy of the letter (I have retained spelling, lack of punctuation and capitalization exactly as written. Often, but not always, he would capitalize words at the beginning of a line, whether it was the beginning of a sentence or not):
