J. Myron Shimer wrote this narrative for the beginning of The History and Genealogy of the Shimer Family in America: Volume V, 1931. At that time, he was the President of the Shimer Family Association, holding that position since 1928. It is a well written and enjoyable narrative that pieces together all the difference pieces of Jacob Scheimer's life and gives insight into the challenges he faced in Early America. It's also interesting to note the authors observation's at the end. He notes the significance of Jacob Scheimer's life, not just as the patriarch of much of our family but as a founder of our country.
