- JACOB HUNTSMAN
Another Pioneer Answers Last Call
Jacob Huntsman, a resident of this state since 1855 and early-day guid e o f Emigrant Parties, dies at home here.
Again the hand of death has been laid upon the rapidly-thinning rank s o f California pioneers, the latest to answer the inevitable summons be in g Jacob Huntsman, a native of Ohio, who passed away this morning at hi s h ome here. The decedent lacked but a few days of the age of four-scor e yea rs; his eightieth birthday falling on July 5th next. He leaves a wi dow an d seven children: James, John and Willis Huntsman and Mrs. Lorind a Holme s of Hollister, Mrs. Alice Hunt of Tree Pines, Mrs. Mary Stewar t of Arroy o Grande, California and William Huntsman of Millard County, U tah. Two br others survive the dead pioneer, Peter and Jesse Huntsman, bo th resident s of Utah. The former arrived here last week on a visit and w as present a t the final parting.
Jacob Huntsman was born in the state of Ohio, July 5, 1834. In 1855, th e n a youth of 22 years, he joined the tide of emigration then streamin g ac ross the plains to California. He drove an ox team and endured all o f th e hardships that menaced the path of the pioneer adventures. Arrivin g i n this State, he settled first at Watsonville, where he remained fo r fiv e or six years. The following years were passed in Southern Califor nia, i n the Counties of San Bernardino and Los Angeles, where he lived u ntil mo ving to Hollister eleven years ago. While living in San Bernardin o County , he married Martha Bickmore, the widow now left to mourn him.
During his life in the State, before his retirement on moving here, Mr . H untsman followed the occupation of ranching. Not continuously, howeve r, f or his was a life of varied experiences. Nine separate times after h is ar rival here; he crossed and re-crossed the continent as guide to emi gran t parties from the Eastern States. He learned the language and custo ms an d acquired and respect of the hostile Indians that menaced the safe ty o f the emigrant trains and his presence was often a hostage to the sa fet y of the persons under his escort.
It is related that a war party of redskins descended upon a train unde r h is guidance with the intention of utterly annilhating every person i n it . The Indians circled the wagons in war paint with bows strung and i t app eared as if nothing could prevent the massacre. Mr. Huntsman fearle ssly m ounted upon one of the wagons and commenced a language to the host ile chi efs in their own tongue with the result that they forbore in thei r deadl y purpose and moved away, the immigrants proceeding in safety.
