Elroy J. Kaub -- I can remember Grandpa telling about the time when he owned the farm a little south and 3 miles west of Centropolis. He paid $3.00 an acre for that farm, which was purchased before he married Ellenora Ford. This is now the Alfred Altic farm. Grandpa said that Indians came by the farm to trade for grain, now and then. Jacob and his oldest five children, including my father, Ernest, attended Kaub School. Jacob's daughter, Gertrude, was also a teacher at Kaub.
Jacob had dark hair and dark eyes. He was a small wiry man, only about 5'6", and was very energetic. Even when he was 84 yrs. old, he could take his grandchildren for a walk and they had trouble keeping up with him. He was never seriously ill through his long life until his death.
He was a hard worker and he earned a lot of money. He bought wild horses from western states, a carload at a time, broke them, and then sold them to make his fortune. At one time, he owned 64 sq. miles of land in Western Kansas. He traded some of the land for a very large house in Excelsior Springs, MO.

Jacob Kaub was born in Accident, Maryland August 14, 1853, and came to Kansas with the family of his father, John Kaub.

He was married to Miss Ellenora Ford of Lawrence April 6, 1865 (1879) and took his bride to a home prepared southwest of Centropolis.
Those were pioneer days; an Indian trail passed their door. Mr. Kaub sold the first load of wheat to what is now the Ross Mill, and traded in Ottawa when no bridge connected the north and south side. In early manhood he united with the Methodist church. In 1902 he moved his family to a new home in the Elm Grove community and helped build the Elm Grove church.
