Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 168-169:
Jacob Eede, one of the largest land owners and most extensive farmers in the township of Colchester South, is a fine example of what can be accomplished by strict attention to business and a quick appreciation of opportunities for advancing in the world. He was born in Gosfield township, County of Essex, Oct. 3, 1841, son of George and Elizabeth (Arner) Eede.
     George Eede was a native of Sussex, England, born Jan. 21, 1812, son of Richard and Frances (Harrington) Eede. When twenty-one years of age he came to Canada, locating in Colchester township, County Essex, Ont. After a short interval he bought a farm of 100 acres in the fourth section, in Gosfield township, and was settled there for the greater part of his life. He accumulated considerable property, at one time owning 650 acres. His whole attention was devoted to farming and he reaped the natural harvest in the prosperity which followed his labors. He was a prominent and active Baptist, but his religious sympathies were broad, and he was interested in all work of that nature. It was while he was in attendance at the dedication of the Harrow Baptist Church that he was stricken with apoplexy, and he died before he could be moved from the church. He was sixty-four years of age. His wife in her maidenhood was Miss Elizabeth Arner, daughter of Jacob Arner of Gosfield township, who belonged to one of the U. E. Loyalist families. To their union were born children as follows: Fannie (deceased), wife of Richard McLean, of Gosfield; Jacob; Mary Ann, late wife of Jonas Wigle; Richard, who married Belle Ritchie, and lives in Lot 31, Gosfield township; Charles, in the wood and coal business in Ballston Spa, New York; John, who died at the age of five years; George, who married Miss Emily Fox, and resides on the homestead in Gosfield township; Henry, of Leamington, who married Miss Nettie Askew; Edmond, unmarried, for many years a practicing physician in Detroit, Michigan; Elizabeth, who died when nine years old; Thomas, for some years a physician in Leamington, who married Kate Cousins; and William, who died at the age of fifteen.
     The Arner family, to which Mrs. George Eede belonged, was of German origin. Jacob Arner, her grandfather, was born in Pennsylvania, of German parents. As a mere boy he was forced into the American army, but being loyal to his king he escaped when the army was near the Canadian border, and in time made his way to the County of Essex, settling in Gosfield township, where he was given 200 acres of land as a reward for his loyalty. Adjoining this he purchased another 200 acres, making 400 acres in one tract in the southwestern part of the township, along the lake shore. During his lifetime the greater part of this land was cleared and converted into farm land. He married Barbara Arnold, who was born in Germany, but as a child was brought by her parents to America, her mother, however, dying on the voyage. Mr. Arner and his children made their home in Sandwich. To Jacob and Barbara Arner were born: John, who died young; Jacob; Susan, who married John Whittle, of Gosfield; Magdalene, who married (first) a Mr. Blakely, and (second) a Mr. West, of County Kent; Elizabeth, who married Joseph Julian, of County Kent; and Mary, who married Henry Huffman, of Colchester township.
     Jacob Arner, son of Jacob and father of Mrs. Elizabeth (Arner) Eede, was born on the Gosfield township farm Dec. 3, 1793. As a boy he made his home with an uncle, a Mr. Arner, but in time he came into possession of the homestead, and he proved himself a most progressive and business-like man. He added to his acreage until he owned some 800 acres. The home is now owned by Miss Eliza Arner. Jacob Arner died on the homestead March 20, 1838. In Colchester he married Susan Iler, who was born June 27, 1797, daughter of Jacob Iler; and died Dec. 17, 1896, aged ninety-nine years, five months and twenty days. The children born to this union were as follows: Elizabeth, born May 29, 1819, is the widow of George Eede, of Gosfield, and the mother of Jacob Eede, mentioned below; John, born June 5, 1821, resided on the homestead, and died Dec. 19, 1886; Jacob, born July 15, 1823, lives near Kingsville; Barbara, born Nov. 3, 1825, married William Staddon, of Gosfield, and died Sept. 26, 1894; Lewis, born Nov. 6, 1828, is a wealthy farmer in Malden township; Mary, born March 10, 1831, married William C. Mickle, and lived for many years in Malden township; Susan, born Nov. 3, 1833, is the widow of Robert McLean, of Harrow; and Henry, born March 18, 1836, is living retired in Kingsville.
     Jacob Eede grew up on the home farm in the township of Gosfield South, and, as he was the eldest son his father naturally depended on him for much assistance. He remained at home until he reached his majority, and then was given 100 acres of bush land in Lot B, Concession 2, by his father, where he settled down to make his own way in the world. Later he bought 200 acres more of wild land, adjoining his first tract, and managed this large place until 1880. Very little of the land had been cleared when it came into his possession, but by persistent industry, well directed, he had brought the property into a fine state of cultivation, and most of it is still in his possession.
     In 1880 Mr. Eede rented his Gosfield farm and went to Colchester South, where he purchased from Judson Patton a tract of 200 acre, originally settled by John Cornwall. The first schoolhouse in that region was built on this property. This land was all cleared, but Mr. Eede has added many improvements and made a fine place of it. When he bought this land he agreed to pay $11,000 for it and was obliged to borrow $3000 to a make a payment. The popular idea was that he would never be able to rid the place of this heavy encumbrance, but his close application to his work, and his excellent business management of his affairs, have won him success, and proven false all prophecies of failure. He has been a lifelong farmer; one line to which he has given especial attention is the raising of hogs, and he sends 150 to 180 to market every year.
     On Aug. 8, 1864, Mr. Eede married Miss Mary Wigle, a daughter of Leonard Wigle, who has borne her husband a large family, viz.: Elizabeth, wife of George Water, of Colchester South; Eli, who died in 1892 at the age of twenty-five years; Leonard, owner of the farm adjoining his father's, who married Miss Mabel Atkin, of Colchester South, and has two children, Edmond Byron and Ruby; George, who has charge of the home place; Jacob, who was graduated from the Detroit Medical College, and is a farmer, practicing physician and vice-president of a national bank in Harvey, North Dakota; Nellie, Fannie and Martha, all at home; and Ellis, who died in 1902, aged nineteen.
     In politics Mr. Eede is a supporter of the policy of the Reform party, but he has always been too busy to accept public office. His religious affiliations are with the Baptist Church in Harrow, in which he has served as a deacon, and he is an influential member. He has always been a hard worker, and has achieved his present position by the exercise of qualities which have earned him the respect of the community.
