HENRY J. JECKLIN, a young and progressive farmer of Dubuque Township, Dubuque County, has risen to a position in agricultural affairs, which many might envy. With his widowed mother, he makes a specialty of dairy farming, and in that industry is regarded as one of the most extensive and successful in the community.

Our subject was born in Switzerland, February 8, 1869, and is a son of John H. and Anna (Engel) Jecklin, both natives of Switzerland. The father came to the United States in 1868, and his wife and four children joined the following year in this country. After landing in New York City the family journeyed westward to this county and located in Dubuque Township, where the father was engaged at the trade or a carpenter. He was fairly well to do in this world's goods and left at, his decease a comfortable estate. His death occurred in 1890, at Colfax Springs, at the age of fifty-six years.

The family continued to reside on the old farm until 1891, when our subject, having attained his nineteenth year, took charge of the farm, which he disposed of that year at a good price and purchased the place where they are at present residing. The estate comprises two hundred valuable acres devoted to mixed farming, although he makes a specialty of dairying. He has on his place eighty-five milch cows, and with the assistance of his energetic mother has built up a fine business.

The parental family numbered five children, viz.: Henry J., of this sketch; Emily and Pauline (twins), John and Robert. Though not an active politician Mr. Jecklin votes the Democratic ticket and is a firm adherent of its principles. He is now nicely situated in life, is building up a good home and with his mother, brothers and sisters, has a host of warm personal friends in this community who are watching him with great interest and predict for him a still more successful future.
