REV. J.W. SAID, Sec. 36; P.O. Iron Hills; was born in Farmer's Creek Township, Jackson Co., Iowa, in 1841; his father, Nathan Said, a native of Kentucky, was born near Warsaw in 1811, and, when 18 years of age, went to Wisconsin and married, at White Oak Springs, Miss Cathrine[sic] White, a native of Virginia, born in 1815. He was a soldier in active service during the Black Hawk war, and, at its close, emigrated to Iowa, and settled in Jackson Co. Oct. 28.* J.W. Said, the subject of this sketch, married Miss Esther Dutton, of Farmer's Creek Township, Jackson Co.; she was born in Carthage, Ill., Aug. 7, 1845; they have three children - Alice F., Emory W. and Eliakim. During the war of the rebellion, Mr. S. enlisted in Co. F, 69th I.V.I., in which regiment he served three months, at the expiration of which time he enlisted in Co. A, 45th I.V.I., and served until the close of the war, and was honorably discharged. He was licensed minister of the Second Advent Church in 1871, and was ordained in 1873, since which time he has had pastoral charges in various places in Jackson Co. In politics, Mr. Said is a Democrat. Nathan Said's family were James H. (who served in the Second Iowa Cavalry during the rebellion, is married and resides in Farmer's Creek Township), Mary Jane (married E.W. Cook; he was a soldier in the 69th I.V.I. during the war), Rev. J.W. Said (whose name heads this sketch), Charles W. (was a soldier in Co. A, 45th I.V.I., died in the service at Bonaparte, N.C., Merinda E. (married Charles Scripture). - 1879 History of Jackson County Iowa, pg. 762.
* I believe this was meant to indicate that he married Esther Dutton on Oct. 28, 1865.
