He ended up in his early 20's looking for work at the Philadelphia employment agency. Dan Harker, farmer from Elmer, NJ, went there for help. Jacob went with him and learned farming.
Helen's father, John Kugler, got acquainted with Jacob through a lodge. After lodge meetings they would go to the Albright's house in Glassboro, NJ.
