Biography
Jacob Rimer was born in 1783 in Pennsylvania, United States.[1][2]
He married Elizabeth Hilliard.
Jacob and Elizabeth (Hilliard) Rimer, were born, reared and married in Northampton County, Penn. On coming to Clarion County, they located on the present site of the town of Rimersburg, which was named in honor of Jacob. Here he took up 300 acres of land, which he divided into town lots and subsequently sold at one dollar per lot. He then removed to a farm in Toby Township, a mile and a half from Rimersburg, on the Callensburg road, where he made his home until his death. His remains were interred by the side of those of his wife in the Churchville Cemetery in Clarion County. Christian and Betsy (Sarah Ann) Shick were natives of Northampton County, and came with the Rimer family on their removal to Clarion County, where they died, being buried in the Oak Ridge Cemetery. They were consistent members of the German Reformed Church.
