So we know Jacob was deceased before 1915, when this was written. Jacob appears in none of the census records, so we can also assume he died before he was 10 years old. He is likely buried in the Turbotville Cemetery - I should be able to find record of him there

1882 - Daughter Harriet Travels to Ohio to visit sister Ella Hagerman
Sometime in 1882, before Christmas, the youngest child of Mahlon & Catherine (Weidman) Hagerman traveled to Findlay Ohio to stay with her sister Susan "Ella" (Hagerman) Wyman. While there she apparently met Clayton Ford on at least two occasions. Harriet would have been around 29 years old when she made the trip, and we know from her letters that she stayed for 14 months. Ella had given birth in July of 1881, to a daughter named Jessie, who would die a short time later, in September of 1883. It seems likely that Harrriet traveled out to help her sister with the new baby, but I do not know if the child was ill, or died suddenly, or which 14 months Harriet was there.
1885 Daughter Harriet Hagerman is courted by Clayton Ford, through mail.
It is not until September of 1885 that the letters begin. Even if her 14 month stay began in December of 1882 and lasted until February of 1884 (and I do not know that those dates are true - December of 1882 could easily have been the last of her 14 month stay, not the beginning, or it could have been the middle) that would leave almost a year and half before the letters begin.
Another researcher kindly mailed me copies of these letters, this is her email to me: "What I have is about 15-20 letters written between Clayton and Harriet. They aren't really my letters. They belong to my cousin. He had given me several bins of family history items to make copies of, and these letters were included in those bins. I know his Grandmother, Mildred (Moore) Cole had them at one time, and they have been passed down. I don't know how Mildred obtained them. Are there any Moores, Ewings, or Coles in this family line? I just haven't been able to find any family connection. Anyhow, these letters are written from 1885 thru 1887, when Hattie lived in Comly, PA and Clayton lived in Findlay. It was obviously a courtship through the mail situation. "
Comly Pa does not appear on google maps, however, there is a Comly road leading out of Turbotville, to the area of the Hagerman farms, where the Hagerman farm was located.
I have all of the letters transcribed online here -
1885/1886
We learn from Harriet's letters to Clayton that one of her brothers broke a limb
Comly Pa June 11 1886
Dear Friend
This pleasant evening I'll try to answer your long letter that I received some time ago and was glad to hear that your health is good, and what a blessing it is to have good health. My health is tolerable good but I work to hard for my strength. I must tell you that we had company this afternoon, my Brother, that one that had his lim broken, That was the one you Saw on the wood pile. This is the first place he has been, how glad we was to see him able to ride out, for the time was very long to him. Well Clayton can you tell me Why it is that my Sister Ella has forgotten me, for the last letter that I reed from her was last Feb., but I never Write the second letter until she writes.
1886 - Harriet Catherine Hagerman Married Clayton Ford
Findlay, May 1 '86
Mr.. & Mrs. Hagerman
Your note consenting to the marriage of your daughter, Harriet, has been received, and I am happy to thank you for this gift next to the greatest of all gifts, a wife, a helpmate, and a life companion. But I fear that while this your sacrifice is any comfort, it is also your sorrow, in that it takes from you the last of your children, which are always the joy and of parents in their old age, but. thc prosperity of their children adds new joys to fathers and mothers, and the bitterness of lifes declining years looses half its sorrows in the success of those for whom their life has been spent, and whom parents learn to love most dearly. May fond hopes and bright prospects illuminate your path as they do ours, and may God bless you lot as we trust- he will also bless ours.
Respectfully,
C .W. Ford
