     Jacob Pound.  Shrewd business ability, special adaptiveness to his
vocation, appreciation of its many advantages and belief in his own
capacity for success placed Jacob Pound among the foremost and most
substantial promoters of agriculture in Jefferson County.  From his
farming lands, his unaided hands brought forth ample means permitting
his retirement to Jeffersontown in 1920 and his consigning to younger
hands the tasks that made up the sum of his existence for so many
years.  He has a modern and well furnished home in a pleasant locality,
and is regarded as one of the financially strong and morally high
retired agriculturists of his community
     Mr. Pound was born on a farm on the Taylorsville Road, 2 ½ miles
southeast of Jeffersontown, Jefferson County, June 26, 1840, a son of
James and Barbara (Hummel) Pound, and a member of one of the old and
honored families of this locality, a member of which is the present
congressman from this district Charles F. Ogden.  Presley Pound, an
uncle of Jacob resided in Linn county, Missouri, and while on a visit to
him, James Pound died, in 1850, when his son Jacob was but ten years of
age.  James Pound had been a farmer and had secured a property of some
value, but left his widow with but few means wherewith to rear the nine
children.  She was, however, a woman of great ability and industry, a
sturdy product of good stock and of high character, who managed to rear
her children to lives of usefulness, give them practical educational
advantages and live to see them all settled in life.  She died in
advanced age at the home of her devoted son, Jacob, respected and
honored by all who knew her.  Of the nine children of James and Barbara
Pound, seven grew to maturity as follows: John, aged eighty-two years,
who is living near Clark's. [sic] in Shelby County, Kentucky; Burden
residing at Fisherville, Jefferson County; William, who is engaged in
farming near Worthington, this state; Sarah, who died as the wife of the
late Henry Wisehart, an agriculturist of Jefferson County; Caroline, who
died as the wife of Hugh Razor, also an agriculturist of this county;
and Fred, who died in Oldham County, this state, after a career spent in
farming.
     Jacob Pound, as one of the older of his parent's children was
called upon to do his share to support the younger members of the
family, and from his tenth year forward his boyhood was one of hard
work.  His education, naturally, was somewhat curtailed but he was
occasionally able to attend the district school thereby laying the
fundamentals upon which to build a good, practical education in later
years through reading, study and observation.  He is now a well-informed
man upon numbers of worth-while subjects and natural intelligence and an
alert mind keep him fully abreast of the topics of the day.  During his
career as an agriculturist he farmed in Oldham, Shelby and Jefferson
counties, for the most part in the last-named near Fisherville.  He was
industrious and enterprising and used good judgment in his work, and
finally retired upon a competency to his home at Jeffersontown in 1920. 
In former years Mr Pound was a democrat, but in recent years has
transferred his allegiance to the republican party.  He belongs to the
Presbyterian Church.  Mr Pound is known throughout the community as a
dependable and upright man, one who regards his word as he would his
bond, and who has ever maintained the highest methods of farming and the
noblest ideals of home and community life.
     At the age of twenty-five years Mr. Pound was united in marriage
with Miss Mary Trigg, of Oldham County, Kentucky, daughter of Thomas and
Anna Trigg of that county, farming people.  Mr. and Mrs. Pound have no
children of their own, but reared an adopted daughter, Julia, from the
time that she was five years old.  She is now the wife of Will Savage, a
salesman of Louisville, and they have two children: Mary Allen and Lela.
