In possession of Capt. Dwight H. Kelton, U, 

 S. Ajmy, who f urn i shes me the following notes : 



The late very reverend Edward Jacker was 

 born at Ellwanger, "Wurtemberg, Germany, 

 Sept. 2, 1827, died at Marquette, Mich., Sept.l, 

 1887, and was buried at Hancock, Mich. He 

 wasordainedapriestatSault Ste. Marie, Mich., 

 in 1854, and from that time devoted his life to 

 work among the Indians, by whom he was 

 greatly . beloved. Having received a liberal 

 education, philology became his favorite pur- 

 suit, and this he made the leading study of his 

 life, acquiring among others a theoretical and 

 practical knowledge of the Algonquian Indian 

 languages, one dialectof which— the Chippewa 

 —he spoke fluently. His work of twenty years 

 in correcting and amplifying Bishop Baraga's 

 Chippewa dictionary was destroyed by an acci- 

 dent by which he lost his canoe and its contents. 

 His unpublished Mss. are in the possession of 

 Capt. Dwight H. Kelton, U. S. Army. He 

 was the author of Indian names of places near 

 the great lakes, published by Captain Kelton,

also of the "Indian names" published in the 

 1891 edition of Kelton's Annals of Fort Mack- 

 inac, and of the "Indian names," in the 1889^ 

 edition of Kelton's History of the Sault Ste. 

 Marie Canal, which will be found titled on page 

 277 of this bibliography. 



In a letter recently received from Mr. P. 

 Jacker, a brother of this author, he uses the 

 following language : " Though my brother was 

 perhaps the most diligent, and with respect to 

 the Algonquian dialects, the most accomplished 

 and thorough student of Indian languages, but 

 very little of his labors has gone into print. 

 The work of his life, the compilation of an 

 Ojibway grammar, when nearly complete in 

 manuscript, was lost in Lake Michigan by the 

 capsizing of his boat."
