County Auditor Thompson is in receipt of a letter from his brother, at Alexandria, Minn., through which announcement is made of the death of Mr. Jacob Lybrand, which occurred that place on Jan. 21st, after an illness of three months, the last sixteen days of which he was confined to his bed.

Mr. Lybrand came to Allamakee County in 1851 or 1855, and opened a store in Post township, founding the little village which now bears his name, and was well known throughout that part of the county as a singularly honest and conscientious man. Since then for a dozen or more years he has resided in Minnesota, but always took much interest in the affairs of Allamakee.

He was upwards of seventy years old at the time of his death, but always appeared much younger than the reality. He was never married. - Mirror
