DORIS JACOBS was taken suddenly on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 24th, 1899, with a severe stroke of paralysis and at 4 o’clock her spirit took its immortal flight. She was born in Germany, August 26, 1833 and at the age of 12 years came to America and made her home in Davenport, Iowa. June 14, 1850, she was married to William F. Jacobs and the young couple came to Sabula and settled on a farm a short distance from Sabula, coming to town a few years later. To them were born eight children, Charles H., Johnie, Henry C., William Frederick, Frank, Fritz, Dora and Mina. Frank, Fritz and Dora are the surviving children.
