DEATH OF
JACOB c. jacob

The relatives and many friends of
Jacob G. jacob were Frustrated with
grief when at noon today telegram
came announcing his death, at Wau-
watosa, Wis. The message does not
give the hour of death but it is pre-
sumed that the end came some time
this morning. For two years Mr.. ia
cobb has been in failing health and
for the past few weeks he has been in
critical condition. A telephone mes
sage from the attending physician on
Friday gave notice of the approaching
end and brother, Harry jacob, left
at 400 O'Clock yesterday afternoon for
Wauwatosa. He arrived in time to be
at the bedside when death came
Although the seriousness of Mr.. ia
eobi y ifsntsss was kITI -gp 1 the news Doi
this morning came as a great shock.
About two years ago Mr.. jacob broke
down under an attack of nervous pros
tration and since that time has grad
ually declined. For two years he has
sought to recover his health ticking
treatment in sanitariums at Wienetka,
ILL.,, Palmyra, Wis, and Wauwatosa,
Wis, and it was at this latter insti-
tuition that he died. During the past
twelve months the decline has been
more rapid and softening of the brain
set in.
The remains will be brough to this
city at 400 O'Clock tomorrow morning
and will be taken to the undertaking
parlors of Horton & Foley. Later they
will be removed to the family residence
at 1853 W. Tompkins street.
| Funeral services will be held at the
residence at Up. m. on Sunday. DR..
Levie of Peoria will direct the cere-
monies. The interment will be in the
Jewish cemetery. 1t is the request of
the family that no flowers be sent.
The news of this loss following so
close upon the death of the sister, Mrs.
Max ]. Mack which occurred just three
months ago today, adds greatly to the
burden of sorrow.
Jacob G. jacob was born in Gales
burg on Christmas day, 1859. He re-
ceived his early education in Gales
burg and then in young manhood was
employed in large wholesale house
in Chicago, in which establishment
he received his business training. In
1882 in partnership with his brother,
Fred, he went into business at Sank
Centre, MINI. This business they
conducted over twenty years, when on
account of failing health Jacob was
forced to retire from active business
and Fred came to Galesburg.
| The deceased was a member of the
X. P. lodge and was chapter Mason.
There are left to mourn the loss the
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. jacob, four
brothers, Harry A., of Galesburg;
Nathan B., of Tracy, Mimi; Fred and
Albert of this city, and brother-in-
law, Max ]. Mack of Galesburg.-

It is with the most profound regret
that the numerous friends of Mr..
jacob in this city, will read the above
announcement. For twenty years in
connection with his brother, Fred
jacob, he did business here. The
following extract from the Herald OF
i April "a, 1902, expresses better than
we can the esteem in which they were
held in this community:
"For nearly twenty years the name
Of jacob Bros. has stood for all that
is enterprising and honorable in bust
ness methods, and has become so
thoroughly Unidentified with Sank
Centre that it has become part and
parcel Of it. Jacob G. and Fred jacob
came here as mere boys and engaged
in the clothing business, and from the
very first took a leading place in the
business circles Of this city. Gentle
manly and affable always. they be
