A Sudden Death - Last Tuesday, the 18th of September, 1866, this community lost one of
its most active and prominent, German citizens.
Early in the afternoon of that day, while on the road to his farm, which
he had started to visit in a buggy, with a friend, Mr. Charles Jacobi was
suddenly struck down and immediately expired.
He had not been in his usual good health for some time, but was not
considered in any danger. He was about
fifty seven years of age.
Mr.
Jacobi was born in Bavaria, and had held office in his native government. He took part in the revolution of 1848, and
when the reaction occurred, he became an exile, emigrating
to this county. He had resided in this
city some twelve or thirteen years, and by his activity and industry,
accumulated sufficient means to make his circumstances comfortable. His intelligence and enterprise gave him an
influential position among his German fellow citizens and secured him the
respect of all. At the time of his
unexpected death, he was engaged in two or three different branches of
business, in connection with Mr. F. Miller, all of which he was successfully carrying
on.
He had
a large circle of friends here among all classes, who deeply regret his
decease.
Buried
in Oak
Hill Cemetery
