Thursday, Oct. 12th, 1911, at midnight, the death angel entered the home of M. J. Jacobs and called dear uncle Dock home to Heaven. He was born Feb. 26, 1846, in Crittenden county Ky., where he lived until March 1907. He moved with his family to Yakima Valley, bought a nice home at Zillah, where he made many friends here in the surrounding country. All who knew him loved him.
In early childhood, he professed faith in Christ and united with his parents with the Cumberland Presbyterian church, where he remained a constant member until death. April 27, 1869, he was married to Pernecie C. Crayne and to this union were added four sons and five daughter (five died in infancy).
He leaves a wife, two sons, two daughters, one granddaughter, five brothers and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. He was afflicted the past year with kidney trouble. The last three months, he could not get out, scarcely out of the house or bed. He bore his sufferings with patience, never complaining or murmuring, always ready to go when God called him. He was a faithful companion, good father and a loving brother, a man who feared God and did right.
His two oldest brothers are still in Kentucky and three brothers here. All his family stood over him to the last, did all that could be done for his recovery, but he had fought the good fight, kept the faith, finished his work, only has closed his eyes and fell asleep in Jesus, to go home to his reward and mansion prepared for him on high.
The funeral service was held at the home, Saturday, 14th, at 10 a.m., conducted by uncle John Woodall, a childhood friend. A large concourse of relatives and friends followed his remains to the beautiful Zillah cemetery, where we laid his body to rest. "Weep not dear ones, I'm not dead, but gone home." was one of his mottoes to all earnest Christians, as he had lived for forty odd years.
"No deed of love or goodness every dies,
Bue lives in others, multiplies,
Say his work is just begun;
Be comforted, ye loved who weep-
He lives with God-
He is not dead."
Written by his niece, ARNALLA JACOBS HILL.
