From a Defiance area newspaper. Heading " FOUND DEAD IN BED" This morning, Peter Jacob arose at about 6 o'clock and proceeded at his usual work leaving his wife, as he thought, sleeping soundly, some fifteen minutes later a daughter went into the bedroom and spoke to her mother without receiving a response. going to the bed she found the mother's hands cold but the body still warm. A Physician was summoned but it was found life was extinct, she having died sometime during the night. Mrs. Jacob has been suffering from heart trouble and neuralgia for some weeks but was feeling better. however, this is attributed to the cause of her death. Mrs. Jacob was born in Belgium on April 5, 1840, and came to America when 13 years of age. She was married in 1859 and resided until in Seneca county, but for the past 33 years has been a resident of this county, moving to this city about 5 years ago. She was the mother of 10 children, 10 of whom survive her as follows: Mrs. Ferd Trentman, Cameron, Montana; Mrs. Sylvester Jacob, of Fostoria; Mrs. C. B. Hoeffel, Mrs. L. Arendt, Martin, and William, who live in the country, and Misses Ellen and Gertrude, of this city. She was reared in the Catholic faith and is a member of St. John's church in this city. while definite arrangements for the funeral have not been completed it is thought the funeral will be from the home, 822 Perry Street, to the church where services will be held at 9 o'clock Saturday morning.
