The Sebeka Review, November 8, 1912
War Veteran Called
The death of Jacob Graba, an old and highly respected resident of this village and an honored veteran of the Civil War, occurred Tuesday afternoon, his last moments being without pain and he peacefully passed away to the great beyond. “Uncle Jake”, as he was favoritely called by the people of the county, counted his friends by the hundreds and his death brings expressions of sorrow to the lips of those who had the privilege of knowing this grand old citizen.
Jacob Graba was born at Madison, Indiana on March 28, 1832 and was therefore 80 years, 7 months and 7 days of age. He was married to Miss Rhoda Green in the year 1850 and eight children were born to them, five who are living. Two children, a daughter and a son, died twenty-four years ago, and his eldest son, William Jacob, died six years ago. The five children who survive him are: Mrs. B. Connell and George Graba, who reside east of Sebeka; Mrs, W.M. McGee of Roseberg, Oregon; John Graba of Bucado, Washington; and Sam Graba of Arlington, Wash. There are several grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
The deceased enlisted in Company E of the 3rd Indiana Cavalry at the opening of the Civil War and he served three years in the line of battle with honor and distinction. He was a prisoner in the Andersonville Prison for nine months and together with thousands of other Union soldiers suffered untold hardships in that terrible southern prison. After the war he moved to Iowa where he lived for several years and in 1882 moved to this state and he was one of Wadena county’s pioneer settlers.
The funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Thursday at one o’clock in the afternoon, Rev. John S. Turnbull of Lyons preaching the funeral sermon. A large number of the deceased’s old friends and neighbors attended to show their respect and to pay tribute to the memory of their worthy friend who had lived a useful and upright life.
