He was united in marriage forty-two years ago to Harriet Wilber, who died May 3, 1897. To this union were born two children, Willoby E. Jaques of Bolivar, N. Y., and Donna M. DePew of Nile, N. Y.
Mr. Jaques was not a church member but was much interested in religious matters, a student of the Bible, and a regular reader of the Recorder. Mr. Jaques was of a quiet unassuming disposition, moving about the community in a quiet, helpful way. His illness was short and his death a shock to the people here.
He leaves his children; a brother, Lincoln E. Jaques; and a sister, Mrs. Caroline J. Slade; also six grandchildren, and a large group of friends.
A farewell service was held in his home on November 10, 1925, in charge of Pastor G. D. Hargis. Interment was in the Wells' Cemetery.
