A group of local doctors treated him. The man's relatives claim the attack in North 12th Street caused his death. Doctors may or may not disagree. The attack followed an alleged period if [sic] disipation. The morning after the attack it was said that a traveling salesman, a roomer in the Love home in North 12th Street, overheard two men quarreling just prior to the hour when Jacobs was found.

To this union were born six children of whom all survive, namely: Elva M. Wayman of this city; Howard Jacobs of Peoria; Herman Jacobs, Mabel G. Ranellio, Hazel B. Baker, all of Detroit; Harold Jacobs of this city.
At an early age he was converted and joined the United Brethren church later joining the Centenary Methodist of Murphysboro. He has been engaged in the grocery business at 421 S. 15th street for the past several years.
