Both his death record and his headstone indicate he was 59 years 6 months. He was killed by an accident on the farm. However, there is a discrepancy between the records. His death record shows he died Oct. 15, 1875, but his headstone is inscribed Nov. 1, 1875. This is not uncommon. For example, the book "Gleanings from the Blue Church Burying Ground" written in 1899, states his date of death as Nov. 18, 1875. The year of death then establishes his birthdate as April or May 1816.
The headstone has Elizabeths' name confirming their marriage however, her date of death (c1896) and age is blank. This may indicate since she died 20 years later that the dates were not inscribed by the family or that she is buried elsewhere. The grave next to Jacobs and Elizabeth is that of James Sizeland (d1850), a probable relation to Elizabeth.
The headstone has broken and fallen over the decades. It lays between and just steps from the Blue Church and the Barbara Heck Memorial next to Highway 2.
