Obituary for Jacob E. Truckenmiller in the Watsonville, PA, newspaper:
Truckenmiller - In the hospital, Fredericksburg, 15 December 1862. Jacob E. Truckenmiller, aged 35 years, 9 months, 22 days. The deceased was one of the nine month volunteers in the Watsontown Company, 131st Pennsylvania Regiment. He was wounded in the second days fight at Fredericksburg by a piece of shell which broke his thigh bone and also by a ball passing through the same limb above the knee. A wife and six children, also parents and friends are left to mourn the loss of one beloved. His last words were, "It is nothing to die when one is prepared." He is now sleeping in the grave, a victim to his noblest zeal and love for his country. They have wrapped him in his blanket and laid him down to rest in the little mound opposite Fredericksburg, where the wild birds shall chant his requiem and spring flowers shed their fragrance around his tomb.
