Note: while the first death notice/story about the death of Jacob that was published in the Fairfield Ia. Daily Ledger listed his DOB as January 12, 1869, the subsequent fuller obituary published on November 23rd listed the DOB as January 27, 1867 (Note: there are also Lutheran church records that tend to support that date). The headstone inscription puts the DOB year as 1868. Not knowing how to reconcile these differences, will use the 1868 headstone inscription version for this memorial, leaving out the month and day.
The DOD of November 2, 1931 appears to be credible in all accounts, so will use that for this memorial.
Husband of Louisa Graby Faber.
