Obituary from the Wisconsin Kewaunee Enterprise newspaper dated Friday, August 22, 1879:
By letter from Schuyler, Nebraska, the particulars have been received of the circumstances attending the death of Erasmus Jacobsen near that place on the 10th inst. It appears that two friends called for him with a buggy, and the three drove into the country together, taking their guns along, tending to shoot prairie chickens. Stopping, the two friends got out. Mr. Jacobsen then got out, and taking hold of his gun, which was in the buggy, was in the act of pulling it out, when it accidently discharged, the charge of shot passing through his breast, killing him almost instantly. Deceased was fifty years of age, and was much respected in his new home, as he was in Gibson, where he formerly lived. He leaves a widow, who is inconsolable in her affliction, and four children. Mrs. Jacobsen is a sister of the Messrs. Erichsen of this village.
