"When a young man Jacob moved to Mount Clemens, Michigan. He had pursued his education in the schools of New Jersey and had there learned the Miller's trade, which he followed until his death. He began building the milling business in Utica in 1858 and was identified in that manner with industrial interests until he departed this life in 1874.
