From Biographical Sketches of Northwest Louisiana:
"On Feb. 3, 1882, Mr. Jacobs married Miss Frances Abrams, daughter of Capt. Amos Fletcher Abrams, a native of Ohio and for many years a Mississippi river steamboat owner and captain, who at different times in his life lived at St. Louis, where Mrs. Jacobs was born, New Orleans and Bossier parish, La., and lastly in California, where he died a few years ago, though his remains were brought to St. Louis and interred by the side of those of his wife. The mother of Mrs. Jacobs was Elizabeth Israel, also a native of Ohio. She died in St. Louis, Mo., when Mrs. Jacbos and Frances Abrams was but six years old. The marriage of Walter B. Jacobs and Frances Abrams resulted in the birth of six children, one of whom died in infancy. The other five are Mary Elizabeth, Annie Florence, Frances Ottelia, Walter Byron and Edward. The two eldest daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Annie Florence, are graduates of the convent of the Sacred Heart of St. Louis. Both are married and live in Shreveport, their husbands being prominent physicians of that city. Mary Elizabeth is now the wife of Dr. Thomas P. Lloyd and Annie Florence is the wife of Dr. Youree Alexander."
*Annie Florence married Dr. Silas Youree Alexander of Greenwood, Caddo Parish, Louisiana. He died at a fairly young age and is buried with his family at Greenwood [Town] Cemetery in Greenwood, La. Florence and her children removed to Europe where she married Victor Russenberger. She lived in Paris and possibly Lucerne, Switzerland according to Victor's 1967 obituary. Florence died in Shreveport in 1971 and is buried in Forest Park East Cemetery. Annie Florence was a namesake of Frances' sister, Annie Florence Abrams, who died in New Orleans at the age of 20 from consumption.
**Capt. and Mrs. Abrams are interred in the renowned Belfontaine Cemetery in Saint Louis, Mo. Their grave is marked by a beautiful female statue. Elizabeth Israel was only 22 at the time of her death. According to the 1860 St. Louis US Federal Census, Capt. Abrams had two older teenaged children in the household, Rhoda and Alexander Israel, possibly Elizabeth's siblings. Capt. Amos Abrams married Lillie Morse in New Orleans on January 26, 1875. At that time he owned a large plantation, Willow Bend Plantation in Bossier Parish near Benton, La. Amos then moved to Fresno, California in the mid-1890's until his death in 1901. Mrs. Abrams is reported by The Bossier Banner newspaper to be a subscriber splitting her time between Shreveport and her home state of Massachusetts. Society columns in the same newspaper have her and Frances' daughter Florence, visiting relatives around the area, so she seemed to have a good relationship with her step-children and grandchildren. She died two years after Frances and is buried in Massachusetts at Grove Cemetery in Holden, Worcester County.
