F.H. Jacobi, 69, died of a heart attack Friday noon while threshing grain on the homestead farm on Highway 141 northwest of Cleveland. Mr. Jacobi was atop a load of hay, waiting his turn to take it into the barn. When he failed to answer the call to dinner his fellow-workers investigated and found him dead, seated on the load of hay.
Funeral services will be on Monday at 1:30 o'clock from the home and at 2 o'clock at the SS. John and Peter Lutheran church at Cleveland, the Rev. Martin A. Braun officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery. The body will lie in state at the family home after 7 o'clock tonight.
Mr. Jacobi was born on the homestead farm on May 9th, 1871. He married Emma Fischer in 1902 and Mrs. Jacobi died in 1921. He farmed all during his lifetime, until he turned over management of the place to his son, Edgar, with whom he continued to reside until his death.
Survivors are the son, three grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Robert Fiemink in Iowa, and one brother, Herman Jacobi of Rathrum, Idaho.
