The many friends of George E. Jacobs were grieved to learn of his death, Tuesday, Oct. 5, at the hospital in Hanover, N.H. where he was taken for treatment last Saturday.
Mr. Jacobs had not been in very robust health for several years, but for the past two years he had improved and seemed to be gaining fast. Last week he complained of illness and consulted a physician here. It was advised that he be taken to Hanover, N. H. and there the doctors agreed that he was afflicted with appendicitis. An operation was performed. The case was found to be dangerous, and although the patient was given all the medical skill at the command of the hospital authorities, Mr. Jacobs did not rally from the operation.
Mr. Jacobs was born in Bradford, Vt., 52 years ago, the son of Alfred (and Ellen E.*) Jacobs. He learned the barber's trade in his native town. When the Spanish-American war broke out Mr. Jacobs was a member of Company G of the Vermont National Guard, located at Bradford at that time, and with the others in the company, he enlisted for service. He remained at Chickamauga Park, Ga., until the war closed.
Twenty-three years ago he was married to Miss Sadie Landry of Windsor, and she survives him together with their five children, three girls and two boys.
The deceased lived in Wilmington, Vt., for several years and then removed to California, where he remained three years. About ten years ago he came to Windsor to reside. Since coming to Windsor he had worked at the barber's trade continuously, having a shop in the Wilcox building on Main Street. His sister, Mrs. Harley R. Hoisington, resides in Windsor. He has another sister , two brothers and his mother all of whom reside in California.
Funeral services were held Thursday, October 7 at the St. Francis Catholic church here, with burial in St Francis Cemetery.
Although he never enjoyed good health and was several times forced to undergo surgical treatment, he never complained of his misfortunes, but bore it with fortitude like the good soldier he was in the battle of this workaday world.
