"News from Tabor and Vicinity".--"........Rev. Jacobs has had as his very able assistant his wife, who in calling with him on parishoners, in teaching Sunday School class, in helping with the Woman's Union and the Circles, and in entertaining in her home has taken her full share of the work in the parish. "Rev. Jacobs is retiring from the actdive ministry after about 40 years of service; but in one sense he is not retiring. He still plans to act as pulpit supply, to keep up his writing of life and other historical sketches, and to be available for various addresses. All of these things he has managed heretofore in connection with his other pastorial duties. "In December, 1900, the Rev. Jacobs began his first pastoriate, a circuit of Methodist churches including Persia, Portsmouth, Harrisburg and Beebetown. In September, 1927, he went ot Perry as pastor of the Congregational church; in 1931 he went to the Shenandoah church, where he remained for seven years. He has also served the churches at Imogene, Silver city and Randolph. "Hlis varied experience has given him a very large circle of friends, who are glad that he still plans to continue in his work of writing and lecturing. "Rev. and Mrs.Jacobs have already moved from the parsonage in Tabor to a home which they have purchased in Shenandoah."
