Happy New Year! For those of you who are following the family of James M. Jobe and Margaret Stone, s/o Enoch Job and Lucretia, today in the mail I received the obituary of the son-in-law of James and Margaret, Jacob F. Maugans. I had written to Logan Co OH to see if I could secure obits for he and Margaret, but only was able to obtain the one for Jacob. According to the death record in Logan Co he died in 1901, NOT 1900 as it is given on the cemetery stone. It also states that they were married October 20, 1860 and located to OH in 1861. I had that they married Jan. 24, 1860, but upon calling to Jefferson City, MO. to try and secure a marriage record and was told none was returned for the Jan 24, date, I have decided to use the date given in the obituary. Jacob and his family are listed living next door to the James M. Jobe family in Jefferson City MO in 1860, his family came from Logan Co OH. I am not sure what they were doing in MO, but seems they all returned in 1861. This would have been the beginning of the Civil War so that may have had something to do with it. Please find listed below the death record and obit for Jacob.

To this union four children were born, of whom but one, Charles, survives to weep with her who is left along and sadly grief stricken by this dispensatioin of Providence. Jacob Maugans located in Bellefontaine in 1861. He was a carpenter by trade and while he began life with little capital other than his two hands and indomitable energy and ambition, he accumlated large means and was well off in this world's goods, and many are the homes and business blocks in Bellefontaine built by Mr. Maugans. He was thorough and conscientious in all his undertakings and a man of high principles and honor. He was a stockholder in the Bellefontaine Nationa Bank and his business interests were many. The First Baptist church, of which the deceased was a member, many years, was largerly supported by him. He was a Chairman of the Board of Finance and at his death a Senior Subdeacon and served as a Trustee for many years. He was also choir master and leading spirit in the singing, and faithful and constant in his efforts to build up and do good in every way possible for his fellowmen. Mr Maugans was a member of the Odd Fellow lodge, and this order as well as his church and the community has sustained a great loss in his death. A man of unflinching fidelity to right his been called to his reward. His life work was well done. -------------- The funeral of Jacob Maugans was held at the family home Sunday afternoon, Rev. C. R. Sargent and the Odd Fellows conduction it. Many paid the last tribute of respect to the departed, and the pastor's tribute found response in many hearts.
