George Iliff JACOBUS was born 24 March 1894 in Newark to Serlena STEWART and Augustus JACOBUS. I have a copy of George JACOBUS' WWI draft registration card. At the time of registration--1917--he was living in Jersey City, NJ with his "pregnant wife". He was a fireman for the P. R. R. (Penna. R. R.?) I cannot find him in the 1920 census. But I did find a Greiner family in Jersey City, 9 WD. One of the Greiner daughters is a Lillie JACOBUS, 26 years old and widowed. With her is her son, George, age 2 years and 3/12 months. My question is--can anyone help me?--is this Lillie Jacobus the widow of George Iliff Jacobus? Did her perhaps serve in WW I and was killed? I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Mona, Richmond, IN

It is possible hat he died in WWI or he may have died from the influenza epedemic of 1918. Regards, Gloria M.
