(Obituary in the Houston Tri-Weekly Journal, 8 Dec. 1864, page 2) He may be buried in the cemetery of Christ Episcopal Church, Houston, where there is the record of a Jacob W. Cruger, said to have been buried 18 Jan. 1866, age 54. Of course, the published record does not conform to the obituary, but I have not examined the stone or the original source. (Tombstone Inscriptions in Early Houston Cemeteries) I know of no other person by the name of Jacob W. Cruger who lived in Texas. His prominence in early Texas Republic and later Texas state history makes me suspect that the burial place is correct even if the data concerning the burial is suspect.
