Democratic Standard Newspaper, Hollidaysburg, Blair Co., PA. Wed. March 5, 1879 issue. A GREAT BEREAVEMENT - We are much pained to state that the household of our friend George A. Jacobs, of this place, has just been entered by the death angel, and from the happy circle has been taken one who warmly entrenched in the hearts not alone of his immediate family, but as well as those who respect virtue and probity in youth. WALTER L. JACOBS, the only son of the family, died at an early hour of Thursday morning., Feb. 26th, 1879.,after an illness extending over a period of three or four weeks. His disease as we learn, was of the nature of typhoid fever, but at no time was any special alarm felt as to the safety of the patient, until a few days before his death, when the disease assumed a malignant force. The remains of the departed were followed to their last resting place by a large number of citizens, on Saturday afternoon, and in the cemetery they will repose until the Archangel's trump shall rouse the dead from their slumbers. Of the young man so unexpectedly called to another life, we are glad to say his record was good. There was about him nothing light, frivolous or trifling. He had none of the vices which too frequently stain the youthful character. Even in his childhood we remember surprise at his manly, straightforward way. He was young when he went hence, but he was ready to go. He had done his work. We shall not here attempt words of consolation. That would be almost mockery. But may the God of all grace so temper this great affliction which has so desolated a household that its seeming sorrow may result in blessing to all. He shall not return to them, but, after awhile, they may go to him if they prove faithful. It is a link connecting them with and drawing them toward heaven. May they be abundantly comforted. M.S.
