Husband’s Notes...
--------------------------------------------------
Notes:
According to Earl and Jennie Syers, Jacob worked
for the Peoria Mining Co. Another relative reported that he worked for
the Austin Powder Company. Census records can be found on him for 1900
(Union Co, KY), 1910 (Union Co, KY), and 1920 (Saline Co, Illinois). On
the 1920 Saline Co, Illinois census he is listed as a traveling salesman.
His nephew, Earl remembers that he traveled a lot and was often away from home. He and his wife "Kit" didn't always get along. His death certificate lists his immediate cause of death as cardiac decompenstion due to Lyrnphatic Leukemia, splenomeyaly, nephrolithians. Madge Schwartz, Harrisburg, Illinois is listed as the informant.
His place of burial is Sunset Hill Cemetery at Harrisburg. The occupation listed on the death certificate is Salesman for the Western Mfg. Co. Jennie believes that she has seen photos of this Jacob and they are the same images that I found among my grandmother's photos and marked as her father.
Wife’s Notes...
--------------------------------------------------
Notes: Some researchers have referred to her as
Katherine, but Earl and Jennie Syers remember her being called "Kit". She
and Jacob were having some marital problems. I don't know if they divorced
or not. I don't think that they were. They were married at her father's
home in Commerical Point, KY. She and Jacob are buried in Sunset Hills,
Cemetery, Harrisburg, Saline Co, Illinois.
