Maquoketa Excelsior, August 31, 1899

Volkert Jacobsen died at his home on Main Street, Maquoketa, Tuesday afternoon
at 3 o'clock, after about three weeks confinement. "Billy," as he was familiarly
called, had a very large acquaintance and was well liked for his gentle
disposition and accommodating manners. He was born Dec. 12, 1851 in
Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He came to America at the age of 16 years and went
to Minnesota where he lived on the farm of an uncle until 1872, when he came to
Maquoketa, In 1880 he was married to Levy Ringlep, who with two of the four
children born to them survive him. Ten years ago Mr. Jacobsen was kicked by a
horse on the head and breast and has been out of health ever since. Funeral
services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Baptist Church, Rev. Henry
Clark officiating.
