F. Jacobs, of Shueyville, is no more. He was killed in the battle at Pittsburg Landing. B. F. Jacobs was a good citizen and a brave soldier, he fought valiantly in the battle at Ft. Donelson and came off unhurt, but fell at the battle of Pittsburgh, and now fills a hero’s grave. Our heart sickens when we think of the sorrow his untimely death brings upon the lonely wife and dear little children. We know what our heart has suffered for the loss of a dear son, and we think we can sympathize with those afflicted friends, but yet we suppose it is impossible for us to enter fully into the feelings of his dear companion. God sustain and bless her, and bless her little children.
