The sad intelligence was received by telephone immediately after he had passed away, and within a few minutes was transferred to relatives and near friends, casting a deep feeling of gloom over the entire town. He was taken suddenly ill on Monday, October 25th, and on Wednesday evening, accompanied by his wife, Father and Mother, and Mrs. Ida Wells, was taken to Hot Lake, Oregon where, on the following morning a surgical operation was performed disclosing an acute case of appendicitis and other complications of a critical nature. From this he seemed to rally and great hopes were entertained for his recovery. A week later complications began to developed, necessitating another operation on November 11th, from which he never recovered, notwithstanding the fact that every means known to medical science, was given and the tender care of loving hands. With death there is always sadness but in the loss of this noble young man it is more than usual. He was young and in the prime of life with every bright prospect before him. His was a happy home, unmarred by harsh words or neglect - - a home where affection and devotion abounded; a devoted wife who surrendered all and was with him through his sickness to the end; two sweet children who will miss the father's tender care and training; a father and mother whom he loved and honored and who relied upon his advice and assistance in all business affairs. For years he has cheerfully carried the load of responsibility and relieved his father of business cares. When there seemed to be so much depending on him and he could be illy spared, we ask, "why should he be taken?" There is no answer; Death is no respector of person. Carl was not like many young men of this day and age. He had no bad habits. He was clean, honest, upright and was held with most high esteem by the entire community. His highest aim, was to do what he knew to be right. The writer has known him since a boy and can say from personal knowledge, he was a good boy and grew to be a good man. Good deeds in this world will be rewarded in the next. It is true his loss will be most keenly felt in his immediate family and by near relatives, but not them alone. He will be missed in the town and community. He was a member of the City Council where he took an active part in the affairs of the city, and where his business judgment and ability will be greatly missed. The City Council was in session when the sad news of his death came. Mayor Woodward, at once, ordered the Flag on the City Hall lowered to half mast in honor of the departed member of the City Council. He was converted and became a member of the Christian church when a boy 16 years of age. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen in good standing where he carried insurance for the protection of his family which he loved and cherished. Those who will feel the loss of his early departure are; first, and most of all, his grief stricken wife who, when a child, was his school mate where their love and devotion grew, culminating in their union on June 5th, 1908; his two children -- Noland, age 11 years, who is a manly little fellow, bearing his burden of grief bravely and who will be a great comfort to his mother in her sad bereavement, and little Wilma, age 3; a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Jacobsen; two sisters and one brother; Mrs. John Sur and Arma Jacobsen of Payette, and Dr. A. M. Jacobsen of Pocatello; and other near relatives who were all present at the funeral. Carl was but 33 years, 7 months and 19 days old. He was born in Payette March 27th, 1887 and was united in marriage to Miss Bird Wells, June 5th, 1908. Funeral services were held from the home this Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mowe pastor of the Christian Church, where many gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. The many beautiful floral offerings which covered the casket and decorated the room gave testimony of love and respect. Interment took place in the Riverside Cemetery where the body was tenderly laid to its last resting place. Many are the friends who will extend their heartfelt sympathy to the relatives in their sad affliction.
