Monroe Democrat, 15 August 1902
Obituary - The Monroe Democrat, Friday, August 15, 1902	
Photocopy of transcription of article, Monroe County Historical Museum files
Friday evening at six o'clock at the home of his brother John, died Jacob 
Maurer of Rushville, Ill. after about five years affliction with lung 
trouble.  The deceased was born in Adrian, November 27, 1859 where he lived 
until 10 years old, wh(e)n his parents moved to a farm in Raisinville.  Here 
he remained until 1881 when he went to Rushville with Thomas Keegan and John 
Maurer, who were there erecting a duplicate of the Monroe court house and 
after that he made that city his home.  He followed different occupations, but 
his last was that of a grocer, at which he was very successful, until five 
years ago, when he retired from business in his endeavor to regain his 
health.  On May 14, 1902, he came here - to die as it proved - and stayed with 
his brothers.  His wife died four years ago and he is survived by three 
children, Edith, Gertrude, and George, and five brothers, Charles, Joh(n), and 
Henry of this city and Leonard and Frank of North Dakota.  Funeral services 
were held from St. John's church Monday morning, Rev. Fr. O'Rorke officiating.
