The Richwood Gazette
Ray Jacobs, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Jacobs, 
residing on the old Liggett farm in Millcreek township, met a watery grave in 
Millcreek waters Friday afternoon. Together with a boy by the name of Benton, 
he was swinging over the water on a rope fastened to a tree, when suddenly the 
rope broke, precipitating Jacobs to the bottom; a distance of eight feet. The 
boy could not swim and the Benton boy was unable to save him. Dr. Round, of 
Ostrander, was summoned but could render no assistance, as life was extinct. 
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon and were largely attended.
