His age was 79 years, two months and five days. Jacob Thomas was born in Frederick County, Maryland, Dec 24, 1797, and followed farming during the early years of his life, having at the age of seven years been left an orphan, and going to live with a Mr. Young, his uncle. He came to Clark County in 1850 and continued his residence here up to the time of his death.. On Monday evening, Dec. 20, 1875, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas celebrated their Golden Wedding, surrounded by kind friends. Deceased has always held the respect and esteem of his neighbors and the community generally. With remarkable patience and resignation he waited for ten long weeks, the running down of the clock, and the “setting of the sun.” His death was peaceful and happy. Among his last words were: “Now I want to go to sleep.” And then, after an affectionate farewell to wife and children, all of whom were present, and whom he recognized to the last, he fell into a calm and sweet repose. When asked by one of his children whether he was afraid to cross the river, he answered: No, all is birth on the other side.” He leaves a wife, ten children and thirteen grand children to mourn his loss. The funeral will take place at the house, Sunday at 2:30 o’clock p.m. Friends of the family are cordially invited.
