Mr. Emanuel Jacobs died Tuesday morning at his home on Lumber street, after a 
long illness from cancer of the stomach.  Mr. Jacobs was taken to the University 
of Pennslvania Hospital, Philadelphia, where he spent a month, but upon 
examination it was found that the cancer had reached such a stage that an 
operation was deemed of no avail.  He was then brought back to his home about 10 
days ago.  He was aged 57 years, 8 months and 18 days, and is survived by his 
wife, who was Mrs. Emma Randall, and the following children:  Clarence E. 
Jacobs, of Red Lion; Ethel Jacobs, of Jersey City, N.J.; Mrs. Reid Eppleman, of 
West King street, Stewart Jacobs and Ellis Jacobs, at home.  Also by his father, 
Samuel Jacobs, of Lancaster; two sisters, Mrs. Jacob Adams, of Lumber street and 
Mrs. Savilla Wise, of Lancaster, and one brother, Benj. Jacobs of Columbia.  The 
funeral will be held on Friday morning with services at the house at 8 o’clock 
by Rev. C. H. Campbell, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church.  The funeral 
cortege will then go to Yorkanna, where further services will be held in the 
United Evangelical church.  Interment will be made at Yorkanna.
