HERALD OF TRUTH - Volume IV, Number 5 - May 1867 - Page 78.

On the 19th of February, very suddenly, in Chester Co., Pa., Bro. JACOB 
LATSHAW, aged 70 years, 9 months, and 14 days. Buried at Vincent Meeting 
house, where funeral sermons were preached by John Latshaw, David Buckwalter 
and John Hunsbery, from 2 Tim., 4:7, 8. He had been affected by palsy, about 
six years ago, from which he suffered slightly at different times, though 
his health generally was pretty good, until the night previous to his death, 
when he did not feel very well. He rose in the morning, took breakfast, 
walked out to the barn and to the field; returned to the house, seated 
himself in the rocking chair and read in the testament, then laid down the 
book, and expired in a few minutes.
He was chosen to the ministry in 1832 or 33. His desire and prayer was to do 
the will of his Master, having served as a watchman on the walls of Zion about 
34 years, he has gone to his reward. May our loss be his eternal gain.
