George B. Jacobs

George B. Jacobs, real estate agent, residing at 536 Madison avenue, died at 
4:30 a.m. yesterday from an attack of typhoid fever after a sickness of 10 days.  
He was 55 years old.  He was for a time associated in business with John H. 
Rutter and it was for his (Jacobs’) farm in West Manchester township that the 
directors of the poor first proposed to spen $28,000 (?), as a new site for a 
county almshouse, though Jacobs stated afterward that the price he had asked for 
the property was only $18,000.  Mr. Jacobs was a native of Adams county but had 
lived for the past 15 years in York.  He leaves his wife, five sons, two 
daughters, four brothers and three sisters.  His sons are:  E. Oscar Jacobs,
