Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark September 24, 1921

                   MAN KILLED BY FALLING FROM TRUCK UNDER WHEEL
    Blinding Headlights Cause Big Car To Run Off Road Into Ditch at Portlock

The blinding lights of an approaching automobile, which caused the truck on 
which he was riding to go into the ditch, resulted in the instantaneous death at 
Portlock last night of George Jacobs, 43 years old. When the truck went into the 
ditch Mr. Jacobs, who was riding with the driver on the front seat, lost his 
balance and fell under the wheels which ran over his head.
Jacobs who was about 45 years old moved to Norfolk County recently from 
Richmond, where he was engaged in the tailoring business, He owned a farm near 
the Richmond Cedar Works, about 8 miles out of Berkley, and was going to the 
farm with a truck load of building material when the accident occurred.
The accident happened shortly after 8 o'clock. The truck was driven by a drayman 
named Carter, who gave his residence as Park Avenue, Brambleton. Jacobs was dead 
by the time nearby persons reached the truck. The automobile whose lights caused 
the accident was not identified.
Jacobs leaves a wife and several children, who are living in Richmond. He had 
planned to have them join him at his farm soon. The body is being held in the 
Oliver Funeral Apartments pending disposition.
