Notes - Jacob L. Fosher was born in Putnam county, Ind., March 12, 1854, came with his parents to Linn county, Missouri in 1856, where he has since made his home. Jake, as he was familiarly known in this community, was truly a noble man, kind and affectionate in all his intercourse with his fellow man. It may, with a just degree of propriety, be said of him that he has builded a monument in this community to his memory that shall out last all the granite and marble of the world. His spirit passed through the portals of what we call death into the kingdom of peace beyond, Sunday, April 22, 1900, aged 46 years, 1 month and 10 days, leaving behind to mourn their loss a wife, four children and many other relatives and friends. Several eyars ago he united with the Willow Vale Universalist church and has always tried to live a true and honest life. Funeral services from his late home, ten miles north of Brookfield, Tuesday morning, April 24, were conducted by Rev. J.B. Fosher, of Galesburg, Ill, the body being interred in the cemetery at Grantsville.
