- LKH note:
Find a Grave gives his mother's name as Rosella (Winters) Jacobs.
His obituary gives his mother's name as Beulah, who according to Find a Grave is his father's second wife Beulah Swihart.
It appears from Find a Grave that Merlin Jacobs married twice. Merlin and Juanita Thornburg married in 1936 and divorced before 1946. Merlin married Eunice Elma Estep in 1946. Eunice was the widow of Merlin's half-brother, Robert Louis Jacobs (1925-1945).
From news articles, when Robert died in March 1945, he and Eunice were in the midst of divorcing.
