Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. She is known here only from her father's obituary, which gives her only by her husband's initials. The kinship is recorded as a proposal from this notice. She is not linked to the released record of E. B. Jacobs, since the item does not name her husband beyond his initials.
