Alexander was born in Ohio County, W. Va., on June 29, 1823. He was educated in Washington College, Pa., graduating from that noted institution in 1845. He studied law and was admitted to practice, but never followed it as a profession. By appointment, he became deputy sheriff of Ohio County, W. Va., and served in the capacity of sheriff a number of years. After the division of the "Old Dominion," the capital of West Virginia was located at Charleston. That was averse to the wishes and interests of the City of Wheeling, and Mr. Jacob was elected to the lower house to secure the relocating of the capital at Wheeling. These were stirring times in West Virginia poilitics, the young representative won the confidence of the district and in 1872 was sent to the Senate to maintain the victory already won. After his retirement from the Senate, he devoted his attention to farming, moving to this place in 1877. He resided on his farm near Arthur, Iowa, for a number of years and served as postmaster for that Village for 6 years. Two years ago, he purchased the farm where the family now lives, but had occupied it only a few months prior to his death. The deceased had been a great sufferer of inflammatory rheumatism for the past year and a half, each attack weakening his vitality until he was so reduced that death resulted from exhaustion. Mr. Jacob possessed an extensive acquaintance with the public men of today. He was a classmate of Hon. James G. Blaine and knew much of the inner history of the national political leaders. He was a member of the Episcopal Church and his life was ever in conformity to the precepts of the master. In 1850, he married Mary Julia Brown, who with 6 daughers and 2 sons survive him. They had 9 children, Mary Miller, Elizabeth, Z. Montgomery, Alexander, Nancy, Martha Jane, Sallie (Sarah), Andrew, and Julia. Funeral services were officiated by Rev. T. N. Buchanan on Sunday at 3 a.m.
