He was a fine genial old gentleman and much respected by all who knew him. He died suddenly and was buried in the Arrow cemetery." Actual death date of Jan 18 was taken from probate of Jacob's will, death date of April 16, 1893 posted on many family histories is the date Jacob's death was reported to Manitoba Vital Stats. Of note - Jacob's surname Sararas was changed from Surerus in Ontario. The Surerus spelling is probably the original spelling. Jacob was illiterate so the clerks of the day spelled the name how ever they saw fit. Jacob was born and raised at Freeport, Waterloo County, Ontario. His children were born in the Twp of Wilmot, Waterloo County. He was located there in the census of 1851 and 1861. Some time in the 1860s Jacob and several members of his family moved further west to Huron County, Jacob settling Minto Twp, Wellington County along the border with Howick Twp, Huron County. Following the death of his wife Elizabeth Graybill in 1885, Jacob moved to Two Creeks, Manitoba where his son Wendel and family had located a couple years earlier. His daughter Esther (Hettie) Stubbins and family relocated to Arrow River, Manitoba about the same time. A few years later daughter Anna Sararas Moyer (Samuel) also moved to the Two Creeks district.
