He married Frances Fiala on 30 Mar 1894 in Boyd Co, NE (marriage book 1, page 49). They farmed near Spencer, NE and had children: Melvin, Effie, Tamer, Raymond & Michael F. Scandia Journal (KS); 19 Jan 1900; page 2 TRAGEDY IN BOYD COUNTY Insane Farmer Shoots a Neighbor and Then Himself Reports of a murder and suicide near Spencer, in Boyd county, Friday, have reached O'Neill. The victims of the tragedy are M. Nelson and M. Jacoby, farmers and neighbors. Jacoby, who is a member of the county board of supervisors, went to the home of Nelson, and with little provocation, it is claimed, shot the latter, killing him instantly. He made his escape, but was later found dead on the premises, having shot himself through the head. It cannot be learned that the men quarreled, as they were always supposed to be friendly. A farmer who knows both men says he thinks Jacoby was insane. Both men are said have been well-to-do and respected. A Butte special says that M.H. Jacoby is the new fusion commissioner of Boyd county, living east of Butte. Reports of the tragedy show that he went across the road to Milton Nelson's and talked pleasantly and asked him to come to Butte with him. They went behind a shed, out of sight of Nelson's twelve-year-old boy to look at some stock, and as they came back Jacoby pulled a revolver, shot Nelson through the head, then ran fifty yards and blew out his own brains, both dying immediately. Two letters found on Jacoby stated that he had been accused of getting money wrongfully and of having another family. Both were denied by him in a letter which is dated the 7th. The men were highly respected. At the coroner's inquest, a verdict was rendered that Nelson was killed by Jacoby who was insane.
