G, 14th Res., IA Inf. The Daily Missoulian (Missoula, Montana) – 22 April 1913, Tue * p. 3 Jacob B. Overturf Meets Death Suddenly Old-Timer In Valley Almost Instantly Killed In Fall From Wagon Hamilton, April 21.—(Special) -- Jacob B. Overturf, one of the pioneers of the valley and a veteran of the civil war, was thrown from his wagon today, death resulting instantly from a broken neck. Mr. Overturf had been to this city for a load of manure and was entering his home yard in Nicol addition about noon, when the distressing accident occurred. In crossing an irrigation ditch just after entering the gate the wagon lurched, throwing the old gentleman onto the ground. He struck on the side of his head with such force that his neck was fractured. Neighbors heard him call to the horse as he fell. They hurried to the Overturf home and the injured man was removed to the house and a doctor summoned, but he was beyond medical aid. News of the accident spread over the city rapidly, the shock being great as the dead man had been seen on local streets less than an hour before the accident. “Uncle Jake” Overturf, as his friends familiarly called him, was born in Delaware county, Ohio, October 13, 1840. He served three years in the civil war as a member of the Fourteenth Iowa Infantry. He was captured at the battle of Shiloh and imprisoned in Libby prison. Few soldiers of the civil war saw more active service than did this soldier. Many of the important battles of the war have been recalled at local soldier reunions by Mr. Overturf, his clear mind recalling many a stirring incident. He was a member of the local Grand Army of the Republic post and was serving as adjutant at the time of his death. The local post flag is flying at half-mast this afternoon in his honor. Mr. Overturf was married in 1866 to Rozella Wilson. His widow and five children survive him. He leaves three sons, Simon, Elmer and David, all of Darby, and two daughters, Mrs. William Waugh of this city and Nora Williamson of Bernice, Mont. He is also survived by two brothers, Marion and Reese of Darby. All of the relatives at Darby were notified soon after his death and reached here this afternoon. Mr. Overturf has resided in the state for 29 years, 25 of which have been spent here in the Bitter Root valley. He was one of the active members of the Farmer’s Society of Equality here. “Uncle Jake” Overturf was a man of many fine qualities. Possessed of a fund of good will and cheer, he was a most congenial companion. His popularity extended as far as did his acquaintance, and he was generally known throughout the valley. Many words of sympathy for the bereaved family were heard here today, many friends calling at the home to offer condolences. No arrangements had been made for the funeral this afternoon, but it probable that the services will be held on Wednesday. Interment will be made at Darby. [obituary transcribed and provided by G47]
