THE CLINTONVILLE TRIBUNE - Clintonville, Wisconsin
Albert Jacoby, aged 28, son of Mr. & Mrs. Aug.
Jacoby of Embarrass, died at the home of his parents yesterday morning
after an illness of 6 months. The deceased was in the first
draft this spring,
being entrained at Detroit. He was first stationed at Camp
Custer, later
transferred to Camp Jordan in Georgia. It was at this
Cantonment that he was
taken ill and after examination by the physicians, it was
decided that his
trouble was such, as to make him unfit for military
service, hence he was given
an honorable discharge. Mr. Jacoby returned home where he
has been since then,
under the constant care of physicians. Although he has been
a resident of this
section for only 3 1/2 years he has made many
friends who will be sorry to learn of
his death. Besides his parents, 4 sisters, Mrs. H. Fritz;
Mrs. M. Mason and
C. Martin of Grand Rapids and Miss Esther at home; 5
brothers, Frank of Grand Rapids, Herman in the Army in Alabama, Arthur now
in France, and Edwin and Louis
