AFTER A YEAR'S ILLNESS
Death of Jacob Good at His Residence on Market Street
Jacob Good died at his residence, corner of East Market and Forge streets, this morning after an illness of five weeks. Mr. Good's illness dates back over a year when he was sick first with blood poisoning and pneumonia which set in later. He was confined to his room all of last Winter, not being able to go out until the latter part of last March. He was again taken ill with a relapse of the old trouble about five weeks ago since which time he has been gradually growing worse. He has been a resident of this city for over half a century and was well-known all over the county.
He was born at Alsace, France, now under German dominion and came directly to this State upon leaving his native country. A more extended obituary will be published in to-morrow's Beacon and Republican. He leaves a wife and six children, viz: Mrs. Amelia Beck, Mrs. J.K. Simmons, Mrs. George Isenmann, Will G., Lottie and Frank. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed.

JACOB GOOD'S LIFE
Facts Which Are of Interest to the People Generally
In the death of Jacob Good, Akron suffers the loss of one of her pioneer citizens and one who has done much for the upbuilding of the city. Coming her when but 18 years of age he has spent the greater part of his life in Akron and a number of substantial, elegant blocks stand as monuments to his enterprise. Mr. Good was always ready to help a friend and many owe their success to his substantial encouragement and assistance.
Mr. Good was born at Uhrweiler, Alsase, May 15, 1828, and came to this country in 1846, locating in Akron and entered the employ of his cousin, John T. Good, in the grocery business. In 1853, he went to California, going by the way of Cape Horn. He remained in California for two years, being engaged in the mining and brewing businesses. Returning to Akron in 1855 he entered into partnership with John T. Good, again in the grocery business. Later he bought the property at the corner of High and Markets streets, now occupied by John Kreuder, and opened up a grocery on his own hook. In the meantime he purchased the property at the corner of Market and Forge streets, then a tract of 25 acres and ran a place until 1885 when he built the elegant residence now standing there. He also started in the brewery business but sold out shortly afterward to Fred Oberhultz. He had also built the Commerce block on the site adjoining the Academy of Music. This was destroyed by fire and afterwards rebuilt along with the Academy of Music block. He was married in 1856 to Catherine Yost, by whom he has had nine children. Seven of whom are living, all in Akron, Mrs. Amelia Beck, Mrs. George Isemann, Mrs. Henry Feuchter, Mrs. J.K. Simmons, William Good, Miss Lottie Good and Frank Good.
Funeral services will be held at the residence Sunday at 3 p.m. Interment at Glendale.
