Funeral services were held Wednesday, February 15, for Mrs. Florence Jacobs, who died of pneumonia and other complications, Sunday, February 12, at the Medford hospital. Mrs. Jacobs was 77 years old. She had been ill for nine weeks.

Acting as pall bearers at the funeral were Wm. Vetter, F. W. Meyer, John Billings and Fred Redwine.
