He attended school until he was fourteen years of age, when he clerked in the bank for two years. He then attended school for another year and in 1858 commenced work in his father's drygoods store where he continued until the war commenced in 1861, when he organized a company in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, was elected first lieutenant and went into camp at Pittsburgh, where his company was mustered in as Company D of 8th Penna. Reserve Vol. Corps. Mr. Jacobs was promoted to quartermaster of the regiment, and served until February, 1862, when he resigned. He came back to the drygoods store where he remained until 1865, when he turned his attention to farming up to 1871, then he returned to Brownsville and engaged in the iron and steel business until 1877. He then commenced work on the river, beginning as clerk on the boat run by Capt. M. A. Cox, and in 1889 was made captain of the steamer "Germania." He navigated most of the tributaries of the Ohio river, and as far south as New Orleans.
