Jacob Griner death certificate:
Jacob Greiner's death certificate (Book #1, record No. 68) shows New York City as his birthplace. It is brief, but gives the following information: He died March 31, 1903 of kidney trouble, was married, and is buried in White Pigeon, English River Twp., Keokuk Co., Iowa. He lived 69 years, 1 month and 8 days.
Keswick, April 1--Once again the reaper Death has taken from our midst one of our old and respected citizens, and by the death of Jacob Griner, Adams township and Keswick loses one of the citizens whose place will remain unfilled. Mr. Griner had been a resident of Keokuk county since 1860, and of Keswick for the last ten years, and it goes without saying that he leaves many friends who mourn his being taken from among us, and they will miss the humor and happy word that he had for all.
Jacob Griner was born in New York City February 23, 1834, and died at his home in Keswick March 31, 1903, only lacking eleven months of having reached his three score and ten.
He removed with his parents to Hardin county Ohio when a lad of 6 years in 1840 and fifteen years later or in October 1855 was there united in marriage to Miss Ann M. Rubens, who has been the helpmate to the deceased for fifty years and is left to mourn the loss of a beloved husband. To this union have been born thirteen children, six of whom have proceeded the father to the unknown world, and seven of whom survive him. The children living are Chas. H. Griner of Greenfield, Mary M. Cameron wife of Allen Cameron of Keswick, Daniel G. Griner of Oklahoma, Catherine Hyatt of Forestville, New York, Simeon J. Griner, of North English, Emma Griner of Keswick, and Sedassa Churchill wife of Charles Churchill of Keswick.
Mr. and Mrs. Griner moved to Keokuk county five years after their marriage, or in 1860, and for a number of years resided in English River township. Having made a success of farming and being well provided for the future, Mr. Griner moved to Keswick with his family about ten years ago and has been a familiar figure in our city since that time.
His health has been good until about a month ago and since that time he has failed very rapidly until death overtook him about one o'clock last Tuesday morning. The sympathy of the entire community is with the bereaved wife and family. The funeral was held at the deceased's residence in Keswick at eleven o'clock on Wednesday, interment at the White Pigeon cemetery.
Jacob married Rubins, Maria Ann in Oct 1855. Maria was born on 10 May 1836 in Richland County, Ohio; died on 2 Feb 1905 in Keokuk County, Iowa; was buried in White Pigeon Cemetery, Keokuk County, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
