5. Copied from The Columbia Missouri Herald, 22 Feb 1907:
"Jacob B. Brockman was born in Clark county, Kentucky, December 18,
1826, and died in Eldorado Springs, Missouri, January 27, 1907, aged
80 years, one month and nine days.
He was united in marriage to Narcissa Quisenberry of Clark County,
Kentucky, in 1846. To this union were born five children, two of whom
survive the parents. They are A.A. Brockman, of Centralia, and Mrs.
Benjamin Scott of Winchester, Kentucky. His first wife died in 1866.
He was married to Mary F. Stevenson, September 1, 1868, who is left
alone to mourn her sad loss.
Bro. Brockman was of that sturdy, Kentucky stock, which believes in
making careful beginnings and with steady step, marching triumphantly
to the goal. To this end, he united with the Christian church at the
age of seventeen and his Christian character has been the index to his
life from that time until his death. The church was first in everything
with him. As a business man he was successful, being a financier of
importance in the communities where he lived. His business dealings
with fellow men were conducted with precision and honor. He believed a
Christian should "owe no man anything," and he practiced this till the
last. As a church member, he was devout, earnest and consistent. He
was always ready to do what he could personally and financially. He
had no fault to find with any one but himself. He was consequently a
great encouragement to those who were more fortunate but less
courageous than himself.
Bro. Brockman was a great sufferer. His residence for seventeen years
in Eldorado Springs, was to the end that he might live longer. His
affliction was of a peculiar nature, possibly a complication of
diseases, resulting in the loss of his eyesight about four years ago
and finally his death. During the many months of close confinement at
his home, he suffered untold pain. But the patience with which he bore
it was a marvel to everyone and notwithstnding the necessity of
administering an occasional opiate, he retained his mental vigor until
almost the last moment. He frequently conversed with his family and the
writer about dying, and quoted scripture to strengthen his own position
and encourage us. He frequently would say that he had never regretted
salvation. He was ready. It was a great satisfaction to him to have
his son and daughter with him at the last. He was always expressing
gratitude to his friends who came in to give him a word of cheer.
Brother Brockman will be missed in the home, in the church, in the
community. The world is better for his having lived in it.
His body was taken to Red Top cemetery, near Hallsville, Boone county,
Missouri, for interment. The funeral was conducted by the writer, his
pastor on Tuesday, January 29, 1907.
W. G. Hearne."
