Jacob B. Brockman was born in Clark county, Kentucky, December 18, 1826, and died in Eldorado Springs, MO, 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 not with standing 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 placing implicit confidence and trust in Jesus Christ and the plan of 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, MO, for interment. The funeral was conducted by the writer, his pastor on Tuesday, January 29, 1907.
