The following account of Henry Closson Jacobs was taken from the Cincinnati Commercial, of June, 1863.
"A FAITHFUL SOLDIER. Henry C. Jacobs, a private in Co. C. 5th Regiment O. Vols., who was killed in battle near Fredericksburg, Va., about the 2nd or 3d of the last month, was the second son of Enoch Jacobs, Esq., of Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio, who formerly lived in Marlborough, Vt. He enlisted in May, 1861, and had consequently been in the service two years. Since his regiment left Camp Denni- son (Cincinnati) he had not been absent from it a day until he fought his last battle. We need not speak of his deeds of personal bravery, for he belonged to a regiment of heroes. In the battle of Winchester, Henry escaped with two ball hole's in his coat. In the battle of Port Republic, only one beside himself, of all his company who were in action, escaped capture. They reached the mountains after being fired at several times, and after two days they arrived in their camp. At the battle of Cedar Mountain, the stock of his gun was shattered in'his hands by a rebel shot. He was in the battle of Antietam and South Mountain, and in over twenty considerable skirmishes."

On the night when he was 16 years old, he stood sentry in the protection of baggage belonging to the American army, a fact men- tioned to show the spirit of the boy at that age. In ad- vanced life he received his country's patronage, as a token of gratitude, and was enrolled with the veterans as a Rev- olutionary pensioner. Before the close of the war, he m.

After the declaration of peace, Mr. Jenks found himself destitute of this world's goods, but in possession of a hale constitution, great courage, and a willing mind for work.

When about to return home, Miriam, the good lady of the house, asked him to take an apple for each of his children, when she received the pleasant reply, "That I cannot do, but I can fill my pockets and cut and divide them when I get home."
