Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Jacob Rogers (Spouse 1)
His death certificate says he was born in Upper Paxton and his parents were Daniel Martz and Sarah Seibert and both of them were born in Berks County.
Mary Hannah, as it says in the county history, was buried in Millersburg. There is a very nice monument there for her and it includes the names and dates of their two sons, both of whom died young. The monument has Jacob’s name and his birth date on it — but it is not where he was buried. Jacob died in 1928 (his tombstone says 1929) and he was buried in Hummelstown.
