Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address on the Life, Character, and Services of Com; Jacob Jones: Delivered in Wilmington Tuesday, December 17, 1850 During the latter part of the life-time of the late Commodore Jacob Jones, he frequently expressed a desire that his body might finally repose beneath the soil of his native State, for which state he had always, during his eventful career, manifested the strongest regard and deepest attachment. When, therefore, the intelligence of his death had been received in the city of Wilmington, the citizens immediately determined to adopt such measures as would enable them to comply with his often expressed wish, and which would at the same time present them with an opportunity to exhibit that respect and gratitude for him which a long life of brilliant and meritorious services in the defense of his country, had so eminently entitled him. In pursuance of this intention, application was made through Lieut. J. P. Gilliss, U. S. Navy, to the family of the deceased, to permit the mortal remains of the illustrious Commodore to be removed to the State of Delaware: the Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery Company having voluntarily and generously offered a lot in their cemetery grounds for the final resting place of the remains of this distinguished officer. The family having readily acquiesced in the removal, accordingly on the 26th day of October, 1850, the last sad and solemn ceremonies were performed with appropriate civic and military honors.
