Obituaries of Jacob Auxer

Frank J. Faesig

Jacob Auxer was the brother of my great-great-great-great grandfather, Michael Auxer, Jr. Jacob was born in Elizabethtown, Lancaster County in 1781, two years before Michael. He outlived Michael by almost 50 years. This little blurb that appeared in the Lancaster Intelligencer on Wednesday Morning, October 3, 1866, is all I can find that even faintly resembles an obituary. Obituaries of Jacob's immediate family are also on this page.

FRANK J. FAESIG

The husband of Cecelia, shows another variation of the spelling of the surname. The name appears as either spelling in a variety of records. This was found in the Philadelphia Inquirer on March 8, 1919:
