SCHORN:  At his residence in St. Paul, Minn. Jan. 10, of paralysis of the brain, Jacob [Schorn] son of Joseph and Matilda Schorn of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], aged 27 years.

Death of a Good Man:  Under this caption the St. Paul (Minn) Press has the following:

"Jacob Schorn, a tobacconist at no. 74 West Third street, died of paralysis of the brain, on the morning of January 10th.  Mr. S. was a good man, industrious, a kind neighbor, and a devoted husband.  He died at the age of 28 years, leaving a young wife and three children.  He came to this country in 1857 and has been in business in St. Paul about eight years.  He was a member of the German society, which association, with the tobacconists of this city escorted the body to Minneapolis."

Jacob was the second son of Joseph Schorn senior of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].  He was born in Germany and came to this country with his parents in 1852.  He resided in this village, until during the war when he enlisted in the 22d cavalry regiment, and served with honor and credit until the close of the war when he was mustered out with the regiment at Rochester.  he then returned to this village and set up in the cigar business, which he followed until he moved west some years since.  He was while here always a favorite with his companions, and indeed with all who knew him he was always commended for his kind and generous disposition. We are glad to know that those traits which he developed here, gained for him troops of friends in the west and gave him success in business when others were not so fortunate.  His many friends here regret his early decease.  He leaves a wife and three children.
