after reaching Virginia, in compliance
with a promise made by
General Hampton, this company was
converted into artillery,being thence
known as Bachman's battery, Hampton's
Legion. This was perhaps the
in *llfl ontiro ormv in
uuiy vrUIIJtMUJjr m nit viivuv ?.?
which there were no promotions,
the captain persistently refusing all
promotions on account of not wanting
to leave his company. The new
artillery company was attached to
the Washington Light Artillery,
Hampton's Legion, making a battalion
under command of Stephen D
Lee. Mr Jacobs served with his
company until the close of the war,
and in the army of Northern Virginia
Until the battle of Gettysburg.
In this engagement they lost so
many men that they were sent
back to South Carolina for the purpose
of recruiting. After this they
served along the South Carolina
coast in e great many engagements
until the evacuation of Charleston,
when they were sent to join Joseph

lina. They remained with his army
until after the battles of Averysboro
and Bentonville, when the company
was detached and sent to escort
Gen James Conner to Camden, S C,
and reinstate him in his command
at that place. Upon arrival at Camden
the news was received of Johnston's
surrender at Greensboro, and
the members of the company were
furloughed, with the understanding
that the war was over and they
would not have to report again.
Th? mar hpinor now dosed. Mr
Jacobs was paroled at Charleston,
and soon came to Kingstree, where
he engaged in business, first as a
clerk and next on his own acconnt.
In 1870 he was elected Probate Judge
of Williamsburg county, serving six
years, and in 1876 was elected Sheriff
and filled that office four years.
Next he was appointed chief inspector
of customs for the port of Charleston,
which position he resigned
after two years to accept a lucrative
place as bookkeeper. In 1895 he
returned to Kingstree and engaged

and Dr Clarence D, Kin^stree; Mrs
Barbara G Nexsen, Asheville, N C;

Mr Jacobs was a member of Camp
Pressley, U C V, at Kingstree.
While in the army of Northern Virginia
he was in all the prominent
battles, beginning with the Seven
Days' fight, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg,
Wilderness and Gettysburg.
At the latter battle his company
was on the extreme right of the
Confederate line and was completely
surprised by a detachment of Kilpatrick's
Federal cavalry, who had
broken through the skirmish lines;
but they repulsed the cavalry and
saved the Confederate wagon trains,
for which they received the thanks
oi ueneraj i^ee.
The funeral services of the Hebrew
faith were held at the home of the
family at 10 o'clock, conducted by
Rabbi Isaac Marcusson of Charleston,
after which all that was mortal
of the true father, friend and citizen,
Mr Louis Jacobs, was laid to
rest in a grave by the side of that
of his cherished wife in the Williamsburg
cemetery in the solemn
presence of a large concourse of
friends and Masonic brethren, who
attended in a body, Wednesday
morning.
Mr Jacobs was a prominent Mason,
and to his work and influence the
existence of the Kingstree lodge is
greatly indebted. But some time
? ? ^ La <*aai1aaf/vl f Lnf

only the ode of the Masonic burial
service be recited, and this was done
while the grave was being filled.
About the casket was draped the
old company flag of Bachman's battery,
as a member of which Mr
Jacobs had so faithfully served his
adopted Southland. Although many
times rent with shot and shell, and
discolored by time, Mr Jacobs cherished
this old emblem of the past,
and the color-bearer of his company,
Mr A W .lagers, who now owns the
flag, brought it here to place upon
the bier of his departed comrade.
The unusually large and beautiful
floral tributes served as a small testimonial
of the love and esteem in
which the deceased was held by the
people of the community and his
fraternal brethren, and the mem
bers of the order of the Eastern
Star, of which he was also a true
friend and supporter.
The ritualistic services of the
Jewish church at the house were
profoundly impressive and the discourse
of Rabbi Marcusson on the
life of Mr Jacobs was eloquent and
appropriate. At the grave ,be simply
committed the body to the earth.
