The Pulaski Patriot, Thursday, 3 May 1877:
We were astounded to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Louis
Jaccard last week.
DIED
JACCARD—On Wednesday, April 25, at his home in Caledonia, Louis Jaccard,
aged 49 years.
Another one of Pulaski County's citizens gone! Louis
Jaccard died at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 25th,
after a short illness. He was born at Jonesboro, Illinois,
on the 17th day of February 1828, and moved to
this county in the year 1833. He married the widow Sarah B.
R. Echols, daughter of the venerable Dr. D. Arter,
universally known throughout this country. Mr. Jaccard
was kind and affectionate in his family and with his friends
and was possessed of those qualities which shine forth
transcendentally in the solid men of our country—temperance
and morality. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church
and a devoted Christian. F. B.

The Pulaski Patriot, Thursday, 24 Apr 1879:
A strange man was struck by a passenger train on the I. C.

was taken to Cairo, where he has probably died before this
time as his injuries were of a fatal character.
