Jacob Armack, A Prominent
Citizen Dies At His Home Last Tuesday.

 

Mr. Jacob Armack, one of the best known business men of this city, died at his late residence, 418 Myrtle avenue, Tuesday evening after a brief illness, aged 60 years.

 

The deceased was born in New Berne, N.C., and came to this city when quite young. He engaged in the transfer business and prospered.

 

Later he went into coal, wood, and ice business and did a thriving business. A shoe store on Eutaw street was also one of his ventures, but it was not very successful Mr. Armack giving most of his time to his coal business. His estate is said to be worth in the neighborhood of $10,000. Just what disposition he made of it will not be known until the will is red, but it is thought that the Sharp Street Memorial Church of which he was an active member and an official for many years, will benefit by his will.

 

He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Amelia Furby, and a niece, Miss Mary E. Carr, with whom he made his home, both of whom will also share in his estate.

 

His funeral took place from Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church yesterday. Rev. M. J. Naylor pastor of the church officiated assisted by a number of ministers of the city. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.
