Notes

According to his granddaughter, Audrey Fogarty Johnson, Jacob was a very progressive thinker. He would try anything new. He worked for Scott Feed in Hays, Pennsylvania and he was also President of Carrick Building and Loan. He ran for tax collector of Brentwood on the Republican ticket and lost. He owned a lot of property in Brentwood and he also owned a Willy's Knight.

According to the 1920 Census, Jacob worked at the jail as a "dynamo man" in 1920.

Jacob and Louise lived on Willet Road in Whitehall (then Baldwin Township) when they were first married. They then moved to 3232 Brentwood Avenue and lived there until Jacob built a house at 223 Catskill Ave., in Brentwood because his daughters, Bertha in particular, wanted a nicer house. When Jacob's daughter Bertha married, he divided the house into two apartments. Daughter Louise Green Swietzer and Alpha Swietzer and Bertha Green Henrich and George Henrich lived in the apartments and father Jacob moved to 3232 Brentwood Ave., which he owned.

Jacob was very musical: he played accordian and he had a good voice. He believed strongly in education. He was a truant officer. All of his daughters took music lessons and all of them (except Dorathea) went to secretarial school in Pittsburgh. Both he and his wife spoke and wrote German. He attended Zion Lutheran Church, Whitehall, Pennsylvania until approximately 1900, then, when Zion joined the Ohio Synod, he move to St. Paul Lutheran Church, South Side (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, a Missouri Synod Church. (The rest of the Green family apparently stayed at Zion.) He attended Trinity Lutheran Church, Mt. Oliver (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania. He was instrumental in establishing the mission which eventually became Concordia Lutheran Church in Brentwood. He, along with several others, mortgaged their homes to fund the building of that church. There was a time when this mission congregation met at the GBU or German Bund [later called Benefit] Union Hall, located in Carrick. He was President and Honorary President of Concordia Lutheran Church.

He died of pneumonia.

The following obituary was published in The Pittsburgh Press on January 8, 1943:
