Jacob Harbach died ...date not given. Age not given. Occupation Mason (will be father's occupation.) Where born not given. Cause of death croup. Physician and informant George Nieumen, or Nieumeier, Normanby.
Returned by informant on May 12, 1879.

Page of six deaths are all returned by same doctor and all have missing information. Township clerk, William Ryan, expresses frustration in notes at bottom to effect that forms for medical men are useless.

Bruce & Grey Counties branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society provides a transcription for St. Paul's Evangelical Luthern Cemetery in Normanby Township and this records the inscription on Jacob's gravestone. It tells that he died May 10, 1879, at age 9 months and 4 days. This computes to a birth date of August 6, 1878, which may be accurate, but, at worst, close. There is no evidence that he is buried with a family member. It does, however, tell us that he was the son of Peter and Catharina Harbach, which is an improvement on the death registration.

This tree does show Jacob as being born in Normanby. This is not a certainty, but sufficiently likely as to enter his place of birth as such.
