This picture of Jacob Singer, Jr. is believed to have
been taken c. 1870-1875. Jacob was the son of Franz Jacob
and Magdelena (Zwick) Singer. Jacob has nearly 200 known
descendants. Portions of Jacob's jacket have been retouched
in the photo below.

A handwritten note on the back of the tintype photo says "Jacob
Singer III." (Although Jacob's grandfather was named Franz
George Singer, some sources suggest that he went by the name
Jacob.) Photo provided by Jacob's great-great granddaughter,
Tracie Singer Dunn, of Paris, KY. |
