Jacob was the son of Jacob and Rebecca (Hummel) Sautter of Eningen, Wurttemberg, Germany.
He was a Civil War veteran who was wounded in action at the battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia. Jacob died of a heart attack. The Waverly Watchman newspaper reads: "His remains . . . were followed to the grave by the largest funeral procession seen on our streets for a long time." It also gives the circumstances surrounding his death - "He had been in the enjoyment of good heath for some time past, and no one had ever heard him complain of any affliction. A short time before his death he left home in the best of spirits to go a short distance to the woods after an arm load of fuel. Being absent a longer time than was thought was necessary to make the trip, some one of the family went out to ascertain the cause of the delay, and they did not go but a short distance when they found the object of their search lying dead in a fence corner . . . it was evident that he struggled but very little."
