Born about 1823 in Perry Co., Ohio. Married Eliza Weathers, 11 Jan 1848, Perry Co., Ohio. Had three children: Joseph, John H. and James W. They were living in Hopewell Township in 1850, Thorn Township in 1860 and Liberty Township, Licking County, in 1870 and 1880. That is where Jacob died, according to this announcement in the Johnstown Independent of Thursday, 28 Jan 1892:
Jacob Mechling who has been living on the Geo. Roberts farm, north of here, for several years, died last Friday after a short illness. He was 68 years old and died of softening of the brain. The remains were shipped to his old home at Thornville. He was a fine old gentleman.
This article does not specify a cemetery, but his wife's funeral notice does say she was buried in the Lutheran Reformed Cemetery, so I assume they're buried together, though there is no stone to mark their resting place.
