In 1881, Thomas was employed in the stamp mill for the Empire Mine in Plymouth. While fitting a shoe to one of the stamps, the stamp for an unknown reason dropped and caught both his hands, mashing and crushing the thumb and index finger of the right hand requiring amputation of the thumb and index finger. The thumb and index finger of the left hand were broken only. Thomas did not recover from his injuries. Thomas died on Friday May 20, 1881 and was buried in the IOOF cemetery. (Source: May 1881issues of the Amador Dispatch newspaper in columns "Letter From Plymouth," dated May 12th, 19th and 26th. A memorial tribute was also published in the May 26th issue.) The family story is that he died from blood poisoning(Tetnus).

Letter from Plymouth dated May 12, 1881
Quite a serious and painful accident occurred with Thos. Jacks, one of the employers of the Empire Mill, on last Monday morning whilst fitting a shoe to one of the stamps, the stamp by some means dropping and catching both his hands between the shoe and die, mashing and crushing them in such a manner as to render the amputation of the index finger and thumb of the right hand and breaking the index finger and thumb of the left hand. The operation was performed by Dr. Smith and he expresses hopes of saving the broken thumb and finger of the left hand.

Letter from Plymouth dated May 26, 1881 (Obituary)
Died.--At his residence in this place on Friday the 20th, after a brief but painful illness Mr. Thos. Jacks, a native of Canada aged 34 years, 4 months. Mr. Jacks was an industrious, honorable and upright citizen; a devoted husband and companion, an industrious father, and, in fact, in him were combined all those rare qualities and virtues; that make a true friend and neighbor, and the large procession of sorrowing friends that followed his remains to their last resting place in the Odd Fellow's Cemetery attested but too well the high esteem and appreciation in which he was held. He was laid away under the beautiful services of the I. O. O. F., of which he was an honored and worthy member. He leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss.
