From The News-Herald, Morganton, NC, 9 January 1908:
"Mr. Jacob DeVault, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Burke county, died at his home, in Linville township, last Monday morning at 7 o'clock, at the age of 92 years and 4 months, and was buried at Glen Alpine Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
"Deceased leaves 3 sons and 3 daughters, all respected, useful citizens. The wife died several years ago.
"After a long, busy and useful life Mr. DeVault died as he had lived, a thorough christian, and honored, trusted, and loved. He reared his own monument while he lived in the hearts of all who knew him."
The Morganton Herald mentioned Mr. DeVault's hobby in an article published 27 November 1890:
"Mr. Jabob DeVault of LInville, is quite an antiquary in his way, and he has a very interesting collection of quaint and curious articles that were used in ages long past. He paid us a visit last week and exhibited some Indian pipes, cut out of stone, and curiously carved and polished. One of the pipes was jet black and was so highly polished that it glistened like ivory. It was picked up on an island in the Catawba River. A stone knife and an ancient leaden sugar spoon found on the site of an old Revolutionary house were among his treasures. Mr. DeVault carried a walking stick cut in Washington county, Tenn. from the famous beech tree in whose bark Daniel Boon (sic) inscribed a loconic (sic) account of his big bear fight."
