"Jacob Delay, brother of Mary Ann Delay Starr, came here in 1854, accompanied by his son Joh n Delay...the people were expecting an Indian raid and the Starrs were molding bullets. The y retired at a late hour, Jacob became ill and died. They had to travel 16 miles to Nebrask a City to obtain a coffin. He was laid to rest on a hill that is now Lafayette Cemetery."

!O.L.Snodgrass had this article in his fgs,
From newspaper clipping, paper and date unknown;
Death on Prairie Edwin Graham, who lives near Brock, tells of thrilling experiences o f his ancestors who were among the pioneers of this county. In 1854 Jake Delay came from Ill inois and filed on land north of what is now Brock. He then went back to Illinois and in th e fall of 1855 he returned to make improvements before moving his family to their new home . He was accompanied on his second trip by John Delay and David Kennison. Neither of the bo ys was yet of age. During the fall Indians became troublesome and caused them much uneasines s. One night in January they feared an attack. Mr. Delay was very ill and young Kennison sa id he would keep watch and while he acted as watchman, he put in his spare time molding bulle ts. About midnight he heard Mr. Delay, who had been asleep, make a peculiar noise and upon i nvestigating, found that Mr. Delay was dead. It was a terrible situation. Midnkight in a st range new land, surrounded by vast prairies, the howl of wolves and liable to an attack by ho stile Indians and no help nearer than Nebraska City. The long night finally came to an end a nd one of the boys drove to Nebraska City and secured a rude casket, while the other stayed a lone to keep silent watch. After the casket was brought the Kennison boy got on a horse an d rode out over the prairie to locate a burial spot. He chose for this a small hill half a m ile north of the Delay land. This hill overlooks the country for miles and here the boys mad e their lonely burial. The land was later taken up by Phillip Starr and a plot was donated b y him for cemetery purposes, and this is now called Lafayette cemetery. The story of this bu rial and other incidents that followed wasmade the subject of an article written by Mrs. Blan ch Gabus of Brock, and published in the Nebraska Farmer in 1927. Miriam Delay, a daughter o f Jake Delay married Daniel Kennison. Their first child, Miranda, married Walter Graham, an d Edwin Graham became their firstborn son. (Similar story in "Beauty - Bounty, Nemaha County ")

Based on the probate record for Jacob's estate we know that his widow was Jane and that he ha d at least four children: John, who administered his estate, and William, Elizabeth and Pheob e Malissa who are named as minors at the time of Jacobs death.
