That the people of this vicinity realize his worth, is envinced by the steady growth and increase in his business. He came to Flagstaff a little over three years ago, but in that short period has established a name for himself and his work that may well be envied.³⁷

Mr. J. C. Blake Passes Away

Mr. Jacob C. Blake passed away at the Milton hospital Saturday morning after a protracted illness. With a broken heart added to the illness wracking his body, he gradually grew worse until death relieved his sufferings.

Mr. Blake was one of nature’s noblemen, always a staunch friend in need and a citizen whose passing is a distinct loss to Flagstaff.

All that mortal hands could do was done by the Masonic lodge, of which he had been Worshipful Master, but as the casket stood strewn with flowers, there no loving voices near to call him “father,” no loving little hands to press his brow, either in desperate illness or when death had at last claimed him for its own. The ruthless hand of a moral leper had robbed him even of this one last comfort, and he died without their presence.

The funeral services were held at the Episcopal church under the direction of the Masonic lodge, and was largely attended by members of the Elks lodge, of which he was a past Exalted Ruler. Rev. Mead delivered a touching address on the character of the man who was beyond the pale of all earthly troubles, and the remains were interred in the Masonic cemetery.⁴⁹

On 21 November 2009 in Seattle, King County, WashingtonG, Joseph M Flint wrote the following

Finding the Gravesite of Jacob C. Blake

By Joseph M Flint

I found Jacob C. Blake’s obituary (above) at Northern Arizona University’s Cline Library in Flagstaff, Arizona. After getting over the shock of my great grandmother being called a moral leper on the front page of the paper, I realized that a reference had been made to Jacob C. Blake’s burial site. So I asked the staff at the library if they knew where the Masonic cemetery was located. They did not but said they would ask around.

Later that day they told me that they had determined that the Masonic cemetery was now part of Citizens Cemetery, the main non Catholic cemetery in town. This was not particularly good news as I had previously inquired of Citizens Cemetery if they had a record of Jacob C. Blake’s burial and they did not.

The next day, 17 October 2006, I was driving around Citizens Cemetery for no particular reason when I saw a sign with the Masonic square and compass and two arrows indicating an area of about a city block. I started to drive around the indicated section and for reason I cannot say I stopped the car and got out. I began what I can only describe as a “drunkard’s stagger”, wandering aimlessly from gravesite to gravesite. Within 3 minutes I walked up to of my great grandfather’s small grave marker.

Now I will admit it had been raining that day. But the instant I walked up to Jacob C. Blake’s gravesite it began to rain, it began to hail, and the wind began to blow. I have reason to believe I may have been the first family member to ever visit his gravesite. However, I am certain that Jacob wanted to be found and that I was somehow led to his final resting place.⁵¹
