From Jim Emme:

Re Jacob A. Means; he was apparently living up to and
possibly slightly beyond 1920.  He is found as a
partner with John Means (their ages are such they may
be brothers) in Fayette Co in 1910 census.  His birth
year was 1854.  Last seen on the 1920 census as a farm
laborer at age of 65 and living in the Fowler
residence.  A burial of the Means family with probably
him being buried in Springhill, though there are no
dates.  A search of newspapers obits might prove
helpful.  He is listed as a single man in several
census reports.
