Mr. Jacob Rutsen Schuyler, who was the senior member of the firm of Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, died at his home at Bergen Point, yesterday. He was stricken with paralysis several months ago and never recovered. Last week he fell, injuring his head, and the shock caused his death. The deceased, who was seventy years old, amassed a fortune during the war by furnishing military equipment. When the city of Bayonne was incorporated in 1869 he was selected as one of the Town Council and was first president of the Board of Council. He resigned two years later. The deceased was a lineal descendant of Philip Pieterus Van Schuler, who left Amsterdam, Holland, in 1653 and settled at Fort Orange. His mother was a member of the Van Rensselaer family. Mr. Schuyler married a Miss Sarah Edwards, a descendant of Jonathan Edwards. She died about ten years ago. Mr. Schuyler never married again. He leaves two sons and four daughters, all of whom except two are married. One daughter, the youngest but one, was to have been married next Tuesday. Mr. Schuyler was one of a large family, but only one sister survives him. The widow of his oldest brother is living in the old family homestead at Belleville, New Jersey. (English)
