Cole Bros #11

This photo is a human interest shot catching people just being themselves at the circus. This photo was taken in 1936. The circus at that time was bigger than life. It brought people from their homes to see the majestic big top and the excitement of the performance that was held there.

I spoke with Judy Jacobs today and she told me that this little rampage took place in 1943? if her memory holds true. Also she said that her father Terrell Jacobs passed away Dec 24, 1957, and is buried in Wabash, In. Thanks Judy and Doug for this little bit of circus history that you sent.

Jacobs Winter Quarters

Posted By thecircusblog on August 15, 2012

Some time ago this photo was emailed to me. I don’t remember who sent it, but along with this photo was written Terrell Jacobs winter quarters. I had to verify that this was true , so I called Judy Jacobs it Texas. She said that her father Terrell had built this barn sometime in 1950, and that their home was directly across from the barn. So for those of you, like myself who never saw the Jacobs winter quarters here it is. Thank you who ever the person is that sent this Photo.
