He passed away in 1902. Jacob died as a result of an accident in Cambridge. He was in the employ of his brother-in-law, William Chapman Morgan, when he was run over by a wagon of chaff that he had been driving. His wife was left a widow with one young child (a daughter, Margaret Jessie Strong).
A headstone was placed in Hautapu Cemetery where he was interred, but he is also remembered on a memorial at Bombay Presbyterian Cemetery.
