Caroline Jacob

In 1869 the family moved to Mount Gambier, where her father had, controversially,[1] been appointed Clerk of Court.

[5] In December 1906 she took over Ellen Thornber's school at Unley Park, which she kept running as a separate entity for four or five years, closing in 1911.

[9] Around the time of The Great War interest in private girls' schools declined, and Caroline wound down her schools, closing first Unley Park then Tormore (which became the "Andover" block of flats), and opening a smaller campus on Barton Terrace, North Adelaide.

He helped establish his brother's cattle run "Moorooroo" on Jacob's Creek (named for William),[15] between the Lyndoch Valley and Tanunda,[8] and settled at "Woodlands", near Penwortham.

He and William took out a lease of 528 square miles (137,000 ha) at Paralana, near Arkaroola in the north of the Colony, but their stock was mostly wiped out by drought in the mid-1960s and he returned to the Barossa and for a time worked as a land agent in Mintaro.

In 1848 John Jacob married Mary Cowles (c. 1819 – 11 May 1894) at S. Mark's Anglican Church, Penwortham, the first such service in the town.
