  LifeSketch	Died, in Waldoboro, Nov 3d, 1858, Col. Jacob Ludwig, aged 82 years Col. Ludwig was of German descent. His father, Capt, Jacob Ludwig, was one of the German emigrants who settled at Waldoboro in 1748, was an orderly sergeant in the French and Indian wars, commanded a company in the war of the Revolution, and was the first representative from Waldoboro to the General Court of Massachusetts. He was a Lieutenant in the War of 1812, in later life was styled a colonel (p. 396 Broad Bay Pioneers) Col. Ludwig had but few early advantages of education; possessing a strong and active mind, he improved every opportunity to obtain knowledge. He frequently represented Waldoboro both in the Legislature of Massachusetts and of Maine. He was one of the selectmen of the town for more than a quarter of a century, and a deputy sheriff more than thirty years. Candid and decided in the expression of his opinions, prompt, fearless and judicious in the discharge of duty. Highly respected as a citizen, few men, in any community, have received and retained for so long a time the confidence of the people. Practically benevolent and public spirited, ever giving his influence on the side of virtue, morality and religion. Many who have enjoyed his society abroad, or partaken of the cheerful hospitalities of his house, will remember his manly form, gentlemanly bearing, general conversation, and the fund of useful information he was ever ready to impart. As a husband, father and friend he possessed those amiable, kind and endearing qualities which make happy and joyous the domestic qualities which make happy and joyous the domestic circle. As a christian, he exemplified the religion of Jesus more by his consistent life and conversation than by any outward profession. The infirmaties of age came gradually upon him. He remarked, a few weeks previous to his death, that his faculties were impaired, his usefulness ended; he was now ready and waiting his summons to depart. His last sickness was short; the day before his death he walked in his fields, apparently as well as usual. His work all done - life well spent - the summons came - and he has gone to rest awhile, that he may be present at the resurrection of the just.
