In 1939, he moved to Salisbury where he started a law practice and, in 1940, founded the Salisbury Jaycees. During the Second World War, he served on a US Navy destroyer in the Pacific, as well as in the Judge Adjutant General’s office.
Jacob is considered among the founders of many Salisbury organizations including Salisbury Exchange Club, the Lower Eastern Shore Genealogical Society, and the Salisbury Zoo. He also served as the President of the Wicomico Historical Society and the Wicomico County Bicentennial Commission. Jacob oversaw the moving of the Nutters District Election House to the City Waterworks property in Fruitland where it was restored and filled with his political collections.
In addition to having a law office in downtown Salisbury for many years, Jacob also kept a history research office and researched Maryland history for many years. Jacob was the author of Gravestones of Wicomico, the History of Wicomico Presbyterian Church, and five postcard history books of the lower eastern shore published by Arcadia Publishers, in addition to three other books that he co-authored.
