	Jabez was educated at the common schools and volunteered in Co. C 7th S.C. Regiment in 1861, he was 3rd Sergeant. He was cousin to almost everyone in Co.G 14th SC. In the first day's battle at Savage Station near Richmond he was wonded and bled to death before he could be found. He was buried in soldier fashion, but it was decided by his mother and brother that his remains must rest in the Campbell grave yard. Fred Cook was sent on the mournful errand which was found hard to accomplish. The body was located and put in the coffin and the coffin was put into a larger box wherein much wheat bran was placed all around it and carried to the depot where the men were forbidden to carry southward the dead, for want of space. The negro man who was in charge declined, after some questions and answers, to allow it to be put on board, but after some benefaction offered and received, it was put on board. Thence it came down from the C&G depot toward Bradleys or Millway, where a sorrowing crowd accompanied it to the Campbell grave yard. No better close of this narration can be found than the words of his brother, Robert, when he read the telegram announcing the fatal event: 'How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, by all their country's wishes blest!'. Jabez was engaged to Ann Cook.
