Jacobine Marie Hertzer was born in Germany in November 1867. Her name is spelled Jakobine on her gravestone and Jacobine in the papers. She married John Hirrlinger, also German-born, and they made their home in Washington, District of Columbia, where their six children were born between 1894 and 1907: Frederick, Dora, Catherine, Henry, John and Lena.

John died at their home in Bladensburg, Maryland, in November 1918, leaving Jacobine a widow at 51 with her two youngest still in school. She went back into the city. By 1925 she was living on M Street northeast, and that December thieves broke into her house and got away with clothing worth $100. Her daughter Lena was married at the M Street house in 1931.

Jacobine died at her home, 2800 M Street northeast, on Tuesday, 4 September 1934, aged 66. Her funeral went from the house to Holy Name Church, where a mass was said for her, and she was buried beside John at Prospect Hill Cemetery.
