Babe Bors Heiress Story Arose From Princetons Jersey Hotel
The tale recounts a baby girl born at a Bureau Junction hotel near Henry after English parents fell ill. Adopted by John Jacobson, she later received funds from London. Conflicting reports later revised the story, noting the girl, Lillie Jacobson, was raised by Jacobson’s family and later affluent, with payments from her adoptive parents rather than English relatives.
