Jacobs served as a medic who parachuted into Arctic rescue situations with sled dogs, and he was awarded the Silver Star for his effort to render aid to a fighter pilot who had parachuted from his disabled aircraft. Jacobs was promoted to captain before being honorably discharged in 1945. Dr. Jacobs died of a heart attack while caring for his Appaloosa horses, which he bred as a hobby.

Hyde [of Crow Agency] talked to Bill's father, and asked him about Bill's relationship to Sitting Bull. He said, "Grandfather's cousin married Sitting Bull's daughter." Someone in Detroit had made inquiry about Bill Jacob's claims in that respect.
