  Jakob emigrated to Australia either late 1865 early 1866 and settled at Sunbury. Soon after his arrival he changed his name by spelling it in the Anglo manner ie; JACOB BENZLEY. He kept vineyards at "The Gap". His first vineyard at "Bald Hill", of ten acres which included a house, adjoined to a larger property owned by William Ross (adoptive parent of Amelia Bone Ross, the only daughter of John Bone Miller and Amelia Medland Phillips). It is possible that he managed this property before acquiring his own.
  Just before Jacob's death, ( two days earlier ) he had slashed his throat and left wrist with a knife. Jacob "took leave of himself" at the Melbourne Hospital on the 21st January 1880 aged 39 years.
  A surgeon testified the when the patient arrived at the Hospital he was unable to swallow and thet intense lung congestion preceded his death.
  Jacob was very community minded as were most of the Boenzli's. Jacob was very involved with the Presbyterian church.
  Jacob is buried in a nameless grave in the Sunbury Cemetery, in the Church of England section and not the Presbyterian. The grave is not easly found, no tombstone, no christian burial. It has been suggested that a broken pillar was originally placed above his grave because he ended his life before he was "called".
