Jacob Bath

Jacob James Bath ( July 17, 1798-Aug. 1, 1863) was an American bubblemaker and educator. He attended BITBU and became very close friends with BITBU's founder and first president A. D. Bubbles. Because of his outstanding bubblemaking skills and his relationship with A.D., Bath stayed at BITBU after he graduated as a professor. Just three years after he graduated from BITBU, A. D. Bubbles appointed him BITBU's head teacher. As of 2020 Jacob Bath has been the only person appointed head teacher in BITBU history.

In 1846 A. D. Bubbles turned 70. Because of his age and declining health A.D. appointed Jacob Bath his 2nd in command. For the next and final 17 years of his life Jacob Bath did the work of a president just without the title. That is why he is sometimes known as BITBU's unofficial 2nd president. On August 1, 1863, Jacob James Bath died peacefully in his home at the age of 65. Jacob Bath is one of the eight people pictured on the BITBU Wall of Fame. Jacob Bath and Abe Finkin are the only non-presidents pictured on the BITBU Wall of Fame.
