Jacob Jacobsen aged 7S years died
| Thursday at Jacksonville after a long
and very painful illness. Interment
was held at the Jacksonville cemetery
Saturday and the large attendance and
the many beautiful floral offerings from
friends and relatives gave evidence of
the esteem in which Mr.. Jacobsen was
held by his fellowmen. By all who
knew him he is given the reputation OF
being the incarnation of kindness and
patience, the best qualities that can be
attributed to man. Jacob Jacobsen was
born April 18th, 1885 in Denmark. He
was married to Bertha Marie Jacobsen
in 1865. Ten children were born to
them of whom eight are living and were
| present at their fathers funeral. They
are Chris Ole, Rasmus, Jacob, James,
Clarence, Peter and Hans. A daughter
Anna died at the age of "a and another
daughter died in infancy. Jacobsen
came to this country with his family in
1880 and has resided on the homestead
miles west of Kimballton until two
years ago when he retired from farming
and moved to Jacksonville. Mrs. Jacob
sen was not able to be in the funeral
procession Saturday but is otherwise in
good health. She will move back to
the farm and keep house for her two
sons, Ole and Clarence. Rev. Nielsen
officiated at the funeral choosing the
text, Lord, now let thy servant depart
in peace" o. H. Jacobsen, Sr., is the
only brother in the U. s. of Jacob
Jacobsen.
The three year old child of Nels Mad
sens housekeeper was badly bitten by a
dog Sunday afternoon. Nothing was
known of the child's danger until it
was heard screaming and Mr.. Madsen
found it with the dog fiercely clinging
to the child's throat and mouth The
dog was finally dazed with a club so
that the child could be released, but as
soon as the dog recovered from the
blows it sprang upon the child again in
rage, but of course was driven back
DR.. Soc pronounces the danger of the
child slight at this writing. The dog
was not suffering from Hydrophobia
according to DR. Soc, which makes its
rage unaccountable as the child had
played with the dog every day prior to
the accident.
