her family reached the heighth of
saintdom. AS a young girl, she
devoted loving care and atten-
tion to a crippled brother, Nick,
who passed away ten years ago.
For the past six years, Paul
ines mother, Mrs. Jennie Jacob
sen, has been confined to her bed.
During all these years, Miss
Jacobsen's days and nights have
been devoted to caring for her
mother.
Born in Port Clinton, Novem-
ber 10, 1906, Pauline Jacobsen
was 42 years, nine months and
seven days of age. Surviving
