Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and those previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm Theodore Jacobson, a settler of Crystal Lake Township, was born in Norway, and came to America in 1870, locating in Minnesota. For some years he divided his time between logging and farming. He came to Crystal Lake Township, this county, in 1876, and homesteaded a tract of land in Section 28. This was all covered with heavy hardwood timber. He built a log house and barn, and started doing some clearing. In the meantime, to earn a living for himself and family, he did railroad work, and also logged in the woods. In 1902, after having partially developed his farm, he sold out and went to Dallas, Ore., where he bought a fruit farm. He died there in 1904. Since his death his wife has made her home in Portland, Ore. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pg. 379.
