Jacobs, Oliver G; 1905 Bio, Eagle County, Colorado http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/eagle/bios/jacobsog.txt --------------------------------------- Donated May 2001 Transcribed by Judy Crook from the book: Progressive Men of Western Colorado Published 1905, A.W. Bowen & Co., Chicago, Ill. --------------------------------------- Oliver G. Jacobs Oliver G. Jacobs, a younger brother of Charles, and also an Eagle county ranch and stock man, was born on February 4, 1873, in Joplin, Missouri, and came to Colorado with his parents in 1878. In 1888 he located his present ranch, and on it since that time he has built up a good business in raising cattle and horses, along with a general ranching industry. He is wide-awake, enterprising and progressive, fully in touch with the spirit of his neighborhood, and one of its most esteemed citizens. In political matters he is independent, and in local affairs is warmly interested in a practical way in the advancement and improvement of the community, the county and the state. On September 29, 1893, he was married to Miss Marion Patterson, who was born on August 16, 1884, and is the daughter of John and Mary (Beggs) Patterson, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. Mr. Jacobs has been fairly successful in his operations and his place is improving in character and increasing in productiveness. Both he and his brother find Colorado a good state to live in and are well pleased with it, fervently devoted to its interest and always willing to promote its welfare and the comfort and conveniences of its people. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
