Jacob - 

George F. Jacob, the efficient treasurer of Wabasha County, was born in 
Gillford Township, this county, October 21, 1883, son of Frederick and 
Alvina Kuhfuss Jacob. He attended the common schools of his neighborhood, 
and then entered Lake City schools, continuing his studies there until 
completing his junior year in high school. Then called home by his 
father's death, he settled his father's estate. Subsequently he continued 
farming on the home place, which he still owns, but which he now rents to 
a tenant. It consists of 240 acres of good land, well cultivated, and 
equipped with good tools and machinery. The buildings are all good and in 
good repair. In 1914, Mr. Jacob entered the employ of his brother-in-law 
John Schmauss, at Lake City. The next year he became a partner, and 
successfully continued until January 1, 1918, when he sold out to his 
partner. While farming, Mr. Jacob became known throughout the county, 
and his work at Lake City further increased his friendships. In 1918 he 
was urged to run for treasurer and after thinking the matter over 
accepted. He made a successful run, was elected, and took office January 
1, 1919, having moved to Wabasha with his family a few days previous. Mr. 
Jacob's fraternal relations are with the Masons and he belongs to the Blue 
Lodge and Commandery at Lake City. He was married November 25, 1912, to 
Clara, daughter of Henry and Katherine Tiedemann, of Lake City, and they 
have two children: Frederick H., born December 13, 1916, and Catherine A., 
March 2, 1919. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob are member s of St. Mark's Episcopal 
church at Lake City.
