MILO JACOBS 
	Milo Jacobs is a product of Stevens county, being born here in May,
1865, and having spent his entire life here. He is one of the prosperous 
farmers of the valley and always manifests a deep interest in the affairs of 
the county and state. He is road supervisor and in this capacity is doing a 
good work. At present Mr. Jacobs is dwelling on his farm,seven miles south 
from Colville, and has a good place besides about thirty head of stock. He 
received a common schooling in his youthful days but his father died when he 
was seven and he was left to assist the widowed mother in rearing the family.
As soon as his age warranted he went to work for thew farmers near by on  
Walker's prairie and continued at that and splitting rails until 1890, when 
he took his present homestead. He erected a house and other buildings and has
done permanent improvement on it, making it a place of value. Mr.Jacobs' 
parents were George and Catherine Jacobs. The father was a native of Germany
and was one of the patriots in the Civil war and after his time of service 
had expired he was one of the brave ones who reenlisted and served through 
the entire struggle. Mr. Jacobs is very liberal in political matters, always 
reserving for his own decision the choice of men and measures best adapted 
for the country.
   In 1888 Mr.Jacobs married Miss Margaret, daughter of John and Susie
Inkster, mention of whom is made elsewhere in this work. Mrs. Jacobs is a 
native of Stevens county and was born near valley.
