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.
