Gust Jacobson, substantial citizen of Section 22, Cumberland Township, was
born in Iowa County, Wis., the son of a pioneer family. He was reared there
and married Clara Larson, who was also born in that county. They farmed
there until 1910, and then came to Barron County and purchased 75 acres in
Section 22, Cumberland Township. He improved the place, cleared an
additional twenty acres, and there carried on general farming and dairying
until 1919. Then he sold the farm to his son, Grover, and retired. But
after living in the city of Cumberland for eighteen months, he again longed
for farm work, so he purchased 40 acres in Section 22, Cumberland Township.
He has 20 acres under cultivation, and busies himself by raising enough
vegetables for his own use. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobson have eight children:
Grover, Helen (deceased), Clarence of Cumberland; Grace, of Minneapolis;
Lilly, at home; Ida, at home; David (deceased); and Fred, of Indianapolis.
The family faith is that of the Norwegian Lutheran Church.
