Jacob Johnson, farmer, Chetek, Barron county, was born in Denmark, January 1, 
1852, the oldest son of Paul and Boel Johnson, who immigrated to America in 
1867, and first settled in Winnebago county, on a farm, where they resided 
four years, then moved to the Chippewa Valley, and settled on a homestead in 
section fifteen, Chetek township, where they still reside.  Our subject made 
his home with his parents until May 8, 1881, when he married Lizzie M. Parks.  
After his marriage he settled on a homestead of 160 acres in the same section 
as his father.  He has since added forty acres to his farm and has about sixty 
acres unimproved.  He is also largely engaged in stock raising, having eighty 
sheep and a goodly number of blooded cattle.  His first wife having died, he 
married Martha Olson, of Chetek, October 5, 1890.  In politics our subject is 
a straight republican, and has held the office of supervisor four years and 
has been school treasurer ten years.
