*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: According to California marriage and death records, Jennie Jacboson was married to John H. Sabine (not Sabina as stated.) Lena Jacobson's California death record gives her last name as Markussen.

Edward Andrew Jacobson was married to Otilia Stokke/Stokka. Frank Stokka of Chicago is, no doubt, a relative of the widow.
