Daughter of Asmus Jacobsen and
Anna Gregersen Jacobsen
From the Jacobsen Genealogy of Anna Jacobsen Carlson (1896-1981, FIndagrave Memorial #160816174):
"christina Jessine Helena Jacobsen, ninth child of Asmus and Anna Jacobsen was born October 14, 1880 at Frastrup, Denmark. When this tiny baby was born, it was decided that she should be named in rememberance of her two sisters and brother who all passed away at such early ages. So she was christened Christina Jessine Helena. Her schooling was obtained a Varmin, Denmark. Two brothers and three sisters were now in America, so she and her parents immigrated in the year of 1892 so they all might all be together. Her employment for a number of years was domestic work, some of the homes being William Nielsen's of Rutland, Jim Wiuffs, who resides in Humboldt, IA and several other homes. On February 27, 1903 she married Henry T. Christensen. Although I was only a small child (at) the time of Aunt Stina's wedding, I still remember it very well. Services were at the Danish Methodist Church at North Maple Grove and the wedding dinner was served at our home near Bradgate, Iowa. They were married by Rev. Ole Nelsen. She has been a sweet mother, a woman who understands toil, a character that is priceless."
The short biography in the referenced genealogy concludes with a phrase taken from the poem "The Princess" by Alfred Lord Tennyson which reads:
Great deeds cannot die;
They with the sun and moon renew their light
For ever, blessing those that look on them.
