Ed was born August 26, 1926 in Sims, ND to James and Alice (Hanson) Jacobson. He attended school at Sims until the age of 15 when he went to work for the Peterson brothers. Ed was drafted into the Army and served in WWII from 1944-46. Returning home, he continued to work for the Peterson brothers. On August 28, 1954 Ed married Arlene Voigt at St. Gertrude’s in Raleigh, ND. He had met Arlene while helping her family herd cattle from Elbow Woods, ND to their ranch on the Cannonball River near Raleigh, when their family was uprooted due to the construction of the Garrison Dam. Ed and Arlene lived near McIntosh, SD for five years and returned to Sims, now north of Almont, in 1960. He continued to work for Sig Peterson until 2006. Ed was active on the ranch until his death. A cowboy at heart, Ed loved ranching, Angus cattle, horses, and above all, his family.
