I am looking for information on my grandfather and his family. This is what I know about him.
Arnold Byron Jacobs b. Feb 29,1920 in Newcastle, Dixon County, Nebraska. His parents are Art B. Jacobs and Lilly Willowby. He may have these siblings; Jack, Marian, and Virginia. Arnold had moved to Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa with his family sometime in the early 1930's.
He was in the CCC and was drafted straight into World War II. He served for 22 years and was stationed at Fort Ryle, Kansas and in Schweinfurt, Germany in the early 1950's. He was married 2times; first to my grandmother Dorthy Waldum in the late 1940's and second to Mabel Luce in 1971. After he was retired from the Army he went back and lived the rest of his life in Sioux City, Iowa where he died January 06, 1975
If anyone can help me with Arnold's second wife or with his parents and siblings it would be sooooo greatly appreciated!

BOSTWICK, MARTINSON, SEVERSON, LAKE, STUKAS
05/27/02
BOSTWICK, MARTINSON, SEVERSON, LAKE, STUKAS - My grandfather Guy Bostwick (born April 15, 1880) was born in New York state but came to the Ponca area with his family in the late 1880's or early 1890's; the family then moved to Minn.
He later returned and is found in the 1900 census boarding in Ionia. On Jan. 1, 1906 he married Christina MARTINSON in Lime Grove, her parents were Christian and Gunda Maria (OLSON) MARTINSON.
Maria had relatives in the Lime Grove area by the name of SEVERSON. Guy had an uncle by the name of George LAKE who married Alice AUSTIN in Ponca in the 1890's. Guy's sister Annice married a STUKAS and had several children: Harold, Mary Jane and others. Guy's brother Frank married Irene STUKAS and they had Bill, Norwin, and Etta.
Guy and Christina ran a hotel in Newcastle for a short time in the early years of their marriage. He was a carpenter by trade and worked in the Newcastle and Ponca area besides traveling to Sioux City and other places.
The family lived in Sioux City several times but mainly lived south (?) of Maskell, out towards the Chris Martinson farm. They had six children: Victor, Howard, Francis, Charlotte, Hugh and Orin. I know my Bostwick family but would appreciate stories about them.
Thank you for any help. Mary Ann
