Mrs. Clarence O. Jacobson
(Lois Huffman)
(1905-1998)
            Lois Jacobson, was born January 19, 1905, in Harvey County, Newton, Kansas, daughter of William Lincoln and Ophelia Huffman. Here she was raised and received her schooling.
 
            On June 5, 1924, Lois married Clarence Jacobson. They moved to Fayetteville, Ark., where "Jake" was a professor at Ark. U. Here they  affiliated  with  the Central Methodist Church.

            Mrs. Jacobson learned about the Woman's Missionary Society, first when they presented their daughter, Janice Sue, with a baby membership, the Society's youngest "member". In 1941, moving to Little Rock. Ark., they joined the Pulaski Heights Methodist Church. Here she joined the W.S.C.S. and supported their activities. When Jake changed his work to the American Dairy Association, the Jacobsons moved to Midwest City and became affiliated with Wickline Methodist Church, a town only four years old, and Wickline barely three years old.
 
            Immediately Lois Jacobson became a member of the WSCS. She fell heir to the office of publicity chairman, with one of her duties being to prepare a column for the weekly newspaper. She typed and published their yearbooks each year. She served as secretary of the executive committee, and secretary several terms of her circle. She served on the "ways and means" committee helping with the money making projects. Working with the membership committee she encouraged many women of the church to participate in the Society. She prepared and presented many devotionals. Interested in the spiritual life area of the work she organized prayer chains, which have continued through the years.
 
            In the church she began working as the church secretary and being the recording secretary of the official board. She served many years as Superintendent of the Kindergarten Department. She became an accredited lab teacher for the Methodist Church, teaching in various churches in Oklahoma in this area.
 
     She kept in touch with the Boy Scouts and the FHA. Duties as a homeroom mother were mostly carried out because her son had "Volunteered his Mother."
 
            Lois Jacobson was a true friend, a dedicated Christian, a joy to know. The spirit of love shone through her eyes.
