Very Cool Token - Time for Some Research!!

I dug this token this past weekend in Iowa. I've done a little research and so far I found out that Bernhard M. Jacobsen was born in 1862 and died in 1936 ( one year after his golden anniversary). He was a congressman from Iowa during the depression.
I also found an article referring to his wife, Lena Trager Jacabsen.
I'm hoping to track down the family. Wish me Luck!!
It's SO cool digging finds like this!!

Don, It's a great find and a great treasure hunt to find a family member. I would also research the past owners of the house it was found at to see if any relatives lived there. You might be able to figure out exactly who dropped it! Well done sir!
