• Biography: History of Fillmore County, MN, 1912, Fillmore County, MN. BOOK - HISTORY OF FILLMORE COUNTY, MN., VOLS. 1 & 2, PUBLISHED IN 1912. Jacob Agrimson and his wife, Inger (Hanna), were born in Norway in 1831, and there they spent the early years of their lives, attended school and were later married. In 1854 they left the land of their birth and crossed the ocean to the United States. After their arrival in this country they came west to Wisconsin, where they made their home for seven years. In 1861 they came to Minnesota and settled in Fillmore county, breaking land and developing a farm in Arendahl township. During the Civil War the failure of a bank in which Mr. Agrimson had deposited his savings deprived him of the money which his years of toil and industry had accumulated. This was a severe blow to Mr. Agrimson, but he worked on with even greater energy than before and as the years passed again became the owner of a comfortable home and farm. To himself and estimable wife three sons were born, of whom Andreas J., the eldest, is now a prosperous farmer of Arendahl township; Jacob J. is also a resident of Arendahl and resides on section fourteen, and John, the youngest, owns a farm in the same township.

Jacob married Inger Gundersdtr. (Inger Gundersdtr was born on 27 Mar 1837 in Norway and died on 21 Apr 1922 in Fillmore County, MN ².)
