Clymene Jacobsen was born July 24, 1920 Montgomery, Iowa, the daughter of Blaine and Lillie (Johnson) Tuttle.  She was raised and educated near Spirit Lake, graduating from Spirit Lake High School.  Clymene then attended Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls, Iowa.  She worked at Dickinson County Treasurers Office in Spirit Lake for a short time before working at the ASCS Office for over twenty years, beginning in the mid 1950’s.

On January 26, 1946, Clymene was united in marriage to Jurgen Jacob Jacobsen at the Presbyterian Parsonage in Lake Park.  The couple made their home on a farm north of Lake Park, where they raised their family.  Clymene moved to Spirit Lake in 1986, following the death of her husband.  In July 2001, she moved to assisted living in Osceola, Iowa.
