  19. ↑ A "Certificate of Naturalization" is dated 4 Oct 1899, and another "Naturalization Certifcate" has an additional date of 28 Oct 1899. They are different documents but essentially identical wording except for the final date. One might be a "copy" of the original and dated with the date it was copied. Both documents state that on 4 Oct 1899, Jakob Ottenbacher appeared in Circuit Court for Campbell County, South Dakota and applied to be admitted to become a citizen of the USA. Two men, George Beck and Gottfried Bauer, testified on his behalf. It was ordered that he be permitted to take the oath. The oath was administered, and the Court ordered that he be admitted to all the rights, privileges and immunities of a naturalized citizen of the United States. The difference in the substance of the two documents is in the last paragraph where the two different dates appear where the Clerk of Court subscribes his name and affixes the Seal of the Court.

  21. ↑ Two copies of Naturalization Certificates, dated October 1899, are included in the Homestead File. Application No. 11800, by Jakob Ottenbacher of Eureka, SD, dated 25 Feb 1901, for entry of the West Half of the North West Quarter, South East Quarter of the North West Quarter and the North West Quarter of the South West Quarter of Section 10 in Township 126 North, of Range 74 West, of the 5th Principal Meridian, containing 160 acres. His signature is on the application as well as on an affidavit, dated the same day, at Circuit Court for Campbell County, Mound City, South Dakota. The Affidavit states that owing to the distance, he is prevented from making the affidavit [and application] before the Land Office at Aberdeen, SD. The Application was certified at the Aberdeen Land Office on 27 Feb 1901. Jakob signed a Non-Mineral Affidavit the same day stating that, to his knowledge, there were no mineral deposits on his claim. He paid the $14 fee for the entry of the claim, and a Receiver's Receipt was dated 27 Feb at Aberdeen.
    On 22 March 1907, Jakob gave notice of his intention to make final proof to establish his claim on 16 May 1907 before the Clerk of Circuit Court at Mound City, SD. He named four potential witnesses. Subsequently, notice was posted in the Register's office for 30 days begining 2 Apr 1907 and published for six consecutive weeks in The Northwest-Blade, a weekly newspaper published in Eureka in McPherson County, SD. The first publication was made 4 Apr 1907 and the last on 9 May 1907. The publication fee amounted to $6.
    On the appointed day, 16 May 1907, Jakob appeared in court, and several documents contain his signature: a Non-Mineral Affidavit stating that there are no mineral deposits on the land; a Final Affidavit Required of Homestead Claimants; his Homestead Proof Testimony; and a letter of Deposition to the Court regarding lack of water on his claim. He stated therein that he established residence on the land in July 1901 but that he built no barn on his claim and had not kept his personal property there, such as stock, because he could not get water. He further stated that he kept his cattle, farm machinery, etc. on land which he owned adjoining the homestead. He dug a well 28 feet deep on the homestead and then another 32 feet deep, neither producing any water. For that reason, he did not put a barn on that land or keep his stock there, but kept them on his adjoining land where he had a well and enough water for his family and livestock. He further stated that he had the homestead land all fenced with the other land he owned with good two barbed wire fence; that he also had this land cross fenced and used forty acres of the homestead for paturing his cattle; and that he had thirty two acres of the homestead land broke and under cultivation and used the balance of the land for hay. Johann Stabler and Adam Schick testified for his Homestead Proof. Jakob testified that he was age 63 with and address of Eureka, SD and was a naturalized citizen of the U.S. He was married and his family consisted of his wife and nine children of which three were still at home with him. He further testified that he built his house on the land in June 1901 and established his residence there on 15 Jul 1901 and had lived there continuously since. His house was of sod, 18X42. He had 32 acres broke, all fenced with other land with a two barbed wire fence. Total value of improvements: $471. He had 24 acres broke in 1901 and had it in crop each year and broke 8 acres more "last year and had that to crop last year also." He stated that the land was ordinary farm land for pasture and farming. He paid the $4 balance due for the land entry. The Receiver's Receipt indicates that a $2 testimony fee was received for 1333 words at a rate of 15 cents per 100 words.
    Final Certificate No. 6210 was issued 22 May 1907 entitling him to a patent on the land. It was approved 18 Sep 1907; patended 10 Oct 1907; Recorded, Vol. 669, Page 413; Land Office at Aberdeen, South Dakota.
