On 18 October 1890, Anders Jacobsson, described as a native of Sweden then aged about 23 years, appeared before the clerk of the district court in McPherson co., Kansas, to declare his intention to become a citizen of the United States.[9] In his new country he adopted the English name Andrew Jacobson.

Andrew had completed the 8th grade,[5] and he was able to read and write. His native language was Swedish, but he was able to speak English.[2][4]
