  • Notes 
    • The birth date and place of Christena Sernia (Lovina) Amelia Jacobsen was personally supplied by her at the time she took out her own (living) LDS Endowment, which took place in the Endowment House (Salt Lake City, Utah) on 8 September 1881. At this time, Christena stated that she was born on 9 November 1862 in Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah; that she was baptized into the LDS Church in 1871, and that her parents were Frederick Jacobsen and Elizabeth Petersen. (See: FHL "Special Collections" Film # 183408, page 205.)

      Brief History of Christena (Christiana) Sernia (Lovina) Amelia Jacobsen, written by Rulon Robert (Bob) Osmond, a great-grandson, in February 2009:

      Christiana Lovina Amelia Jacobson
      Amelia was born 9 November 1861 in Brigham City, Utah to Fredrick Jacobson Sr. and Elizabeth Pedersen. Her childhood was not easy because her mother never was strong and she had to become the mother at an early age.
      On the 8th of September 1881 she married George Osmond, and while they lived in Bloomington, Idaho, James Arthur, William Archer and Vosco were born. In December of 1890 George was called to return again to England to serve a second LDS mission. This meant two more long, lean and lonely years for Amelia.
      She was a wonderful housekeeper and kept her children immaculate. She helped care for and comfort her lonely and aging mother whose husband had deserted her.
      When George returned from his mission in 1892 he was immediately called to go to Star Valley, Wyoming, to preside over the new LDS stake created there. Amelia now was called to leave the land of her childhood, her new home, her widowed mother, her brothers and her childhood friends and go with her husband and her three small sons to preside over his home while he presided over the new Star Valley Stake.
      Living in Star Valley at that time was very hard. When they first arrived they lived in a one room house with a dirt roof. When it rained or the snow melted she used pots, pans and umbrellas to keep the water off of the dirt floor. In the spring they found a better house. The village blacksmith moved out of his shop and let them live in it. It had shingles and kept the water out but it still had a dirt floor and she could never get the smell out no matter how much she dug it out. The second winter found them living in a new house which was clean, warm with no leaks or bugs.
      In 1893 a fourth son, Rulon, was born which brought their children to four. With their little family and all of the friends and visitors (both political and ecclesiastical) that George had (and with no hotels or restaurants nearby), as well as always helping those in need, Amelia always seemed to be preparing food and beds for everyone.
      Elizabeth Mary was born in 1896, and three years later--in 1899--Leona was born in 1899. In 1901, Wesley--their last child--was born.
      Throughout the years Amelia saw that her children attended church and helped others. President Osmond was so very busy that many times she had to attend meetings with her sons. She was a faithful Relief Society teacher and was in the Stake Primary Presidency for many years. She did everything she could to help others and often repeated a statement of her mother “No one will ask how long it took to do it, but how well it was done”. She was very independent, would not impose on others, rarely if ever asked for a favor, and seldom accepted one.
      Amelia’s lungs were never strong and she suffered at times with pneumonia which brought about real trials with little children. She also suffered with ulcers on her legs which seemed to be incurable. An experimenting doctor cut the veins in her legs and “bled her” which was a very cruel act and caused her untold agony throughout her life. She was left a widow when she was 51 years old and her youngest child was twelve years old.
      In her sixty’s Amelia moved to Logan, Utah, where she lived close to her son Arthur. She enjoyed spending time with Arthur, especially when he came home from working in the temple. From the 1920's until her death in 1946, she spent much of her time visiting and living with her children and grand children, who loved her very much.
      Amelia Osmond was the mother of five sons and two daughters, eighteen grandchildren and thirty four great grand children. All of her descendants are Latter Day Saints and are the kind of people she would be proud to claim as her own.
