Born Near Cedar Bluffs Theodore Jepsen, son of the late Hans and Christina Jepsen, was born March 19, 1892, on a farm near Cedar Bluffs where he resided until he was of school age, at which time he, with his parents, moved into Cedar Bluffs. They later moved to a farm six miles northwest of Platte Center to live for a few years, but due to his mother's serious illness they left the farm and returned to Cedar Bluffs where his parents spent the remainder of their lives. He was baptized into the Lutheran faith by Rev. August Leutherrsen at St. Mathew's Lutheran church near Cedar Bluffs, and on April 8, 1906, he was confirmed in the same church by Rev. F.W. Daberkaw. During the year of 1900 he, with his parents, took a voyage to Europe, to visit relatives in the countires of Germany and Denmark. Started Farming He received his education at Cedar Bluffs grade school and high school. At the age of 21, he left his home to occupy the farm six miles northwest of Platte Center, which was then owned by his father, and had since resided there. On february 23, 1916, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna H. Griepentrog at the Zion Lutheran church, four miles northwest of Platte Center by Rev. Otto Keyle. To this union were born four children, Harvey W., Orville T., Myrtle Ann and Evva Jane. He was a faithful and devout member of the Lutheran church throughout his life, being a member of St. Mathew's Lutheran church at Cedar Bluffs when a young man and transferring that membership to the Evangelical Zion Lutheran church, Missouri synod, when moving to the Platte Center vicinity. He held the office ____ of the church for 22 years, being chairman for the past five years.

He was affiliated with the A.A.A. for about 12 years, serving as chairman for several years. During World War II he served as chairman of the agricultural war board. After resigning from the A.A.A. work he was appointed chairman of the OPA price ceiling panel of Platte county. He also helped to organize the Platte county agricultural farm. For many years he served as advising director of the F.S.A. He was never strongly connected with either the democratic or the republican parties, due to the fact that for several years he was chairman of the non-partisan league of Platte County.
