Bjarni Jakobsson was born on January 12, 1889, at Bjarnastaðir in Muskoka, Ontario. He had the last name Einarson in the west.
Spouse: September 13, 1930 Pauline Grenke.
Childless.
Bjarni was the son of Jakob Einarsson and Jórunn Pálsdóttir, who settled in Muskoka, Ontario. There, Jakob opened and ran a post office called Hekkla. Jakob named the post office after the volcano Hekla. The county authorities added a k, making it Hekkla. Jakob tried his best to get this corrected, but nothing worked. Bjarni and Pauline lived in Bjarnastaðir the rest of their lives.
