Edward E Larson

   Another name for Edward was Carl Edward Larson.

  Research Notes:

Note: Note: For the most part, I have used the West FT, Census Records and findagrave to outline Edward's family.

Edward Larson, aka Carl Edward was born on 25 Sep 1874 in Otter Tail Co. His parents were Esten Larson and Kjersti Olsdtr.
Edward died on 27 Jan 1966. In 1904 he married Bertha J Anderson who was born in Norway and emigrated in 1904.
Edward and Bertha had 9 children, although 3 died within a year of their birth: Chester, Alice Leonard, baby [died young], Bernice, Lester, Signor and Eleanor [both died young], and Eleanore Catherine.

I have not researched Edward's children in any detail. ... 5 Apr 2024

1900 US Census, Tumuli Twp, Otter tail; ED 0195 sheet 3B, dw/fam 45/48
Edward Larson, b Sep 1875. age 24, farmer
Mary Larson, sister, b Apr 1874, age 26, single **
Cora Larson, niece, b Jan 1893
also: Tosten Hagen, lodger, b May 1874, farm labor

** Caution: there is another person named Mary Larson b 1862 married to Thomas Larson, with a daugther Cora b 18 Jan 1893 and a son, Bernhard
... the problem is that this Mary Larson is NOT the same as 'our' Mary Larson b 1874
... but Ten Mile Lake Lutheran church record has the birth/baptism record for Cora [no initial] b 18 Jan 1893, with parents
Maria Bothum [Mary Larson ?] and possibly, Sterner Thompson [maybe Esten ???, but hard to read] - her witnesses as
Nels Clauson and wife, Maria Bothum, Lewis Bothum [Larson?] [image 4 of the church records]
...
Is it possible that Thomas Larson and Marit [Thompson] adotped Cora or that Cora was a neice of Marit Thompson ????
