MOMS....... married 1942 Carlton Co - just to the south of Duluth

BUT: MOMS... also has a record for a marriage: Irene Anderson on 2 Nov 1927 to George R Scott, Koochiching Co [cert, E 381]
- this corresponds to a record from Bethany Lurtheran Church, Loman, image 42 and 44 - records her mother and siblings records her name as, "Irene Anderson Scott", International Falls
- no record of marriage at Loman or First Lutheran Bethel at International Falls (see link from sister, Florence Lillian)

** I cannot prove if this is the person named George Robert Scott, but - WW 2 draft living in International Falls and wife Mary as contact

OBIT: Samuel J Larson, Arizona Republic (Phoenix), issue 7 Jun 1985, p 90
- died 5 June 1985 at age 77
- moved to Arizona 12 yrs ago [1973] from MN where he was born
- survived by wife Irene, daughter Rita Bagley ....

- Samuel Larson was first married to Loiz Arlee Little [1908-1975]
- they were married 1928; findagrave records one son, David Larson (1928-1979)
- and findagrave, notes that his first wife, remarried to Charles Graham Bradford. In the 1940 US Census, Grand Lake, St Louis Co, ED 69-64 : Charles G Bradford, age 47, wife Loiz A, age 32, David A Larson age 11 and Rita G Larson age 9 [1931], recorded as son and daughter and lived at the same house in Apr 1935. And then, in the 1930 Census, Duluth (ED 80), Lois Larson [Loiz] is living with her parents [William and Ruby Little) and her son, David Larson [grandson to head of household], age 1 yr and 5 months [1928]. This record records Lois[z] as married.
But where is Samuel Larson ??? - there is a record [1930 US Census, Duluth 74, sheet 5A] that he is with his parents [Nels and Gerda Larson] ?? and Samuel Larson is recorded as single [so probably he and Lois were separated but not divorced at the time of the census and one of the enumerators didn't know how to classify

There are a number of family trees on Ancestry by searching for Samuel J Larson and note his 2 marriages but most only record his son and not his daughter
