Harold Morton Larson was born in Comstock, Minnesota, on July 10, 1900. He attended school in Wolverton, Minnesota. In 1919, he, his parents and brothers, Rueben and Leif, moved to Puyallup, Washington.
In 1924, Dagny Nord also moved from Wolverton to Auburn, Washington. At that time, Harold was living at the Ames Apartments in Auburn while working for the Chamberlain Paint and Decorating store. Learning that Dagny was in the area, Harold decided to visit her. This friendship renewal developed into a courtship. They returned to Wolverton for their wedding on September 28, 1927.
Moving to Puyallup, they purchased his parents' property and began construction on their home at 101 16th Street, Southwest. In 1928, they moved into their new home where Dagny continued to live throughout her life. On May 25, 1939, their son, Charles Harold, was born. Four years later while on a hunting trip, Harold had a stroke. Besides this, he had high blood pressure, anemia and problems with his kidneys and thyroid. Unfortunately, at that time, there was no effective treatment for these problems. During the early stages of his illness, Dagny was completing work on an additional degree in public health nursing at the University of Washington. Harold stayed at home and cared for Charles. In May, 1947, Harold had another stroke and from that period to his death on November 25, 1947, Dagny remained at home to care for him. He was 47 years old.
Until his illness and for over twenty years, Harold was a salesman for Burr Gregory Paint and Wallpaper Company, Puyallup. He was an accomplished trumpet player and for several years played in the Auburnian Dance Band, which performed in many parts of Western Washington. One of his hobbies was gardening. At one time, he had several acres of delphinium plants, even cultivating them on a commercial basis. He also had a large tropical fish collection. Harold was an active supporter of the Western Washington state fair and served on several of its committees. He was a member of the Central Lutheran Church, Tacoma, and was an early member of the Puyallup Elks Lodge.
