The oldest son of Peter August Larsson and Maria Karolina Andersdotter, was born in Waterloo, NE in 1883. He came to Knox County with his parents, first to a farm west of Bloomfield. In 1908 Harry married a young woman of the area to this union three children were born: Ella who later married Joe Koftan and they moved to Missouri; Mildred who married Walter Wenke and they lived west of Bloomfield; Myrle who chose to move to Iowa where he married Ernice Amendt.
Harry and Tracy moved onto her parents farm which was well blessed with a huge orchard that produce in abundance. Harry use to tell of strawberries by the wash tubs full plus cherries, apples, blackberries, blueberries, rhubarb, mulberries, currents and raspberries. There were no freezers way back then--can you imagine a housewife trying to can all of that plus having a large garden, raising chickens, taking care of three kids and helping with the milking and other farm chores? Harry farmed the hard way, 160 acres with 2 or 3 horses and Harry always had walking machinery. Harry did the walking while the horses pulled the plow, harrow and any other piece of machinery he used. Tracy died in 1923 and Harry continued life on the farm raising his three children the best he could. Harry remained in good health and continued to live on the farm until his death in 1956.
