Lars Larson Obituary
Colman Argus 1926
Lars Larson, one of the pioneers of Moody County, died at his home eleven miles northeast of Colman Friday Morning October 29th [1926]. He had been ailing for some time and his death was not unexpected.
He was born of the parents Lars Larson and wife December 26, 1845 in Gran, Hadeland, Norway. As a young man he came to America in 1868 and made his home in Fillmore County, Minnesota. Here in the year 1876 he was united in marriage to Mari Berven who passed to her reward August 9, 1923. In 1879 the family moved to Moody County, and settled in what is now known as the Midway district. Here he made his home until his death. Mr. Larson was a man of conservative views both as far as spiritual things are concerned and otherwise. He was of a friendly yet quiet disposition; a man who perhaps did not exert such a great influence in wider circles but who loved his home and family and sought at all times to inculcate the finer things of family life. Physically he was strong and was able to get out of bed up to the last week. He was a meek soul who confessed his sins and asked God's pardon for Christ's sake. His hymn-book was his constant companion during his last days and he often admonished his children to read and study the bible because he believed in Scripture which presents Christ the Savior, salvation is to be found. His ability to quote bible passages, hymn verses and portions of the catechism learned during childhood bear testimony to the fact that he was reared in a good Christian home. He was a member of Roscoe congregation before the union of 1917.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C.M. Austin and Rev. J.A. Blilie, November 1st from the home and at the Midway church. His remains were placed to rest in the Midway cemetery. The children who mourn the loss of a father are: Bedelle, Mrs. Marcus Paulson, Flandreau; Anne, Caroline, Ludvig, Netta, who reside at home. Blessed be his memory.
