Biographical Note

Frederick William Larson (1880-1929) was born on June 8, 1880 in Grantsville, Utah to Anders Gustave and Anna Sophia Sundqvist Larson. His family moved to Oakley, Idaho, when he was a baby. He married Mary Alice Tolman in October 1903 and they had two children, LeRoy and Annie Laura.
