Larson, who lived at home; 26 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. One sister, who lives in Norway, also survives. Her husband preceded her in death 29 years ago and three children also preceded her in death.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 1:30 p. m. at the home and at 2:30 p.m. at the Palestine Lutheran church. The Rev. T. Hansen of Lakefield, Minn., will conduct the rites. Burial will be in the cemetery west of Dolliver [Palestine cemetery].
