Lars married Ingeborg Larsdatter Flatla on May 28, 1868 at Lunner, Gran, Hadeland, Oppland, Norway. They came as newlyweds from Hadeland, Norway on June 4, 1868 on the boat "Peruvian" and landed at Quebec, Canada, traveling on to settle at Rock, Mitchell, Iowa. They lived with Lars' brother, Anders Larson Dynna, until their house was built.

The chain became unhooked and the logs rolled onto him, crushing his chest. He died instantly. Lars was buried at the Rock Creek Lutheran Cemetery, Meroa, Cedar, Mitchell, Iowa, plot #Y2.
