Mr. Larson was taken ill in March 1935 with a brain tumor. He submitted to three operations for the ailment at Iowa City, the last operation being performed almost a year ago. Since the last operation he failed to improve and grew weaker gradually until the end. Mrs. Larson was called to his bedside, and was with him at the time of his death.

His remains were brought to Hawarden Tuesday evening. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 Friday afternoon at the Associated Church with Rev. Clarence W. Hanscom in charge. Burial will be in Grace Hill cemetery.

On Jan. 28, 1929 he was married at Sioux City to Miss Ella Carlson of Hawarden. They made their home here and he was engaged in the barber trade until he became ill.
