STARK A. LARSON was born in Rock Dell township, October 9, 1867, and is
a son of Andrew and Sarah, who emigrated from Norway to the United
States and settled in Olmsted county. The father worked at the mason
trade for some time and then bought 160 acres in section thirteen, Rock
Dell township, and this land they made their home until their respective
deaths. They were honest, industrious and law-abiding people and had the
high regard of all who knew them. Stark A. spent his early years in
getting a common school education and in assisting his parents to clear,
improve and cultivate the farm. He finished his education by taking a
course in Darling's Business College at Rochester. After finishing his
schooling he worked at farming on shares for eleven years and then
bought his grandfather's homestead in section thirteen. Here he is now
residing and doing well. On March 16, 1893, he married Martha Garvick,
whose parents were early settlers of Vernon township, Dodge county. To
this marriage the following children were born: Stella C., Caia A.,
Elvine S., Agnes B., Andrew K., Edgar F., Mabel S., Lillie L., Esther
N., Lawrence T. Mr. Larson. is a Republican and is a member of St.
Olaf's congregation, where he and all his family were confirmed. The
parents are proud of their children, and well they may be. All are
bright and wide awake to the possibilities of the great busy world of
which they are a part.
