Emerson, b. 1889 in Fargo, ND, but I believe his family may have originated in Clayton County, IA. I have found through census data in IA other links in the family but can find very little on Clarence. I know we are related to the Peter and Batha Larson family. I don't know why he was born in ND, if the family was in IA. I do remember my mother mentioning a possible ancestor by the name of Gronhoud, but I don't know how to spell it. I would love any help in trying to piece together the puzzle, since my mother passed away years ago I have no one living to ask questions of. Thanks so much! Please let me know if you have any questions.
I'm wondering if anyone has additional info. on the tornado that caused the damage shown in this photo: http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaclayto/album/tornado_1918.htm and am hoping someone locally can check the microfilmed newspapers from Clayton co. Certainly a local paper published some sort of report on damage, who died, etc. The storm may have occurred May 21, 1918 and traveled across the Mississippi into Wisconsin.
