Hans was born July 1861 or 1863, in Bollnas Sweden. His parents were Lars and Kari (Hansen) Fredine the family name was changed to Larson sometime after they came to Webster County, Iowa in 1869. Hans married Rita Hickox, Nov. 29,1899 in Callender, Iowa. Hans was living in Sioux Falls in 1947 (information from his brother's obituary.) Does anyone have access to obituaries in Souix Falls? Does anyone know of this family. They had a daugher and a son Elmer Larson. Thanks for any help. Carol in Kentuckt
