From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 770. City of La Crosse BERNT LARSEN, foreman in the factory of his brother, Ole Larsen, has been a resident of La Crosse since 1869. He was born in Norway in 1854; son of Lars Olesen, who came to the United States with his family in 1869, and settled in La Crosse, where he still resides. Mr. Larsen was married in October, 1880, to Miss Jennie Johnson, also a native of Norway, who came to La Crosse in 1873, with her parents. [I am not related to this family and have no further information. I'm posting this as a service and hope it helps!]
