Wm. Larson was born at Oakes on Feb. 2, 1889. When about ten years old he moved with his parents to Kindred, where he was confirmed into the Lutheran Faith, having been baptised as an infant. In 1899, he moved with the family to Wilkin County, where he was engaged in farming until about six years ago.
