Severt Haugtvedt Larson was born December 9, 1831 at Hvindeneiet farm, near Gran, Norway. Severt was a stone mason by trade in Norway. He married Cathinka Marie Dietrich August 28, 1858 near Oslo, Norway. The couple and three children left Norway in 1868 and moved to rural Fillmore Co., MN.

In 1879 Mr. Larson was one of the early settlers in Kingsbury County, locating on a homestead up in Badger township, where he lived until moving to Lake Preston some three years ago. He was a very hard worker on the farm and through life. He was well broken down in health before deciding to move to town and take the balance of his life easy.

He raised a large family of children, all of whom are grown to maturity. He had accumulated considerable property and had built a nice convenient home here in which to enjoy his old age. But, alas, it was willed otherwise. His stomach seemed to cause him much pain and, late last fall, an investigation proved that he was afflicted with cancer of the stomach. For months he has been wasting away, feeling good and eating well at times, but in much pain and able to keep nothing on his stomach at other times. The aged wife and all the children have the health-felt sympathy of all in their sorrow.

Funeral services were held at the Lutheran Church on Saturday, and burial took place in the Lake Preston Cemetery.
