Ole Larson's Folks

Born in Vernon County, Wisconsin, on this date in 1884: my grandaunt Alma Larson (m. Raiten), half-sister of Isaac Larson.

Skeleton alert: Alma was the first child of Ole’s second wife, who had previously been the family’s housekeeper. However, she was born one month before Isaac, youngest child of the first wife, who lived a full year after the two births. This may help explain the rumored friction between Isaac and his stepmother, and his decision not to remarry after his wife died in 1928, leaving him with five young sons.
