Biography

Born 18 March 1869 in Bösebo, Kalmar (H). Died 14 August 1944 in Princeton, Illinois, USA. Axel Larson emigrated in 1889 to America. Axel and Maria lived at 1036 East Albany, Chicago, Illinois from 1897-1903. The Larson family moved to Princeton, Illinois from Chicago in 1903/1904. Maria was 41 years old when her last child was born. The birth and death dates of two children, Chester and Ida, also born to Axel and Maria are not known. It is believed they died in infancy and perhaps one child was born before Sebert and one after.The Larson family moved from Princeton to 533 N. Taylor, Oak Park, Illinois, in 1923. After Maria's death in 1928, Axel again returned to Princeton in 1929. Roy and Marshall both served in the US Army. Marshall served in the South Pacific. Roy worked for Union Carbide as did his father Axel for a time. Mae worked for an insurance company and a bank, Myrtle worked for Illinois Bell Telephone Company, Clara worked for Western Electric, and in-law Bertram Johnson (Maybelle's second husband) worked for International Harvester. Later, Axel was engaged in farming. In the 1920 Cicero Township Census, Illinois, (per Debbie Christie Rogers) Clara and Mae were living in Chicago at the home of their Uncle John Seaquist and family. Later, Mae was a housekeeper for Morgan and Marshall who were engaged in farming. Clara was a housekeeper for Sebert who was engaged in farming - all north of Sheffield, Illinois.
