JOHN S. LARSON, a prominent citizen of Dassel village, is engaged in the retail
liquor business. Born in Vaermlan, Sweden, March 24, 1857, he is the son of John and
Mary Larson, natives of Sweden. He came to Meeker county with his parents in 1870,
when he was about twelve years of age. The family settled upon a farm in section 30,
Dassel township, where his parents still live.

  John remained at home, assisting his father in the labors incident to farm life,
until 1874, when he entered the employ of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railroad, at St. Paul, with whom he remained for a couple of years. In 1879 he
returned to this county and settled at the village of Dassel, where he entered the
service of Andrew Linguist, as bartender, and fulfilled the duties of that position
until 1882. In the latter year he entered into a proprietorship with John Thomas, in
the same line, but shortly after J. H. Remick, having bought out Mr. Thomas, the
firm of Remick & Larson was formed. In February, 1883, their place of business was
destroyed by fire, and our subject lost his entire stock of clothes, except those he
had on and considerable of his stock in trade. At once, in company with J. H. Remick
and Thomas Gallagher, he commenced the erection of the Dassel house, but before its
completion Mr. Larson, sold out his interest in the hotel, only reserving the saloon
part, where he now carries on the business.

   Mr. Larson was married, in 1883, to Miss Emma J. Bunting, who was called away by
death May 31, 1885, leaving without a mother’s love and- care, their little girl,
Ella May.
