John Aune, now deceased, was a resident of Barron for a quarter of a century.
He enjoyed an excellent reputation, he was a good citizen and a kindly family
man, and left many friends to mourn his decease. He was born in Norway May 2,
1851, and came to America in 1885, finding his way directly to Barron, where
for ten years he was engaged in the lumbering industry. He then started
business in Barron City, and so continued until his death, Dec. 20, 1900. Mr.
Aune was married Nov. 15, 1892, to Anna Larson, born in Norway, Oct. 12, 1864,
daughter of Christ and Julia (Berger) Larson, natives of Norway, who came to
America in 1885. Mr. Larson taught in Norwegian Lutheran schools for ten years
and then returned to Norway where he now lives. Mrs. Larson makes her home
with her daughter, Mrs. John Aune.
