Erick Larson, a thriving farmer and dairyman of Arland Township, was born in
Sweden, July 15, 1886, son of Lars and Bertha (Jacobson) Johnson. As a child 
he accompanied his parents to the United States in 1892 and grew up on their 
farm in Arland Township. After his father's death in July, 1903, he carried 
on the farm for his mother and continued as its manager until Sept. 12, 1917,
when he bought it. He is successfully engaged in mixed farming and dairying,
keeping grade Guernsey cattle with a high grade sire, and is also a
stockholder in the Barron Co-operative Creamery and the Hillsdale Western 
Telephone Company. Industrious and enterprising he is making good progress 
and is already numbered among the substantial citizens of his township.
