Mr. LARSON was a successful rancher and cattleman. He liked the cattle business and could not make up his mind to retire, tho the matter had been discussed at intervals. He was a good citizen, interested in the affairs of his country and community, a good neighbor and friend. His children were given a good education and have achieved success in their various fields of business and profession. The sudden passing of H. P. LARSON was a shock to his family and friends and his absence will leave a void in the community.
