Mathea Fredrickson Larsen was born on February 28, 1858 in Norway, to Chrisian Frederickson and Marie Olsen. She came to Utah at the age of 17 by way of the railroad. By the time she married, her family had come to live in Provo, Utah, Utah, United States.
She worked doing housekeeping first in Provo, then in Lehi. When Peter Larsen's wife Elna was ill, Mathea's sister Christena was hired to work for the family. Christena, however, passed away at some point during this illness of Elna. Mathea came to be hired in Christena's place. During the last days of Elna Larsen's life, she asked Mathea to stay and take care of her three children should she pass away. After Elna's death, Mathea did return to her father's home in Provo, but Peter Larsen asked for her to return. She agreed, and they were married on December 9, 1880 in the Endowment house in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States.
They had 10 children together, 4 of them dying young. She took care of Peter and Elna's children just as if they were her own.
They lived at the Railway station in Lehi, Utah, Utah, United States until the railroad wanted him to move south. Rather than do so, they moved back to Peter's old house in Lehi on a 5 acre plot. Her husband then went into the meat business, opening Larsen's Meat Market. For a time he also helped run the cooperative store in Lehi. In 1919 he was forced to retire because of blindness. He passed away shortly afterward.
After Peter's death, she went to stay with her son Leslie for a time. While there, she was diagnosed with diabetes. She never quite recovered from this illness.
She loved to go to church meetings at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She loved to hear the missionaries speak.
She passed away in American Fork on April 16, 1928 and was buried in Lehi on April 20, 1928.
