Death of Andrew Larson
After an Operation to Prevent the Spread of Blood Poison
On Thursday, last week, after consulting with the family and the
family physician of Andrew Larson, Dr. Hill of Lyons, it was
concluded that the only way to prevent the spread of blood
poisoning was to amputate the foot. Mr. Larson had contracted
blood poisoning from a prick of a needle in one of his toes. Dr.
Somers, an eminent surgeon of Omaha, was summonsed here to perform
the operation, which was successfully performed, but gangrene had
too much headway. The patient dying on Sunday evening at 5
o'clock, Deceased was aged 67 years, 2 months and 8 days. He left
Sweden July 5, 1863. He arrived in Chicago the same year. He was
married in 1864 in Chicago to his wife who survives. Shortly after
marriage, the same year, he joined a Swedish colony that located in
this neighborhood, and he has lived ever since on the same farm
with his family.
The deceased leaves six children besides his wife. The children
are Andrew, Lars, Oliver, Peter and Eric Larson, and Mrs. Holmes.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the residence of his
son in town. The services were held by Rev. Mr. Arlander, Swedish
Baptist minister of Oakland. He spoke in the Swedish and English
language. Those acting as pall bearers were Theodore Uehling, P. A.
Anderson, J. G. Meyer, Henry Uehling, Joseph Johnson and Eph
Johnson. The remains were buried in the Swedish Baptist burying
ground.

Biography
Andrew and Mary (Anderson/Bowman) Larson
Andrew Larson was born at Våmhus, Mora, Sweden on May 18, 1841 to
Lars and Brita (Andersdotter) Larson whose other Swedish born
children were Mait (1839-???? may have died as an infant), Oliver
(1844-1912), Carrie Lund (1847-1893), Mary Peterson (1849-1890),
and Becky Frost (1852-1916). Andrew emigrated to the USA on July
5, 1863, and his first home in America was in Chicago, IL. On
August 22, 1864 he married Mary Anderson/Bowman in Chicago.
Mary Anderson/Bowman was born in Mora, Dalarna, Sweden on January
6, 1840 to Andrew and Karin (Mattsdotter) Mattson, whose other
Swedish born children were; Martin (1835-????), Karin (1834-????),
Anna Peterson (1846-1920), and Andrew (1849-1919). Andrew Mattson
died about 1847 in Sweden, and the family emigrated to the USA in
1863. Due to the many Andersons in America they changed their name
to Bowman to minimize the conflict with the Anderson name. Andrew
and Mary Larson located in Logan Township in 1864.
In the summer of 1908 Andrew contracted blood poisoning from the
prick of a needle in one of his toes. In order to stop the spread
of the blood poisoning it was decided to amputate his foot. An
eminent Omaha surgeon was summoned to perform the operation, and
the operation was successful. However, gangrene had too much
headway and Andrew died on July 26, 1908. One of the remarkable
features of his life is that this was the first time he had ever
called upon a physician and none had ever before been called into
the family. He was buried at the Baptist Cemetery south of town.
