IVER A. LARSEN

     the subject of this sketch was a Californian and came to Washington in the
late eighties, living for a time in the Puget Sound country, and coming to
Wenatchee early in 1890. He was a carpenter and helped to build some of the
first structures in the old town. In 1891 he was married to Mrs. Nancy A.
Davis. Soon after this Mr. and Mrs. Larsen gave their attention to the
development of the Davis homestead.  Several subdivisions have been made of the
original tract, the large cemetery grounds being one of them, and the twenty
acres orchard planted by Robert Livingston, Sr., and now owned by the American
Fruit Company with splendid improvements is another. The home place of the
Larsens has a large, fine orchard, commodious house and other worth while
improvements, all of which bear testimony to the thrift and industry of the
builders. Mr. Larsen was a substantial citizen with an inherent respect for
orderly forms of government.  Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Larsen,
whose names follow: Iver W., Leonard A., Walter R., Pete, Anna and Hilda. Iver
W. saw two years service in France during the World War. Leonard entered the
service but was not sent to the front. The other boys Walter and Pete died
several years ago.  Mr. Larsen passed away March 3, 1921, and Mrs. Larsen died
August 22, 1928.
