The John and Anna Larson Homestead
My Great Grandparents, John and Anna Larson homesteaded in Burnett County, near Ekdall.
Their property is now owned by the State of Wisconsin, as part of Crex Meadows Wildlife Area.
John came from Sweden, Anna was from Norway. They were married in 1900.
Their homestead papers were signed June 8, 1901 by F.M. McKean, Secretary of President William McKinley.
