The fun thing about working in Juneau Co is that there is lots of information on folks (except the one we are looking for), however this one really surprised us. We Googled for Martin Theodor Larson.
The following link came up:
http://home.no.net/sulsog/http://home.no.net/sulsog/
Select Juneau county bygdebok.
Don’t panic, while the front page is in Norwegian, the family pages are in English. This person has spent a huge amount of time researching Norwegian families that came to Juneau Co.
The site was a little hard for us to get around in so we copied some of the information.
Larson, Martin Theodor s of Odd Larson (see) and Christine Hansdtr. Howe.
Martin was born on January 13, 1875 in Lindina Township, Juneau County, Wisconsin. He was baptized on March 28, 1875 at the East Lemonweir Church. Martin was married on April 16, 1903 in Lisbon Township (at the prestgaarden) to Margit Helene Olson. The witnesses were Olaus Olson and Emil Larson. Helene, the dau of Helge Olson (see) and Liv Bordalen, was born on October 2, 1882 in Plymouth Township, Juneau County, Wisconsin. She was baptized on October 22, 1882 at the East Lemonweir Church. They farmed in Plymouth and Lisbon townships for several yrs. In 1905, they lived on a farm in Plymouth Township. In 1914, they lived in Lisbon Township (section 10, 40 acres; New Lisbon P.O.). In the fall of 1915, they moved to Hyde Park in Los Angeles County in southern California. They later lived in Fullerton and Anaheim, California.
