Ninth Generation

73. Hanna Elvira JOHNSON was born on 8 January 1874 in Krokstorp, Hössna, Älvsborg län (Väster Götaland), Sweden.³⁰ She died on 23 September 1932 at the age of 58 in Cranston, Providence Co., RI. From Nancy Kilstrom, January 2000:

Hannah Johnson Larson
Married Oscar Larson
Children were:
Lillian Larson - Born I think 1903 (same age as my Dad). She and
Elsie are buried in the same grave in St. Paul's/All Saints. Fern may know
exact dates or we could check the stone.
Leonard Larson - Died as a relatively young man my mom recalled.
She didn't think he had married.
Clarence Larson - Married first at age 65 to a woman with
children/grandchildren.

- Raymond Larson
He married Mary ____. She was Portuguese.
They lived in Pawtucket. Had one son, Raymond Larson Jr. He had at least 2
daughters - I have a photo of them with Ray Sr.

- Elsie Larsen
Elsie never married. She, Lillian, and Clarence lived together on the street behind the Pontiac Mills.

- Apparently there were one or two other children who died as infants. One died
when Hannah fell down stairs when holding the baby (?). My mom and Lillian
mentioned that.
