LEWIS LARSON.—One of the best known manufacturers of shingles and shakes in Humboldt county is Lewis Larson, who lives on a splendid eighty-acre ranch between Rohnerville and Hydesville and operates his shingle mill, which is three miles beyond Cuddeback. He is one of the very few operators in this line who have not closed their mills during the depression of 1913-14, and this is largely due to the splendid cooperation of the Larson family, the sons and daughters being in the employ of their father, and giving their best effort toward making a success of the undertaking. They are all energetic, enthusiastic and hard working, and the product of their mill is a superior grade of shingles.
Mr. Larson is a native of Sweden, born at Engelholm, January 10, 1864. His father was a farmer and owned a ninety-acre farm in the mother country, where he died at the age of sixty-eight years. The mother lived to be seventy.
The boyhood days of the son Lewis were passed on his father's farm and his education was received in the public schools of the district. In 1882 he came to America, locating first in Kansas, where he worked as a farm hand in Wilson county. In October, 1883, he came to California, spending a brief time in San Francisco, and then coming up the coast to Eureka. He was with the California Redwood Company for a year and then entered the employ of John Vance, veteran lumber man, in his lumber mills, first as a sawyer, and later became a filer. After the death of his father he inherited $2500 from the estate, and this he invested in property, purchasing a fine ranch of eighty acres on the road between Hydesville and Rohnerville, forty acres of which is bottom land. His first venture in the making of shingles was on the Van Dusen river, where he built a shingle mill on the Irvine place, four miles further up than his present property. This he ran for twelve years, with great success. His present mill he built in 1912, and has operated it continuously. since that time. It has a capacity of fifty thousand shingles and ten thousand shakes per day.
The marriage of Mr. Larson took place in 1890, when he was united with Miss Hannah Person, a native of Sweden. They have become the parents of nine children, all of whom have been born in Humboldt county, where the elder members of the family have been educated, and where they all reside at this time. They are : Roland, a sawyer in the shingle mill ; Elsie, now the wife of Arthur Johnson, who is employed in the moulding mills at Eureka ; Emma, who is employed at the shingle mill ; Lloyd, also employed at the mill ; Allen, Elsa and Eva, all attending school in Rohnerville ; and Sophus, Benjamin and Arthur, younger members of the family.
Mr. Larson takes a keen interest in all public questions and is deeply interested in the local and political affairs of the state, but as a non-partisan. He is a member of the Woodmen of the World, and is well known in that order. Among business men with whom he is brought in contact he is known as a man of ability and strength of character, honest, industrious and upright, and well above the average in native ability.
