Clayton Gerald Larsen, the son of Peter K. and Lillie Mae (Miller) Larsen, was born June 8, 1931 on the family farm near Rutland. Following his education, Clayton enlisted into the United States Army. Following the death of his father, he was honorably discharged and returned home to care for his mother and take over the family farming operations. On February 23, 1958, he was united in marriage to Carolyn R. Olden. In addition to their faming operations, which included raising hogs and selling Super Crost seed corn, Clayton also worked for New Idea and Will Construction. He then established Larsen Painting, which grew to employ many local young people as summer painters and roofers. His son, Pete, took over the farming operations and, in 2001, the family built their new home in Humboldt. Following his retirement from farming, Clayton continued his painting business until four years ago.
Clayton was a member of the Faith United Methodist Church. He enjoyed attending auctions and drinking coffee and visiting with his friends. Above all, Clayton enjoyed the time he spent with his grandchildren.
