Thank you very much, Lorena, for this assistance. I haven't had much information about counties until now.
The Salina connection is Lars and Anna's daughter Gustava Charlotta, who married Charles J. Wattenstrom, and was living in Salina. Lars died there, and he is buried in a nearby cemetery, but Anna is apparently not buried with him there.
I missed county information for you, and I didn't realize that the Centreville location, where the Wattenstrom/Soder son was living, is in Missouri, not Mississippi. My grandfather's journal says "Centreville, Mississippi," and I didn't question that. Thanks to you, I am learning about the Marshall County location, and now I know of the Missouri relatives.
You have found my grandfather Charlie Larson's mother living shortly before her death with his sister Sophie, who had married Axel Lundeen. I thought Sophie was in Britton SD, but I had not found Anna's burial location in the Hill Head Lutheran cemetery. But I think Lars and Anna were Baptists.
These census records clearly show Anna (not "Charlotte" in these records) with Sophie, and not with any of the others. Her husband Lars Erik Jansson/Larson died in 1907, so she would have been with him in 1900, maybe in Salina KS where Lars died, but "L. E. Larson" is buried in Blankenship Cemetery near Rosalia KS. They have no online record of Anna.
My father's name is apparently not clear in some of the census records. He is Clarence Larson, son of Charles Henning ("Charley") and Emma Larson of Lake Norden SD.
I am surprised to find census records of Charles Henning Larson's sister Ellen Fox, including her husband's full name. I didn't know they were living in Kansas before her husband's death. Ellen and Mildred were murdered in their sod house in South Dakota on 28 Aug 1913. My father sat with his father (Charles Henning Larson) in the kitchen at their Lake Norden SD home when Ellen was visiting and talking about her fear of a neighbor who wanted to marry Mildred. I have a copy of the newspaper article about the trial and the hanging of the murderer, who was this neighbor. He was angry because neither Ellen nor Mildred accepted his marriage proposal.
One census record says Anna had 15 children. I don't have a record of more than the nine "living."
