Elias Larsh 26 Oct 1856 and died 17 Oct 1933 is buried in Howard Cemetery next to his wife Susanna Cave born 2 Apr 1855 and died 24 Dec 1924.  Her maiden name is found on her children's marriage index and some birth indexes. Elias is born in Iowa and Susanna is born in Ohio. Children of Elias Larsh and Susanna Cave
Jonas Larsh 1874
Emma Larsh 1876
William Larsh 1881
Edgar Elias Larsh 1886
Clara Larsh 1891
Lula Larsh 1894

Also a birth index for a male Larsh born 30 Mar 1894 has been found.  This could be Bertie Larsh who is buried in Howard. We could assume that Bertie is the child of Elias and Susanna, but in the 1900 Census Susanna states she has six children and all six are living.  ????????????

Elias is a farm laborer in the 1880 Census and the household is made up of Elias age 23 Susanna age 24, Jonas age 6 and Emma age 4.  They are residing in Perry Township, Boone, Indiana

The census records for 1890 have been lost to time.  We next see the family in 1900 Census; with the household consisting of Elias age 43, Susannah age 46, William age 18, Edgar Elias age 13, Clara age 8 and Lulu age 5.  Emma and Jonas are married and have their own families. They are still living in Boone County.

1910 Census has the family the family is in Perry, Boone, Indiana.  Elias is 57, Susanna is 56, Lula is 17, and is married to James Carl Henderson age 20 and they have a daughter Leona age 1 year 3mos. In this Census Susanna states that she has 7 children and only 5 are living.  So according to this record Bertie Larsh  could be their son.  Elias is a farm employee. 

In the 1920 Census they couple is living in Perry and they have a boarder Sanford Asher age 46.   Elias is still working as a farm employee.
This is the last census that Susanna will be counted in; as she passes in 1924.

In the 1930 Census Elias is living in Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana, in the home of his son Edgar Elias Larsh.  Elias dies three years later.
