She attended school in Creswell, OR, and later moved to Ellensburg where she met her husband, retired Ellensburg Chief of Police, John T. Larsen. They married on October, 5, 1956, and were married until John's passing June 23, 1988. Vetta was also preceded in death by her son Robert (Bob) Larsen and her parents.

Yvette and John moved from Ellensburg to LaConner in 1975 and finished raising their family there. In 1983, Yvette and John then moved to Tacoma, WA to be near their children, who
were all serving in the military at various places around the world. Yvette moved to University Place with her daughter in 1993. Yvette was a member of the Retail Clerk's Executive Board, 1971-1984. Chairman of LaConner Sea Scout Ship #83, 1976-1984. She worked in the restaurant, credit and grocery industries in Ellensburg until she began her career as Grocery

Yvette worked at the Bangor Substation Commissary, Fort Lewis Commercial Accounts (Finance), Fort Shafter HI Commercial Accounts, and for Guaranty Mortgage as a loan officer. Yvette loved to work and truly touched the lives of all who worked with and for her. Yvette lived an amazing life. She has so many "children" and friends that it is impossible to acknowledge them all. She lived for her children, and inspired them to be the best they could be, no matter the road they chose. Her friendship was true and just, her love unconditional, and her generosity endless. She passed with many of her children and grandchildren at her side, and they were given the privilege of handing her off to her precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A celebration of Yvette's life will be held at Olympic View Baptist Church, 4707 Elwood Drive West, University Place, WA 98466 on Saturday, August 18th, 2007, at 3:00 pm.

Or Johanne G.

He registered for the draft in Union County, Oregon, on June 5, 1917. Although his birthdate is given as February 4, 1890, his age is 28 so the draft registrar fumbled the subtraction. John E Anderson lives at 2108 Adams in LaGrande, Oregon, where he owns an auto garage. He is married with a wife and three children. He is described as of medium height and build with blue eyes and brown hair. (His brother Herman must have been living with him at that time. Herman used the same address.)

In the 1920 census, he is the 28 year-old John E Anderson, an automobile salesman living at 1808 First Street in La Grande in Union County, Oregon.

In the 1930 census, he is the 40 year-old John E Anderson, a wholesale and retail butcher living with his family in Coos, Coos County, Oregon. He is not a veteran.

In the 1940 census, he and Catherine live in Salem with their son Eugene and his family. John was an automobile salesman working 60 hours a week.

“Killed at the brickyard crossing” in Little Falls, Minnesota, in the winter of 1899-1900. He was hit by a train while hauling cut trees.

He may have immigrated in 1880 but we know that Anna Charlotta came to the U.S. in 1882. For some reason they returned to Sweden and came back again in 1886. Their daughter, Astrid (Esther), was born in Sweden and celebrated her first birthday on the boat on the return to NY in July of 1886. They lived in Troy NY until 1891 or so and then moved to Little Falls, Minnesota. Alfred died in 1900 and left Anna with 8 kids; the oldest being 18. The youngest child was born after Alfred died, in June of 1900. She died when she was about 3. Her name was Olive.

She is shown as unmarried. She and her two daughters, Anna and Astrid, left Sweden the second time on 25 June 1886. The embarkation point was Göteborg both times.

In the 1905 state census, she and her family lived in Pike Creek Twp next to Sophia Peterson and her two children. Still living at home with Anna was Esther, 20, a domestic. The remainder of the children must have been listed on the back of the page, on a page that is missing, or were otherwise unrecorded.

The 1900 census reports that she had borne 8 children, all 8 still living. The 1910 census said only 7 still living. Harry, Herman, and Ethel were listed at home in 1910.

She was living in Minneapolis with her daughter Anna and Anna’s husband, as well as her daughter Ethel, at the time of the 1920 census.

Anna is living in Pike Creek Twp, Morrison County, in the 1930 census. Her widowed daughter Anna McCollem is living with her. Neither woman has an occupation.
