The Larson family was one of the first families to arrive in Stirling August 20, 1899 as part of a mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to settle Southern Alberta. After arriving in Canada Andrew built a small two room shack later finishing it in 1910.[1] He was a great carpenter and made a loom and did a lot of weaving with it. Magdalene or Maggie his tenth child inherited this and has since donated it to the Glenbow Museum in Calgary.
Andrew also owned a small farm south of Stirling.
In 1908 or 1910 shortly after arriving in Canada, Andrew was sent on a mission to Denmark.
