I believe that the 1881 census incorrectly lists Michael J. McLaren - I think it was a typo, intended to be Richard J. McLaren, since the dates align so closely with the personal family records, and his age listed on his marriage record.
Richard was killed in action in WW1.

| 16. | Archie K. McLaren (4.Archibald2, 1.Henry1) was born on 4 Nov 1908 in Seattle, Washington, USA; died on 13 Aug 2004 in Oceanside, California, USA. Notes:
Archie K. McLaren died peacefully at home on August 13, 2004, at the age of 95, preceded in death by his wife Ruth, in January 2003.
Archie was born in Seattle in 1908, and was very proud to have begun working to help his family at the age of eight, selling papers on the Steamer Dawn in Mercer Island, Washington. He began a career at sea in his late teens, completing his first voyage around the world before he was 21. By the end of 1934 he had completed 38 round trips to Yokohama, Kobe, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Manila. He worked for the Dollar Steamship Lines and later for the Military Sea Transportation Service (M.S.T.S.) well into the 1950s, working his way up from Assistant Freight Clerk to Purser. In the mid 1950s he stopped going to sea and began working for the Social Security Administration, first in Washington state, then in San Diego and Escondido. He worked for Social Security for 22 years, retiring in 1978 at age 70. But total retirement didn't appeal to him, so he continued to work part-time for many years, working for the Norman Insurance Agency and giving seminars on Medicare for senior citizens. He was active in the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) for many years, serving as President of NARFE Local #63. Archie's interest in travel never waned, and he continue to travel frequently to Europe and to take cruises well into his eighties, visiting Morocco, Russia, Greece and the Alaskan coastline. Archie was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Washington state and Oceanside.
Archie will be greatly missed by many fiends and relatives, including: daughter, Susan Musser; sister, Jean Henry; nieces Jeanne and Elizabeth; grand-nieces and nephews Manu, Jannat, and Matthew; his distant cousin (and sometimes traveling companion) Richard McLaren and family Selagh, Josh, Morgan and Zach; and long-time friend Tamra Ruddeck.
We will miss Archie's wonderful stories and many sea voyages and his very special sense of humor.
Family/Spouse: Living. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

A letter by John Heddle to Patsy's sons:
--
Time is too short for me to come or to send a physical letter, I fear.
For my most enjoyable summer, ever, in 1956 when I was 16, I was privileged to be the "Wood, Mail, and Ice" boy at Norway Point, a sort of half-time slave to Jane, occasional helper to Aunt Sally, and sometime annoyance to Uncle George. During July of this lovely sojourn, there was a constant buzz about what would happen "when Patsy arrives", which she did in time for the long weekend in August. No mention had been made of the quiet, wonderful, Norman nor of the four - FOUR - loud and active boys and a young girl helper at least in the same tone of voice as to impress deeply.
What a change in atmosphere! Notwithstanding the demands of motherhood before electricity, in three days she had the dingy - the one that I had just spent several days sanding, varnishing, and bailing - in the regatta and won third place, solo. I had yet to hoist its sail. The rest of my life was spent in undying admiration of her energy, spirit, and wisdom. For many years, we visited from Kleinburg in the winter for skiing, tobogganing, tea, and conversations.
A great moment, remembered ever so vividly was when she stood in the aisle, hand raised at first, and stopped the funeral directors from removing the casket at Norman's funeral until "When The Saints Go Marching In" was finished so that Norman would hear all of it.
Luckily, we had talked by telephone in July and her voice was cheery though quavering.
We have all suffered a great loss, you four obviously the most. We will never forget her and always love her memory.
Sincerely,
John
Sarah married Norman Bosomworth in 1950. Norman and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
