Ingeborg Astrup var professor Laur. Larsens andre kone. Hun ble født på Grue og utvandra til Amerika i 1872 etter at hun giftet seg med L. Larsen. I likhet med fru Brandt var fru Larsen imøtekommende mot studentene; hun lappet klærne deres og inviterte dem hjem til seg. Etter professor Larsens død i 1915, flyttet hun til Sioux Falls, Sør Dakota, med døtrene Karen og Ingeborg. Senere flyttet de til Northfield, Minnesota. Ingeborg døde 19. november 1923.
