Margaret (Flack) Larrabee (1837 – May 19, 1882), born in Ireland, was the 
daughter of Samuel and Margaret Jane “Jane” (Hall) Flack.  In about 1849 
Margaret emigrated from Ireland to New York with her parents and her younger 
brother William, and the family settled in Sterling, Cayuga County, New York.  
In 1853 Margaret married Luman Larrabee (August 15, 1831 – June 6, 1908), and 
they settled in Oswego Township, Oswego County, New York.  Sometime between 
1865 and 1870 Luman and Margaret Larrabee moved to Michigan and settled in 
Juniata Township, Tuscola County, where they lived for the rest of their 
lives.  Luman and Margaret had ten children:  Horace, Jane, Lewis, William J., 
Luman, Jr., Samuel, Mary, Burton, Edward Clyde, and George.  The first six 
children were born in Oswego Township, Oswego County, New York, and the last 
four were born in Tuscola County, Michigan.  All of the children remained in 
Tuscola County except for Edward, who later re-settled in Albion, Orleans 
County, New York.

There are inscriptions on two sides of this obelisk—one for Margaret and one 
for Margaret and Luman’s son  Bert--but both of them are nearly illegible.  
Margaret’s inscription reads “Margaret, Wife of L. Larrabee, Died May 19, 
1882, Aged 45 years”.  Margaret (Flack) Larrabee's grave is in Block A, Sec. 
82.  Also buried on this lot are Margaret's husband Luman Larrabee and their 
sons William J., Bert L., and George C. Larrabee. 
  
Luman Larrabee re-married twice after Margaret’s death in 1882.  Luman’s 
second wife was Calista June (Giles) Smith (January 2, 1830 – December 27, 
1883), and his third wife was Charlotte S. (Rice) Withey (June 1831 – March 
25, 1913).
