  THOMAS LARKIN owns a 200-acre farm in Grand Prairie township, a short distance

east of Ellsworth, upon which he has lived continuously twenty-eight years. He

is a native of county Galway, Ireland, and was born Nov. 28, 1848. His parents

were John and Ellen (Ryan) Larkin, both of whom died in Illinois, the father in

1874, at the age of 58 years, the mother in 1889, aged 65 years.



  Thomas Larkin arrived in the United States March 25, 1855, and for many years

lived near Streator, Ill. That was his home until 1880, with the exception of

four years, two of which were spent in Texas and two in Missouri. He came to

Nobles county in September, 1880, and bought the farm on which he now lives. The

place was then unimproved; today he has an elegant home and a finely improved farm.



  The marriage of Mr. Larkin occurred in Lasalle county, Ill. He was married

Feb. 15, 1882, to Mary Ann Rohan, who was born in Lasalle county in 1852. To

them have been born four children: John, born June 4, 1884; Charlie, born July

10, 1890; Winnie, born May 3, 1886; Annie, born Aug. 3, 1895. Mr. and Mrs.

Larkin are members of the Catholic church.
