WILLIAM LARZALERE farmer and stock-grower, P.O. Bristol, was 
born in Bristol township, January 24, 1809, and is a son of 
Benjamin and Sarah (Brown) Larzalere, natives of Bucks 
county.  His grandfather, Nicholas Larzalere, was one of the 
first settlers of this county.  The family are descendants 
of French Huguenots.  Benjamin Larzalere was a farmer, and 
had a family of nine children, of whom William was the 
youngest.  He attended the subscription school in Bucks 
county, and learned the mason's trade, which he followed 
until he got a start in the world, when he went to farming 
and has since followed that with success.  He is the owner 
of a well-improved farm, where he now resides.  He was 
married January 22, 1852, to Anna, daughter of Thomas 
Antrim.  She is of English and Irish origin.  Their children 
are:  Benjamin, a farmer; Sallie, the wife of John 
Tomlinson; and Frederick. Mrs. Larzalere died in 1885.  She 
was a member of the Episcopal church.  Mr. Larzalere is a 
republican, and has served as school-director.  His success 
in life is largely due to his own exertions.
