Christian Advocate Nashville January 12, 1884
LARKIN ANDERSON was born in Franklin county, Tennessee, March 10, 1807; was 
married to Eleanor Emmerson, Oct. 18, 1832 and moved to then Itawamba (now Lee) 
county, Miss, in December, 1851; was taken sick Nov. 14, 1883, and, after 
fifteen days severe suffering, he died Nov. 29. At what time he embraced 
religion is not known, but he was a regular attendant at Church, and paid good 
attention to preaching, and if there was any feeling among the professors he 
was always more or less affected. He was a close Bible reader, and pondered 
well its glowing truths. He never connected himself with any denomination, nor 
was he ever known to express any preference, so far as I know. When any 
minister staid all night with him he always had services morning and evening. 
He used no tobacco, no bad language; was never known to be the least under the 
influence of whiskey, if he ever used it at all. He was strictly a peaceable 
man in his family and in neighborhood. He was heard to say before death that he 
had not been angry in six years and that he was an enemy to nobody and that if 
he had an enemy he did not know it. He was prompt and punctual in all the 
affairs of life. He was by profession a farmer, made plenty, and lived within 
his means. He was seldom ever sick until his last illness. The writer has been 
intimately acquainted with him nearly thirty-two years and has never known him 
to be in a difficulty in all that time. He was able to until the night he was 
taken sick. Thus he had borne the labors, bereavements, and trials of life, 
without apparent decay, for over 76 years. He was laid to away in chapel 
graveyard. He leaves an aged companion and a single daughter to feel and mourn 
their loss, besides other children and grandchildren. A vacant seat will be 
found at all the churches where he used to visit. Truly one of the pillars of 
society has fallen. Peace be to him. 
------ ETHELBERT RANKIN.
