JOHN C. LARKINS, son of William and Penelope Larkins, was born in Trigg
County, in 1843.  His parents were well and favorably known as among the
best people of the county.  Though dead many years, their good influence
still lives.  Our subject began for himself at the age of twenty-one;
farming and carpentering have engaged his attention.  He, with his sisters,
Martha and Eliza live at the home farm.  The good influences and generous
hospitality that characterized the parents still follow the children.  The
brother and sisters are members of the Bethesda Methodist Episcopal Church
South.  John has about seventy-five acres of land under cultivation.  He
is farming about twenty-two acres of corn, ten of tobacco and eight acres
of wheat.  His outlook is very encouraging.
