NY, ed by William Adams, pub 1893 History of the Town of Randolph - Chapter XLIV (44) Page 1062 Surname: LARKIN Frederick LARKIN, M. D., son of Edmund, was born in Thompson, Conn., Feb. 12, 1814. His father was a skillful physician and surgeon in Thompson. The son was educated in the common schools and studied medicine with his father, but mechanical work being more congenial he abandoned the medical profession and learned the watchmaker's trade. He opened a jewelry store which he conducted about twenty-five years. He came from Chautauqua County to Randolph in 1841. Since coming to Randolph he has been an extensive dealer in real estate and quite a manufacturer and shipper of lumber. Fifteen buildings in the village erected directly or indirectly by him are standing witnesses of his industry and energy. He is a man of fine scientific attainments and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He filled the chair of professor of physiology in the Randolph Eclectic Medical College, which was afterward merged into the New York Central Eclectic Medical Col! lege at Syracuse, which institution conferred upon him the honorary degree of M.D. The doctor is an able and eloquent lecturer on scientific subjects and possesses a special liking for physiology and archaeology. He wields an able and racy pen and has written numerous logical articles on science and several on religious questions. He is not considered "orthodox" by the clergy. He is versatile and lucid, and has a happy manner in communicating information to others. Ed.
