CUE..(ffIm, PENNSYLVANIA. I-ION. JOHN LARKIN, JIL No HISTORY of Chester would be complete without mention of the above named gentleman. Although in his 85th year, he is still hale and vigorous, with a mind as clear as most men twenty years his junior. He was bom in Concord township, this county, in 18°4, where he remained on the farm until he attained his majority, when he followcd the watcr, and ultimately becamc captain of a vessel. He was a disciple of Neptune for seven years. In 1840 he was elected Sheriff of thc county. He afterwards rcpresented his people in the State Legislature, and when, in J866, the city was incorporated, he became its first Mayor, and was re-elected again for another term in 1869, and refused to accept an)' salary. He was on9 of thc prime movers in the establishment of the Rural Cemetery, and was the first president of the Chester Mutual Insurance Company, and for nearly or quite twenty years was presidcnt of the First National Bank. Hc has done more for the improvemcnt of the Second \Vard than any dozcn men, and many of our citizens owe their start in life to his gcnerous impulses. •
