On May 4, 1927 the Larkins were married in Indian River. Mrs. Larkin at the time was residing in Sea View, which was actually a part of the Parish of St. Ann's. The Larkins had nine children, Mary, Eleanor, Father James, Earl, Melvin, Roland, Lloyd, Eugene and Ruth who died in infancy. Mr. Larkin operated the New Glasgow Creamery for many years. Although the family did move on a couple of occasions, St. Ann's Parish was always considered home.

Since Mrs. Larkin came to Hope River, the parish has had two churches and two parish houses. She has been a member of CWL for many years and always participated in the community functions.

Today, Mrs. Larkin lives in New Glasgow and still attends Church every Sunday and whenever possible throughout the week. She enjoys seeing her family visit and loves to reminisce about the past. She has a collection of photos and clippings of her children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren that she cherishes dearly.

Mrs. Larkin has very fond memories of bringing up her family in St. Ann's, and she is pleased that so many of her family have chosen to remain in the Parish.
