"......daughter of Sylvester and Cornelia (Cronkhite) Larabee. Mrs. Young's mother was born

in Warren county, Indiana, but her father was a native of Ohio, from which state he came to

this county and was one of the early settlers. ...........Sylvester Larabee, mentioned above,

came to Indiana when nineteen years of age and settled near Newtown, Fountain county,

where he followed farming, later moving to Warren county and two years later he settled in

Steuben township and there he and Cornelia Cronkhite were married, February 22, 1876.

They are still living in this county, actively engaged in farming. They are the parents of eight

children, namely: The eldest died in infancy; Lilly May was next in order; Sherman lives in

Warren county; Clara Belle married Clinton Galloway; Amanda is deceased; Blanche married

Herman Steveron, and they live in Illinois; Carman is at home; Watson is deceased."

"I know Sylvester Joel Larrabee as 'Uncle Ves' because my father and mother always referred

to him as 'Uncle Ves'.  Uncle Ves was a large man and lived in West Lebanon, Indiana, in his

later years."
