General Notes for Child Thomas Larkin WHEELER
Thomas L. married Mary Caroline Banks, on Oct. 16, 1875. She was small
of stature and was called 'teeny'. Times were hard in those days and
crafts were learned as a supplement to farming as a means of support.
T.L. became a craftsman in the making of small sitting chairs. Many of
them still exist today, in good condition, made without glue or nails.
He also kept a large apple orchard. Added to that, he was known as 'Bee
Larkin' because of his productive bee hives. A dram of whiskey in the
morning and one at night was the order of the day forT.L. His sons tried
to find the hiding places for his bottles but usually failed. Known as a
harsh man, he could nonetheless be helpful to those in need and was said
to be honest in character. Both he and 'Teeny' became almost deaf in
later years and constantly misunderstood each other. One incidence of
this will suffice. He once asked for a towel [Editor: he probably said,
'Where's the taal?'] and Teeny thought he said 'cow' and told him it was
in the barn! from'History of Toe River Valley' submitted by Blanche
