EDWARD N LARRABEE was born on 17 Nov 1825 [grave] in Kennebunk, Maine, the son of Eben and Mercy (Nason) Larrabee. He died in Kennebunk on 3 July 1900 from heart disease at age 74 yrs, 7 mos, 16 das [ME death rec] and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Kennebunk [YCCI, pg 923].
He married on 23 Dec 1849 in Kennebunk, ME [Kenn VR] to MARY GOOCH, the daughter of Daniel and Priscilla (Huff) Gooch, and brother of Charles W Gooch, who served alongside Edward in Co I of the 27th ME. She was born in Kennebunk on 6 Oct 1825 [gs] and died of apoplexy in Kennebunk on 19 Apr 1901 [gs; ME death rec], aged 75 yrs, 6 mos, 13 das and is buried in Evergreen Cem.
Edward was a house carpenter, living in Kennebunk for much of his life, save for a small time around the 1850 census when he was located in Portland. Both the 1862 and '63 Adjutant's Report for the 27th ME show Edward as being 26 years of age, but original enlistment roll shows correct age of 36.
Census records of 1870 and 1880 show this couple with only the following child, though 1900 seems to indicate that Mary had 4 children born to her [may be error]:
