Prominent among the physicians and surgeons of Oakland is Dr. A.S. Larkey, who though still young in his profession has won a reputation as a man of ability and stanch integrity. A native of the state, he is the son of John Larkey, who was born in Ohio and became one of the early pioneers of California.
Dr. Larkey was educated in the common and high schools of the state, and also received a university degree (Ph. B.) , after which he began to prepare for the medical profession by taking up the study of medicine in Hahnemann Medical College, of Philadelphia, receiving his degree of M.D. in the class of 1889. In order to put his theoretical knowledge into practice he spent two years as house surgeon in a hopital in New York, after which he located in Oakland, Cal. His choice of location has proved a fortunate one, for he has built up a lucrative practice and enjoys the confidence of all who have had dealing with him. Progressive and enterprising, Dr. Larkey keeps in touch with the advancements made in his profession through membership in the Alameda County, State and Amercan Medical Societies,

Article Title: Dr. Larkey of Oakland Dies, Known Here
Dr. A.S. Larkey, one of Oakland's most prominent physicians, and former resident of Contra Costa county, died Sunday night on an operating table at Fabiola Hospital after being found in his home, 1017 Ashmont avenue, in a serious condition.
Four Oakland surgeons were pressed into service and worked for hours in an effort to save Dr. Larkey, who was 54 years old. At his side constantly were Drs. J. Snow Ballard and C.H. Rowe.
His decline in health traces back to the influenza epidemic last year. His work was so exhausting he suffered a collapse which prevented him ever since from engaging in active practice.
Dr. Larkey was a leading member of the Alameda County Medical Association and of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce. He was a practicing physician in that city for thirty years. He was born in Contra Costa county and was graduated from the College of the Pacific in San Jose. His medical degree was received at Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia.
Dr. Larkey leaves a widow, Mrs. Ann N. Larkey, and two sons, Stanley [sic] and Jefferson, who attend University of California.
Dr. Larkey was the owner of the old Larkey ranch near Walnut Creek which was sold some time ago. He resided in Contra Costa county at one time and was widely known throughout this section.

Article Title: $225, 000 LEFT BY LARKEY IS GIVEN WIDOW
Subtitle: Court Holds $1200 Per Month Can Readily Be Paid Out of Income.
The will of Dr. Alonzo Sanford Larkey, who died September 26 last, has been admitted to probate by Superior Judge E.C. Robinson, who also granted to the widow, Mrs. Anne J. Larkey, a family allowance of $1200 a month.
The will, which was written 11 days before the testator's death and entirely in the handwriting of Dr. Larkey, left everything to the widow stating that she would make provision for the two sons, Sanford V. Larkey, 22, and Jefferson Larkey, 20, as well as Dr. Larkey's mother, Mrs. Martha E. Larkey.
The estate has not been appraised as yet, but it is said to total about $225,000, mostly in stocks, bonds and other securities, though there was some real estate in Oakland and a few thousand dollars in life insurance. The family home at 1017 Ashmount, one of the show places of Oakland, is the separate property of Mrs. Larkey.
The court found that the estate is amply able to pay the $1200 a month asked for, that the will was in his handwriting and that he was of sound mind when he made it.
