He became a fisherman and ship carpenter by trade. He then settled in Marinette County. Larsin was serving as an alderman for the City of Marinette (which had annexed Menekaunee) when he was elected in 1890 from the Assembly"s Marinette County district as a Union Labor Party candidate, with 1,465 votes to 1034 for Republican Charles Reinke and 179 for Prohibitionist Jacob Lindern (Democratic incumbent Patrick Clifford was not a candidate for re-election).
The only Union Labor member elected to either house that year, he was assigned to the standing committees on roads and bridges, and on labor and manufactures.
He ran for re-election in 1892 on the Populist ticket, but came in fourth in a four-way race with 6.51% of the vote, with the seat being claimed by Democrat Charles Daily.
