General Notes: Husband - John W. Farrar

---

He attended the schools of Smith Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, until he was old enough to give his father appreciable help on the farm and he continued to assist until his father died. Then, together with his brother Clark, he took charge of the operation of the farm and together they managed it for a number of years, when, on account of failing health, he rented out his portion and went to Kansas. After an absence of five years, he returned and settled again on his property, resuming general farming. The Pittsburgh and Eastern Coal Company had a lease on the farm, which had fourteen oil wells in operation.
Mr. Farrar was one of the recognized good citizens of his township, always taking an interest in its progress and continually adding to its material development. In politics he was a Republican. For three years he was auditor of Smith Township and in June, 1909, he was elected a member of the school board, to serve until 1912. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
