Isaac Faber, Civil War Veteran, Dies This A.M.

Isaac Farrer, aged 78 years, and a veteran of the Civil war, died this morning 
at 2:30 o’clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. A. Greenhoe, 215 North 
Dexter street.  Mr. Farrer was an old resident of Muir, and had been at the 
home of his daughter the past five or six weeks, death following an illness of 
three weeks.

Deceased was born in Genesee, N. Y., July 6, 1839.  Sept. 20, 1861, he enlisted 
at Warsaw, N. Y., in Company A, 9th New York Cavalry, was promoted to sergeant, 
and went through the entire service with his regiment, which has an enviable 
record.  June 9, 1863, he was wounded in the right foot by a fragment of shell 
at Beverly Ford, and was again wounded May 30, 1864, at Cold Harbor, in the 
breast by a spent ball, and was in the regimental hospital for some time.  He 
bore a conspicuous part in the fierce engagements of Jones Ford, Second Bull 
Run, Beverly Ford, Cold Harbor, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, and more than a 
score of other battles of the war, and was honorably discharged July 15, 1865 
at Clouds Mills, Va.

Nov. 28, 1869 he was married to Mary Stout at her home in Allegan county, 
Michigan, and three children were born to them, George, now deceased; Mrs. C. 
A. Greenhoe, and Mrs. Wm. Seabrook of this city.  Mr. Farrer was a member of 
Dresser Post, 100, G.A.R.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the home 
of Mr. and Mrs. Greenhoe and the remains will be taken to Muir Thursday for 
burial.
