FARRAR, DICKEY



P. E. FARRAR, farmer, is a son of Joseph* and Elizabeth FARRAR.  The father

was born in one of the Carolinas in 1811, and came to Lincoln County with

his parents when but a lad.  After marriage he located in the Thirteenth

District, where he still lives, and is a farmer by occupation.  The mother

of our subject was born in Lincoln County in 1814, and was married about

1831.  She and her husband have been living together longer than any other

couple in the district.  Our subject was born in Lincoln County in October,

1850, and is one of twelve children born to his parents.  He received his

education in the district schools, and remained with his parents until he

was twenty-five years of age.  In 1875 he married N. J. DICKEY, a native of

Lincoln County, born in 1855, and the daughter of Alfred and Eliza DICKEY.

The fruits of this union were an interesting family of five children:

Lizzie, Myrtle, Nannie L., Annie B. and Edna.  After marriage our subject

bought a farm in the Twelfth District, but remained there only three years,

when he disposed of that place and bought 200 acres in the Thirteenth

District, where he now resides.  Mr. FARRAR had two brothers who served in

the late unpleasantness between the North and South.  One brother, John,

was killed after a service of about four years.  Mr. FARRAR and wife are

members of the church and are among the county's best citizens.
