Farris passed to the beyond at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James Baggett, 22 July 1909. Bro. Farris first saw the light of day in Tennessee, 19 Oct. 1843. In 1861 he donned the uniform of gray and spent the first years of his early manhood in defending what he believed to be the right and when the white angel of peace passed over our loved land he sticked his arms and did what he could to make the great nation one country, one flay. August 1, 1891 the companion of his young manhood passed away and they now rest side by side in Wesley Chapel cemetery. Survived: two daughters - Mrs. James Baggett, Mrs. A.L. Raper and one son - Thomas Farris.
