Elkhorn Independant- 17 Aug 1899
Died at daughter's house, Mrs. W.H. Moorhouse, in Chicago, IL.
She was a native of England, emigrated soon after her marriage to George 
Farrar.  They lived in Ogdensburg, NY, before moving to Elkhorn.  Since George 
Farrar's death in 1888, she had lived with her daughter in Chicago, though she 
had made trips back to Elkhorn, whenever possible.  
She belonged to the Episcopal Church as a youth, but joined the Methodist 
Church when she married George Farrar.
She had 12 children, three of whom died as children.  The other nine survived 
her.
Those at the funeral included: Mr. and Mrs. W.H. (Fannie)Moorhouse and their 
daughter, Sibyl; Miss Mary Farrar, all of Chicago, IL; Mrs. Eliza Payne,

She was buried in Hazel Ridge Cemetary, Elkorn, beside her husband, George.

of George H. Farrar.  Mrs. Edna (Farrar) Platt was her granddaughter, the 
daughter of William Henry Farrar.  Miss Ruth Hall was the child of Cora (Ava)
