From The History of Rush County (IN); 1920; Indianapolis
William A. Farthing, who was born in Rush county, grew to manhood in Franklin county, was married there. After the latter event he located on a small farm in that county, but several years later he moved to Howard county, Indiana, where he bought eighty acres of land and devoted himself to its cultivation. He was successful and gradually increased his land holdings there to 250 acres. He remained in Howard county until 1873, when he disposed of his holdings there and, coming to Rush county, bought the land where his son, Edward, now lives, the entire tract then comprising 234 acres. Here he conducted general farming and stock raising, with considerable success, until his retirement, when he moved to Clarksburg, where he lived until going to make his home with his daughter near Indianapolis, where his death occurred in January, 1902. He was a man of active and industrious habits, keen and sagacious in his dealings and at one time was the owner of 284 acres of land.
