Desirable Lots in East Brainerd.
_____
"Spring, gentle spring," is fast approaching, and with it comes the time when those intending to build will be quickly securing lots. Messrs. Farrar & Forsyth have in their plat of lots at East Brainerd some very desirable ones for dwelling and business purposes. On Kindred street from First avenue for three and a half blocks east are some fine store lots. Mr. Brockway is erecting a store on the corner of First avenue and Kindred, and on this plat, which extends three blocks north from Kindred, and three and one-half east from First avenue, are 45 dwellings already. Many more lots are sold and will be built upon this spring. To the east of their plat are some fifteen or twenty houses on the Smelt and Haines lots, and these sixty-five families alone make quite a neighborhood and a good field for retail tradesmen who may establish themselves on Kindred street.
Good residence lots remain unsold—one or two on First avenue, a few on Second and Third avenues, and quite a number equally good on Fourth avenue.
These gentlemen have a fifty acre lot to the north of those mentioned, which they will have laid out during the coming season. Messrs. Farrar & Forsyth are both well known, and all who have to do with them may be sure of fair dealing. (Brainerd Tribune, 18 March 1882, p. 1, c. 5)
On Monday O. P. Stearns, judge of the Eleventh judicial district, appointed E. Y. Farrar, L. P. White and J. A. Davis as appraisers for property in Crow Wing county to be affected by the overflow from the building of the dam across the Mississippi river, the first meeting to be held at the court house in this city June 7th at 10 a. m. The commissioners for Cass county are A. E. Horr, Thos. J. Nary and D. P. Bigger, the first meeting of this commission to be held June 1st at the West Brainerd school house. (Brainerd Dispatch, 28 May 1886, p. 4, c. 7)
E. Y. Farrar has been afflicted with a very peculiar illness for some days past, that of bleeding at the eyes, nose and ears, which could not be stopped for a considerable length of time. He is now slowly improving. (Brainerd Dispatch, 31 December 1886, p. 4, c. 3)
E. Y. Farrar Dead.
Edwin Y. Farrar died suddenly at his home in East Brainerd on Friday night, May 11th, 1894, of apoplexy, aged 67 [sic] years, 6 months and 22 days. The news of his death on Saturday morning was such a surprise and shock to his many friends, that it was almost impossible to believe the report. Mr. Farrar had been feeling somewhat poorly a week previous to his death, but had recovered, and until a few moments before he died, was in his usual health. Deceased for many years has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Forsyth, and on the evening in question, at about 11 o'clock, he complained of feeling ill again, and arose from his chair going to the door. He was assisted back to his chair by Mrs. Forsyth, who administered remedies to revive him, but he was unable to swallow the medicine, and in a very few moments passed away.
E. H. Farrar, of Omaha, telegraph line chief, and Arthur C. Farrar, of Duluth, a Northern Pacific locomotive engineer, sons of the deceased were immediately notified of his death, the latter gentleman being on his engine in the yard here when informed of the sad occurrence. The funeral services were conducted from the house on Monday afternoon, Revs. G. H. Davis and T. Merrill Edmands officiating, the members of the Masonic fraternity, of which order deceased was a member, attending in a body, after which the remains were laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery.
Deceased was a brother of A. P. Farrar, of this city, and was highly respected by all who knew him. His native state was New Hampshire, but in early life he took up his home in Michigan City, Ind., being employed for some years as master mechanic for the Michigan Central road. He removed to Brainerd in 1878, and held the position of general foreman of the shops here for four years. Mr. Farrar was connected with Geo. Forsyth in the real estate business from 1880 to the time of his death, those gentlemen having platted East Brainerd.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Again the fraternal chain is broken and a brother has gone to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. On May 11th, with short warning, Bro E. Y. Farrar passed away, and we are reminded with startling force of the uncertainty of life, and the necessity of preparation for the future temple of existence in the celestial lodge above.
In the death of Bro. Farrar, late a member of Three Oaks Lodge No. 239, state of Mich., masonry loses a valuable member and this community a good and order loving citizens, whose counsels were always sound. He will be greatly missed by neighbors and friends in this city where he has long been a resident, and be it
RESOLVED, the Aurora Lodge No. 100, A. F. & A. M., that we tender to his sons and near friends our profound sympathy in their affliction, and commend them to Him who alone can conduct us through the dark valley of the shadow of death, and land our spirits in the peaceful abodes of the blessed.
RESOLVED, that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the lodge and an engrossed copy be forwarded to his sons and to Bro. Geo. Forsyth, whose time honored friend he was.
