Capt. Faragher came from the Isle of Man when he was 8 [18] years old. His father - also Capt. John Faragher - was likewise a builder of ships. The elder Faragher brought his family to America from the Isle of Man in a vessel he had built. The voyage took three months - a strange contrast to the round-the-world trip of the Graf Zeppelin.

A Perilous Passage

The ship in which the Faraghers sailed encountered heavy storms. The mast was snapped off. Repairs had to be made and there were many hardships.

The elder Faragher brought his family to Ohio and settled in Warrensville. Northern Ohio was selected as a home site because the elder Faragher desired a place where all his sons could have farms.

Their mutual interest in shipbuilding brought the Moore and the Faragher families together, and so it happened that a daughter of the Moores married a son of the Faraghers.

At first they lived near the Moore home at Cleveland Beach, but later the 100-acre farm, a little to the west along the lake shore, was bought.

The farm prospered under Capt. Faragher and his wife. Cleveland was their market. They raised the usual variety of farm products - grain, hay, fruit, poultry and vegetables.
