Garrard County Veteran Dies at Confederate Home.
News was received here here Wednesday of the death at the Confederate Home, at Peewee Valley, of R. Clark Farris, who has been living there about two years, having been struck with paralysis. He was long a resident of Garrard county and no man in this part of the State was better known or stood higher in the esteem of all.
Mr. Farris was 72 years of age at the time of his death. He was a brother of the late John R. Farris. Mr. Farris' wife died some years ago and he leaves one daughter, Mrs. George Holmes, of Lexington, Mr. T.S. Farris, of California, better known as "Bub", and three sisters, Mrs. John Engleman, Sr. and Mrs. C.V. Gentry, of this city, and Mrs. Sam Engleman, of California.
He was a member of Capt. Bob Logan's company, as was his brother John, and served with Morgan, being captured in the Ohio Raid. He and his brother saved the life of Col. Grigsby when Morgan and his brave men swam the Ohio river. Grigsby's horse was killed at half way and the two brothers at great peril to themselves turned their horses, and their colonel grasping a stirrup leather of each saddle, they landed him safely on the other shore.
Mr. Farris' remains were buried in the old soldiers' cemetery at the Home where so many of his brave comrades lie, there to await the last reveille on resurrection morn.
