About twelve years ago Mr. and Mrs. Farr decided to leave Marion, selling their interest here and moving to Burlingame, where Mr. Farr went into partnership with Mr. McBurney in the dry goods business, but later sold out and engaged in the hardware business with Mr. Miner, in which business he was engaged at the time of his death.
Mr. Farr had been ailing for some time but had seemed to himself and friends to be improving, but it was only temporary and at noon on the 10th the end came. He leaves a wife and son to mourn his loss and to whom their many friends extend heartfelt sympathy.
The funeral was held on the 12th at three o'clock and was largely attended. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.
