Brother to Robert in this cemetery. Father was William and mother was Elizabeth Brown Farrey. Grandparents were Thomas and Jane Dunn Farrey of Co. Durham, Eng.
Children of Henry and Mary include Emma J abt 1883, Evalina abt 1886, George abt 1889, Bessie abt 1890, William abt 1893 and Etta abt 1896.
Henry Farrey was born in Crook Co., Durham, England, Jan. 26, 1851, and died at Benton, Wis., July 6, 1916, at the age of 65 yrs., 5 mos., 10 days.
They settled at Coon Branch, three miles south of Benton, where he grew to manhood.
He was married to Mary Hoffman of Leadmine, Wis., Oct. 6, 1881, and to this union were born nine children, three having died in infancy. The other six viz: Mrs. A. Pedley of Benton, Mrs. John Redfern, Mrs. Francis Bancroft, Mrs. Frank Driscoll of Leadmine, George of North New Diggings, and Willie at home, who are left with their mother to mourn the death of a loving husband and father.
Mr. Farrey went to Leadmine in early manhood where he engaged in farming and mining, being one of the promoters of the Coltman mine. He purchased the farm which he still owns, and this was his home until a few years ago, when he retired from active service in life and purchased the Hoffman home at Leadmine, where he resided at the time of his death.
When but a young man in his teens, his father went to the Civil War, and being the eldest member of the family he was left with his mother to support a family of nine.
He was a man of noble character, a true friend, a kind neighbor and loving parent, and has done much for the community in which he lived. He was of a jovial disposition and also had a word of cheer for all he met. He was also a lover of children and will be greatly missed in his home and community.
He was a member of a family of nine children who all grew to the age of maturity, and which was not broken until July 26, 1915, when his sister, Mrs. Jane A. Ewing was called to the Great Beyond. Two of the family have passed away within a year, but the Lord's will be done, and they were ready to do his bidding.
Mr. Farrey has always enjoyed good health and only his immediate friends knew of his ailing strength. He was as well as usual and left his home after dinner to come to Benton on business. He visited with several friends and went to the depot for freight. After loading his freight, he was talking with some men when the messenger of death summoned him, and he left this world without a murmur of pain or a word of consolation. His death was a great shock to his family and friends.
Besides his wife and children he leaves to mourn his death, ten grandchildren, three sisters and four brothers and a number of other relatives.
The funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon and the remains were taken to the PM church at Leadmine where Rev. J.D. Blenkinsopp rendered a very appropriate service, assisted by the ME choir of Benton.
The remains were carried to their final resting place, by six of his old friends and associates viz: John Tracy, Wm. Sides, Jas. Fox, H. Grotkin, Ed. Duval, Chas. Robins.
Leadville Lodge No. 168, I.O.O.F. of which the deceased was a member had charge of the services at the grave. Several members from neighboring lodges assisted with the services.
Although he has gone from his earthly home his memory and influence still remain.
