General Notes: Husband - William Carlisle Farren

---

Another source states that he was born in 1869.
He was born on the farm where his father was reared. He had ordinary common school advantages, and his active years have been devoted principally to work in the oil fields. About 1913 he took the position of pumper for the Pine Tree Oil Company, operating on his property, the Major farm, a tract of 117 acres in Clinton Township formerly owned by the Majors, of Akron, Ohio, and which has proved to be valuable oil territory, twenty-nine wells being in operation there now [1919], producing second sand oil. The work is being done under lease, Mr. Farren holding only the surface of the land, which is cultivated and in good condition. He carried on farming along with his duties as pumper, giving thorough satisfaction by his reliable and intelligent services, which were appreciated by his employers as well as his associates, and has become well and favorably known in the locality, where his sterling character and diligence in business gained him the high regard of his fellow citizens. He left the farm in the fall of 1918, having taken a situation as engineer with the Annandale Coal Company, with the intention of following this work until his son's return from France, and is now residing at Annandale (post office Boyers), Butler County. [CAB, 1042]

After the death of his wife, her sister, Melissa McConnell, kept house for Mr. Farren and his family.
