General Notes: Husband - Edward B. Tarr

---

The spring after their marriage he and his wife moved to a farm where their son Henry would later reside, Mr. Tarr having secured fifty acres of timberland, and all he had to begin with was fifty dollars and an ox team. But he was strong and willing, and he had a wife as ambitious and enterprising as himself, and he set out bravely in the hope of a success which he realized splendidly. He was able to add to his original fifty acres until he had three hundred, of which he placed 175 under cultivation, developing one of the most productive tracts in the whole township. He was also one of the leading stock men of his vicinity, having a first-class property in every respect. The buildings which he erected were fully up to the best local standards, the barn that he put up in 1880 being the best in the county at that time; it was burned in 1899. Most of his tract was oil territory, about 225 acres having been leased for production.
