OLIVER RUSSELL FARNHAM.


%. R. Farnham was born Dec. 23d,
1888 at the old Farnham homestead, now
occupied by a brother E. G. Farnham.
He had lived all his life in Shoreham ex.
ceptlng few years in West Cornwall.
He was married March 1S, 1859 to Jane
Ellen Newell and to them were born
seven children. three dying in infancy.
His wife died April 6, 1888. On Oct. l,
1884 he married Lucy Newell, a sister of
mis- first wife.
Mr.. Farnham had been in poor health
for more than three years, at one time
for several weeks not expected to live
from day to day, but he got much better
and was able to look after his farm work
and ride some, until few weeks ago
some of his old ailments came upon him
and 1t was soon seen that help must be
immediate or it would be too late. He
went to the Mary Fletcher hospital at
Burlington, stayed awhile and came
home, deriving very little help. He
soon grew worse and returned TO the hos
pital, hoping that treatment there might
be benefit, if not restoration to health.
1t was vain hope as he grew worse and
died at that place on Sunday, May 80,
and on Monday his body was brought to
his old home. On Wednesday funeral
exercises were held there, Rev. Charles
Waite of Shoreham conducting them.
Mrs. Albert Smith, Mrs. Burge, G. N,
North and S. Northrup sang Brock of
Ages" and go Bury Thy Sorrow" The
bearers were William and Arthur, sons,

ard and G. H. DeLong, nepbews, all of
Shoreham and Orson Briggs, a brother
in-law of Leicester. Mr.. Farnham leaves
/ N
porous physician of Lincoln, Neb., who
was not present owing to ill health,
William and Arthur of Shoreham and a
daughter Jane, wife of Rev. j. Ii. Boose
of Pontiac, ILL.,, who came with her two
childre n few weeks ago for visit to
her old home. A profusion of choice
flowers were the kind offerings of love
and remembrance.
Mr.. Farnham had lived for several
wears on his farm which he had improved
in many ways since its purchase, repair
ing and undermining his house and barns
and improving his farm in many ways
until it had come to be a pleasant, at
tractive farmers home. He had always
been interested in town affairs, at one
time one of the board of school commits
sioners, attending to that duty faithfully
and we'll But he was home man and
in the last years OF his life he spent time,
money and energy there to make it the
best place on earth, and it was his hap
piness to gather bis children and grand
children there, himself as merry as any
In that home not only the latch string
was out but the doors were Wide open
and many have found there haven of
rest in times of trouble and homelessness,
their lives made brighter and happier by
a welcome into that home whose gracious
master and mistress hoped to ease the
hearts of all.
Once more the call has come and been
answered. A good neighbor. a loving
husband and father heard, and has gone
from among us to be known no more.
The family have the sympathy OF
many friends in this bereavement which
has come to them in the death of husband
and father. Il
