ELMER AND GEORGIA (GRANT) FARR
Elmer and Georgia (Grant) Farr came to Fayette County in the early 1900s to a farm northeast of Waucoma from Vernon County, WI. Their children were Carol, Clifford and Donald E.; Ralph died in infancy. Carol was a school teacher and later married Fritz Krause; they farmed near Renwick, IA. Clifford, a buttermaker. married Jessie Brooks of Ottumwa, IA. Their daughter. Martha (Farr) Pittman. resides in Pittsburgh PA.  Donald E., an engineer, married Helen Rose Hill of Pittsburgh, PA. Their daughter, Lynn (Farr) Wholebee, resides in Pittsburgh, PA, and their son, Donald R., resides in Paradise Valley, IA. Donald E.'s company was NCS (National Consulting Services). NCS served entrepreneur­al companies worldwide. He was in charge of all foreign operations. Donald R Farr married Mary Jane Hills; he has a National Consulting Service. Recently Donald R. contacted Edith Mann through a mutual relative which caused Edith to research the Farrs. She had worked for Elmer and Georgia when they resided near Wau­oma. These are descendants of Samuel F. Farr, Sr. and Hannah Whitney born in Stowe, MA, in the ate 1600s. Elmer Farr was a successful Fayette County Farmer noted for his fine stock of Holstein cattle and Duroc swine. His wife, Georgia, raised Leg­horn and Barred Rock chickens (using her own incubator) not only for their use, but a supple­ment for their income. Georgia died in 1941, Elmer in 1947. The Jack Adams family presently owns and operates the former Farr farm.

From the research of Karen Farr:
Came to Lorain County Ohio from Vermont in 1817.
Source: 1807 History of Lorain County Ohio, Philadelphia: Williams Brothers 1879:
Pg. 245 Carlisle Settlement. paragraph 2: "A few months after Mr. Bacon made a commencement, a brother-in-law, Abel Farr, came on from Vermont and located on the north line and near the center east and west. His family that came with him was a wife and four children. Others who were married remained in Vermont; two came on afterwards and  settled near the father. None of them now live in the township, and the only descendants are the widow and  children of a son, Lowell, who was one of the children who came with the family."

Notes by Tim Farr:
In the first paragraph of the above citation it states that John Bacon of Windham Vermont was the first settler in Carlisle. He came with his children;Clarrissa, Hiram and Susan. Hiram married Louisa Halford. Abel's son, Lowell, married Phebe Loretta Holford. This would make Abel Farr and John Bacon In-laws not brother-in-laws.
