Richard Spencer Farr was a very successful engineer and inventor of Farr company products in the air filtration field. He was also a successful salesman of Farr products and helped the company reach prominence in its field. He had a very strong personality needing to dominate situations which caused some friction between his brother, Spence and himself in the business. He had a hard time letting go of the running of the business when it became necessary to turn it over to another chief executive, Allan Foy. Dad felt he held up the progress of the company for about 8 years. Despite this limitation he was a very entertaining personality always ready with a funny story or joke. He was married three times his first two wives dying. He had five children-Linda, Susan, Richard, Carol and Julie. Richard is the only one active in the business. Although a baptized Mormon he was not active. After a memorial service in Los Angeles, dad held one in Holiday Park on Sunday, August 28, 1988 and his ashes were scattered on the first crossing of the fish lake trail where it intersects with dry creek.

History of Chesterfield, Cheshire County, N.H. : from the incorporation of "Township Number One" by Massachusetts in 1736, to the year 1881 : together with family histories and genealogies
Brattleboro, Vt.: D. Leonard, printer, 1882, p. 158

A grist-mill was built near the confluence of the Lily Pond brook with the Catsbane, as early as 1767, and perhaps earlier. (See p. 39.) It was owned by Eleazer Cobleigh, Sen. Upwards of fifty years ago, the stones of which the dam of this mill was constructed were removed, and used in making the abutments of the bridge over the Catsbane, a short distance south-east of Ransom Farr's house.
The grist-mill now owned by Warren W.Farr, at the WestVillage, was originally a shop in which John Snow and Ora Farr manufactured, for a short time, scythes and hoes. It was afterwards used by Alpheius Snow for a blacksmith's shop. About fifty years ago it was converted into a grist-mill by Wm. R. Snow and 'Worcester Farr. the run of stones being taken from a mill that stood where the Butler saw-mill now stands, on the upper part of the Catsbane.

From Vanessa:
I have one more item found in the probate papers of Cheshire Co., NH. The estate of Ora Farr, widow Hannah, was distributed to the following people:

Emily Chamberlain  (daughter, wife of Alfred Chamberlain)
Marshall H Farr  (son)
Hoyt F Farr  (son)
Larkin L Farr  (son)
Norman H Farr  (son)
George R Farr (son)

The list does not include a son Ora Farr. The list of children for Ora and Hannah Farr in the Chesterfield town records also does not include an Ora (though such lists are sometimes not definitive). I attached these two documents to the correct persons' profiles.

I think that Ora Farr (L1S9-Y68) born 1828 in VT is probably the same person as Ora Farr (LCQS-MB8) b. ~1820 NH, and is a son of Erastus Farr.

1830 Sutton, Caledonia, VT

Erastus Far  111001       101001

The male child 0-4 years old would be Ora, and the male 5-9 would be his brother Hiram (b. 1821).

There are several land deeds in Sutton between Ora and Hiram, involving "land owned by Erastus Farr at his decease". Ora mortgaged some of this land to Hiram twice. One of the mortgaged properties included a barn on land owned by Joanna Stoddard, and a dwelling house built on the end of David and Joanna Stoddard's house, "my now dwelling house".

I have now finished reviewing the Farr probate papers of Cheshire Co., NH.

Best regards,

Vanessa

I think the reason we can't find her death is because she probably remarried after John Snow died.

Rachel was first married to Dr. James Farr and then after he died, she married John Snow her brother in law who had first married her husband's sister, Achsah.

Rachel is mentioned in her father's will as "Rachael widow of John Snow".
