Nathaniel Farr Signature

Nathaniel was over 86 yrs. old when he signed his declaration of pension. He told the story of his service in presence of Reuben Washburn, his attorney hired to secure the pension, (Reuben was father of Gov. Peter T. Washburn of Vt.) and Jabez Proctor (who was the father of Gov. Redfield Proctor who would later be America's Secretary of War) Nathaniel Farr was clear of mind and proud to relate his experience. This signature is important showing that he was a learned man. The majority of pensioners at his age could not write their own name and signed with a Mark of "X"

Farr Cemetery in Proctorsville, VT

This is a family cemetery located right on the Nathaniel Farr Farm (owned in 2012 by George Timko and family). There are 13 graves in this cemetery, but fieldstone markers were used instead of headstones. We know most all that are buried within its stoned in wall. This farm has a natural spring with two beautiful natural ponds - upper and lower ponds.
