The funeral of Mr. Samuel A. Farnum, the venerable father of Mrs. P.O. Babcock, was held at the Methodist Church last Thursday, the 19th. The services were conducted by Rev. Abbott of the Baptist Church at Delaware, who was for many years Mr. Farnum's pastor. The deceased, who had been visiting with his daughter, had gone to visit a son in Cedar Rapids, where he died on the 17th, after a short illness. The remains were brought here for burial.
The deceased was born in Vermont, May 30, 1805 and was therefore more than 84 years old at the time of his death. He was married at the age of 20 to Orpha Pierce, and together the two had lived as husband and wife the remarkably long period of 64 years. The widow survives and is at present staying with her daughter, Mrs. Babcock.
The deceased removed to Marengo, Illinois in 1844, where he lived until 1860 when he took up his above in Monticello, Jones Co., IA, where he and his wife lived until 1872, when they removed to Bremer Co., Iowa where he and his wife has since lived.
