BIOGRAPHY UPDATED on 12 May 23
John Farrell was born on 31 Jul 1875 in Gilmer County, West Virginia, although his exact birth location is unknown. His parents were Peter Farrell and Anna Cuff, although their spelling is somewhat inconsistent among sources throughout the years which I attribute to the difficulty in pronouncing and spelling their names.
