He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church for many years but later in life became a member of the M.E. church, South and lived a member of this church until death. The writer, who had been his pastor for four years, at the request of his family, conducted his funeral services at Oakley Chapel and in the midst of a large crowd of sympathizing friends and relatives his remains were tenderly consigned to their last resting place. Bro. Farmer was a good man and had often told the writer of his faith in God and his readiness to depart and to be at peace. His wife and children sorrow not as those who have no hope. Y.A. Gilmore.
