September 13, 1840 - November 8, 1902
*Obituary (as written)
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, November 13, 1902
FARRENBURG, John C. - John C. Farrenburg died Saturday noon at one o'clock at his home on West Walnut Street. Mr. Farrenburg had been confined to his bed for several months and his death had been expected hourly for several days. His death was the result of a malignant tumor. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the residence and were conducted by Elder T.J. Keller. This arrangement was one of the last requests of the deceased. The attendance at the funeral was large. Mr. Farrenburg was born in Lancaster county, Ohio and was 62 years, 1 month and 25 days old. He had been a resident of Rogers for twenty years, coming here in August of 1882. On November 8, 1884, just eighteen years before the day of his death, he was married to Miss Emma Riggs of Rogers. To them were born four children - Pearl, Dot, Walter and Polly - all of whom are still living. For six years - 1889 to 1895 - Mr. Farrenburg was a partner of T.J. Keller in the harness business. He was one of the heaviest owners of business property on Walnut Street, owning a half-interest in the Union Block, the bricks occupied by Tom Brandon and Mrs. Carse, and the brick occupied by Dyer & Rebholtz. He also owned the brick occupied by Sager Bros. The death of Mr. Farrenburg removes one of the pioneers of Rogers and a man who has always been ready to back his belief in the future of the town by his liberal investments. He was a strong advocate of temperance and cast his influence at every election on that side. His death is not only a loss to his family and friends, but to the entire community.
