*Obituary
Prairie Grove Herald
Thursday, June 12, 1913
FARMER, C.O. - Mr. C.O. Farmer died Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock at his home near Pleasant Home Church Southwest of Prairie Grove after a protracted illness of tubercular disease. His death was not a surprise but its announcement brought a keen sense of sorrow to many a heart who had long known and loved this good man a true and tried friend. He was one of the most highly respected citizens of this part of the county. He lived a quiet God fearing life, but was ever ready to respond to the call of duty, no matter what the hardship or the sacrifice. Mr. Farmer was born in Mississippi on March 22, 1845 and came to Arkansas in 1869 and had made his home in this county since that time. He was married June 11, 1871, and was the parent of ten children, eight of whom were with him in his last illness. He was converted and joined the Baptist Church in 1869 and had been a deacon in that church for 34 years. Few men could equal his record for regularity at church service, He was an ex-Confederate soldier having been a member of the 21st Alabama Cavalry and served under Gen, Forrest. The funeral services were held at Pleasant Home Church Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock, conducted by Rev. H.C. Winstead and Rev. J.F. Parker. The burial was made in the graveyard near the church. The large attendance of friends at the service was a fitting tribute to this good man.
