Mrs. G. W. Farmer Funeral Rites Held Monday
Funeral Service for Mrs. George W. Farmer, 92, who died in her sleep early Sunday morning, were held Monday a 4 p.m. from the College Street Church of Christ with Walter W. Leamons, minister, officiating, assised by the Rev. Thomas D. Murphy, Presbyterian minister. The Hodges Funeral Home had charge of arrangements. Burial was made in the Junction Cemetery.
Mrs. Farmer, pioneer settler and homemaker on the F6 Ranch for almost 68 years, was visiting in the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Farmer, at the time of her death. She was feeling as well as usual when she went to sleep. Her daughter-in-law made her customary visit to the elderly lady after the latter had retired. Earlier in the day she had made 3 pairs of cloth mittens for her surveyor son, had taken a car ride in the afternoon, and sat for a while after supper with her handiwork.
Mrs. Farmer, born Jemima Magnolia Pullen, June 29, 1855 near Lockhart, saw the unification and development of the nation despite 4 major wars in her lifetime, the spread of the ranching industry, and the development of business in the Hill Country.
She was married to George W. Farmer, a cowman with a record of 3 trips up the trail, on Oct. 8, 1874. Five years later, seeking a better climate for her husband's health, they moved to Kimble. For 21 days she and her husband and 2 small children traveled by ox wagon and hack, bringing household goods, horses, cattle and sheep. The extensive, 30 section ranch which they established, took its name from the F6 brand they brought from Caldwell County. It was the second ranch in the county to be fenced. They built the first lumber house west of Junction. The first lumber hauled from Round Rock was washed away by a flood in Copperas Creek the night after it was unloaded ... night because of coyotes and
foxes. Fences were often cut. In 1886 the first goats were brought to the ranch---100 head of young nannies. From them grew the thousands that later stocked the ranch. Two trips per year were made to San Antonio for supplies. Groceries were purchased in wholesale lots--flour and dried apples by the barrel, coffee by the sack an canned goods by the case, A garden, irrigated by a nearby spring, provided fresh vegetables. The kerosene lamps of those days have been replaced by electricity. Better roads have been built and soil conservation practices followed at the F6 Ranch, and landing strips have been provided.
Since the death of Mr. Farmer in 1927, Mrs. Farmer has spent her time visiting with her children, and the ranch has been operated by her sons and grandchildren.
She had been a member of the Church of Christ, having been baptized by the late John S. Durst. Survivors include 3 sons, Asa, Hardy and Sayers, 8 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and 1 sister, Mrs. M. E. Holland of Christoval.
Pallbearers were Gully Cowset, Alfred Bannowsky, Clay Holland, Fred Mudge, C. T. Holekamp, Asa Murr, Seaton Prentice and S. O. Durst of Port Arthur.
