Dink Farmer, Lincoln county's popular jailer, has just received a copy of the Sutter County (California) Farmer, telling of the death of his cousin, Hon. L.P. Farmer who was born in Lincoln county and left here many years ago for the golden west. He made a fortune there, and became one of the most prominent citizens of his community. Many of the older residents of this section will remember him. The Yuba City paper said of his death: Death has called another old pioneer and one whom all know and highly respected. Lewis P. Farmer, whose illness has been severe for the past year or two, passed away at his home near O'Banion Corners in this county, last Tuesday, and his taking off leaves another place vacant in the ranks of the substantial citizens of Sutter county. Mr. Farmer was born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, February 7th, 1834, being over 76 years of age at the time of his death. He came of patriotic stock, his paternal grandfather having fought in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Farmer removed to Missouri in 1856, and engaged in farming and in 1864 near the close of the Civil War came to California by the Isthmus route, locating in Sutter county. He secured employment on the Hock Farm, the old home of General Sutter, and latter bought a tract of land where his present home is located. He followed the farming industry having good success. Mr. Farmer took an active interest in public affairs and was Supervisor of this county for eight years, serving as Chairman of the Board. He was also one of the principal workers in the Anti-Debris Association, which put a check on the hydraulic mining evil. Mr. Farmer was married November 27, 1861, in Missouri, to Miss Elizabeth Bailey, sister of George Bailey, also of this county, and they had five children, four of whom are living: Lee J. Farmer, Mrs. Emily C. Carpenter, and Mrs. Alice Mangel of this county, and Miss Estille Laramore of Chico. The deceased was a man of high qualities, kind and charitable, public-spirited and always ready to assist in legitimate local enterprises. He was a man who united sound sense with strong convictions, and eminently fitted to mould the rude elements of pioneer society into form and consistency, and aid in raising a high standard of citizenship. How much the community owes him and such as he, it is impossible to estimate, though it would be a grateful task to trace his influence through some of the more direct channels, to hold him up in his various characters of husband and father, neighbor and friend, to speak of children he has reared to perpetuate his name and emulate his virtues. The funeral will take place this Friday morning from the residence, services being held at 10 o'clock interment in the Sudder (sic) City Cemetery.
