  	JOHN FARVER. John Farver immigrated to Vermillion Township, with his wife and two children, on the 29th of April, 1817, and commenced improvement on his present farm, being the west half of the northeast quarter of section 2. Mr. Farver's whole moneyed resources, when he settled in the county, amounted to twelve dollars. His first stock of corn was purchased on Owl Creek at fifty cents per bushel. Four days were occupied in the journey to and from Owl Creek, and a team of three horses labored hard to drag fifteen bushels of corn over the roads in their then condition. His first crop of wheat, raised in 1817, he commenced harvesting on the twentieth of August. The wheat was none too ripe. Corn, pumpkins, and all other crops were proportionately late. Mr. Farver has this day (14th of July, 1862,) reached his seventy-sixth birthday, and enjoys moderate health.
