FARLOW, Nathan, Paoli Republican (April 23, 1890) Death Notice
Uncle Nathan Farlow was born in Orange County, North Carolina May 20th, 1810. His father, Joseph Farlow, with a company numbering about seventy persons, removed to this county, landing at the "Half Moon Spring," on Doll Braxtan's farm, May 2, 1811. Their first work was to build a "stockade" or "Block House" as a means of defending themselves against the murderous attacks of the savage. The most of the company were Quakers and their main object in planting this little colony in the then far west was to place their children where they might bring them up free from the contaminating influences of human slavery. In a short time a few of the members settled within the limits of Beech Grove meeting, and as early as 1823 or 1824, Beech Grove meeting was established and the subject of this brief memorial, a lad of 13 or 14 summers, was regularly taken to church twice each week and this influence, together with the pious teaching of Godly parents at home, was never forsaken or forgotten until his physical strength no longer permitted him to attend the house of God.
He was twice married, the first wife being Mary Ann Moulder. His second wife was Mary Lindley, who with eight children, survive him.
He was not only a faithful church member, but was a kind and obliging neighbor. If one was in distress they always found him ready and willing to relieve their wants. One who was heart broken and sad was sure to find a sympathizing friend in him. If a neighbor was sick his work never prevented him from visiting and doing all in his power to alleviate their suffering. He once expressed himself to your correspondent as believing his mission was to visit the sick, and no man ever filled any mission more faithfully than did he his. One by one he saw those of his original company falling until he was spared for "some purpose," as he often expressed it. Often times as we looked upon him in his place in the church, his locks white with the frost of nearly four-score years, or listen to his feeble voice as he spoke a word of encouragement to some "trembling child," we felt it our duty to lisp a prayer to the All Wise God for sparing us the aged pilgrim and father.
The past winter he had been feeble and an attack of the grippe was more that his shattered frame could stand, and when the sun had sunk to rest on the evening of the 14th inst. [April 14, 1890], he passed calmly and quietly away and the boatman ferried him over the cold and icy stream of death, landing him on that shore where feebleness with age and aching of body are not known. The family have the sympathy of the entire community. Submitted byTom Agan.
