PROF. JONATHAN EVERETT FARNHAM; Georgetown, is the eldest son of Roger
Farnham, a native of Massachusetts, whose father settled in Connecticut
prior to the Revolutionary War, and was born Aug. 12, 1809; his father
died in 1817; but, leaving the family in comfortable circumstances, Prof.
Farnham was enabled to acquire a good education.  He first attended the
common schools, pursued his preparatory studies in the New Hampshire
Classical Institute, in New Hampshire, and then entered Colby University,
under the presidency of Dr. Chaplin.  In 1833, he graduated, with the
degree of A. B., and for two years was engaged as tutor in the institute.
He then studied law at Providence, R.I., for three years, and afterward
at Cincinnati.  In 1838, he was appointed Professor of Physical Science,
at Georgetown College, which chair he is now filling.  During this period
of time, he controlled the Georgetown Female Seminary, the property of
which he owned.  This was one of the most flourishing institutions of the
West, receiving, as it did, a very large patronage from the Southern and
Western States; in 1865, he disposed of his interest.  He is a member of
the Baptist Church, and contributed freely toward its support and
advancement.  In 1838, he was married to Miss E. Butler, daughter of Rev.
John BUtler, of Winthrop, Maine, and is the father of three children, all
of whom are still living an married.  He is a man of great force of
character, sociable in disposition, and agreeable in manners.  His success
as a teacher has been eminent.
