and a grandson of John Farrier, a native of Ireland, who came to America
at an early day and settled in North Carolina. William Farrier was

They had a family of ten children--Martha, John, James, David, Hugh,
Mary, Sarah, Henry, Temperance, and Ann.
Henry Farrier was reared
a farmer, but early chose the profession of medicine as his life work,
and began reading in his leisure house when working on the farm. He
attended lectures at the University of New York, from which he graduated
in 1845. He first located in Pike County, Alabama, where he lived until
1870, when he moved to Texas and settled in Titus, now Morris County,
where he has built up a large practice. Dr. Farrier has been a hard
student and stands high in the medical profession. Not only on a
professional point of view has Dr. Farrier been successful, but also
financially, and he is gradually withdrawing from the general practice,
giving it up to younger men, although he is always ready to give them
the benefit of his longer experience, and is valued by them as a
counselor in difficult and dangerous cases. Dr. Farrier was married in
1851 to Sarah A., daughter of William C. Wannamaker, a native of
Georgia. They have had seven children--Ann W., Pastora, Claudia,
Alberta, Frederick W., Charles N. and Sallie. The sons are prominent
