Farrar, Jr. Collection 1 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Bernard Gaines Farrar, Jr. was born August 5, 1831, in St. Louis, Missouri. His father, Bernard Gaines Farrar, Sr., was the first medical (surgeon) doctor of American descent to set up permanent residence west of the Mississippi. His mother, Ann O’Fallon Clark Thruston, was the niece of William Clark of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition. Farrar, Jr. attended St. Louis University, Norwich Military Academy of Vermont and the University of Virginia. After he completed his studies, he returned to St. Louis where he concentrated on real estate and other similar business ventures. On June 14, 1852, he married Isabel Jerdone Mitchell; they had four children: Alexander Mitchell Farrar, Frank Jerdone Farrar, Ann Clark Thruston Farrar and Bertie Cecil Farrar. Mustered into the military service at the old arsenal at St. Louis, he was almost immediately appointed aid-de-camp on the staff of General Nathanial Lyon. After the battle of Wilson’s Creek and the death of General Lyon on August 10, 1861, he was appointed as Provost-Marshal- General for the Department of the Missouri by Major-General Halleck, where he served until October of 1862. In that same year he recruited and organized the Thirteenth Regiment of Missouri Volunteer Infantry, which became part of Frank P. Blair’s Brigade. Farrar served under General Grant in the Mississippi Campaign and was in command of Blair’s Brigade at the siege of Vicksburg. After that he commanded the District of Natchez, and was brevetted Brigadier- General March 9, 1865. In May of 1865 Farrar resigned his commission in the army and began his civilian life in St. Louis, becoming one of the leading citizens of the city. President Harrison appointed him Assistant Treasurer of the United States, an appointment he held four years. On February 23, 1889, Farrar was elected a Companion of the Missouri Commandery of Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) with insignia #6855. He served as Senior Vice Commander (1909-1910) and Commander (1910-1911). Bernard Gaines Farrar, Jr. died June 6, 1916, two months and two days after the death of his wife Isabel. Sources: 1.

Farrar, Jr. Collection 2 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION SCOPE AND CONTENT The Bernard G. Farrar, Jr. Collection was purchased from Charles Agvent Rare Books & Autographs in 2005. The collection consists of eight letters, all written during the Civil War by Bernard Gaines Farrar, Jr., and addressed to his wife Isabel. Most of the letters were written or appear to have been written during 1864, although they are not all dated completely. One letter in particular, dated July 1 (no year given), could possibly have been written in 1863 during the Siege of Vicksburg. The letters are primarily of a personal nature as Farrar speaks of his living conditions and travels, his remembrances of home, and the desire to be reunited with his wife “Belle” and his family. The majority of the correspondence has been transcribed as best as possible. In addition to transcriptions of the letters, further items have been added to the collection to assist the researcher with background on the Farrar family. Included are chronological excerpts from the War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, which entails reports involving Farrar; a profile of the Farrar Family; and a photograph of Bernard G. Farrar, Jr., circa 1880s, acquired from the Missouri State Historical Society. MS35-Bernard G. Farrar, Jr. Collection 3 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J.

  • Thomas Stuart Homestead Site: Historic Context Report
    Thomas Stuart Homestead Historic Context Report Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site Avana Andrade Public Lands History Center at Colorado State University 2/1/2012 1 Thomas Stuart Homestead Site: Historic Context Report Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Deer Lodge Montana is currently developing plans for a new contact station. One potential location will affect the site of a late-nineteenth-century historic homestead. Accordingly, the National Park Service and the Montana State Historic Preservation Office need more information about the historic importance of the Thomas Stuart homestead site to determine future decisions concerning the contact station. The following report provides the historic contexts within which to assess the resource’s historic significance according to National Register of Historic Places guidelines. The report examines the site’s association with Thomas Stuart, a Deer Lodge pioneer, and the Menards, a French- Canadian family, and presents the wider historical context of the fur trade, Deer Lodge’s mixed cultural milieu, and the community’s transformation into a settled, agrarian town. Though only indications of foundations and other site features remain at the homestead, the report seeks to give the most complete picture of the site’s history. Site Significance and Integrity The Thomas Stuart homestead site is evaluated according to the National Register of Historic Places, a program designed in the 1960s to provide a comprehensive listing of the United States’ significant historic properties. Listing on the National Register officially verifies a site’s importance and requires park administrators or land managers to consider the significance of the property when planning federally funded projects.

  • Criteria for Inclusion in NGA's Governors' Biographical Database
    Criteria for Inclusion in NGA’s Governors’ Biographical Database 1. For the original thirteen states and commonwealths, all those who served as governor or acting governor from the date the Declaration of Independence was adopted, including military governors serving during the Civil War. 2. For the other thirty-seven states, governors and acting governors who served from the date statehood was granted, including military governors serving during the Civil War. 3. For current territories and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, all elected governors. In some cases, states were carved from more than one territory, while in other instances a single territory may have been divided into more than one state. Therefore, territorial governors have not been included in what is a state-by-state biographical database. Historical Information on Territorial Governors and Acting Governors The following page provides a list of the governors and acting governors of former territories which later became U.S. states.
