Article sent to me by Gary Herrington August 2002
No idea where it originated. (vlww)Bradford "Grandpa" House, whose ancestors came from England and Scotland, was born in New York State August 8, 1827. November 16, 1851 he was married to Sarah McGinnis in Joe Davis Co., Illinois. She was the daughter of Francis and Jane McGinnis and was born October 10, 1834, their descendants (sic) [might mean ancestors] were from Ireland. They lived their early married life in Illinois where all of their children were born. "Grandpa" House preceded his family to Custer County, Nebraska to homestead, but he soon returned to Adrain Co., Missouri, where the family had lived for some time, to bring his family to Nebraska in 1886. When they first moved into Ansley they lived directly north of the Christian Church. They later purchased an acreage in north Ansley. The house still stands at the end of the street which leads north from the Lumber Yard. In their declining years they moved to the farm home of their daughter, Della McGowan and family. A comfortable two room house was built for them in the yard next to the McGowan home, which was two miles north of Ansley. They resided there until their deaths. Grandma died January 19, 1915 and Grandpa March 26, 1916. Both were buried in the Ansley Cemetery. They were the parents of the following children.
LAURA (1852-1930) married Mike Farrell in the early 1870's. She died at her home near Westerville and was buried in the Liberty Cemetery northeast of Ansley. They were the parents of: [1] Mae (Mrs. Edgar Graham) they lived in Ansley Community where their four children, Irma, Norman, Irene and Mildred were born. Later they moved to a farm a few miles northeast of Broken Bow. [2] Bert F. (1875-1957) married Nellie Potts in 1900. They had a daughter, Clatilla, Mrs. Paul Siegel, who resides in Central City, Nebraska. Bert worked many years for the Brown Fruit Co. Both Bert and Nellie are buried at Central City, Nebraska. [3] Sadie (1877-1962) married Bert Marsh of Westerville Community. They were blessed with three children: Cecil (who is deceased, Floreine (Mrs. John Campbell) and Irma (Mrs. Charles Bensen) who both live in Laramie, Wyoming. [4] Ervin "Ervie" (1880-1965) married Lizzie Mytton of rural Ansley. A son, Leo, was born to them. [5] Nellie (1884-1920's?) (sic) [should be 1884-1961] married Alfred Jones in 1904. Their children were Melvin (who died in infancy), Ruby (Mrs. David Anderson), Merle (deceased in 1963), Faye (Mrs. Charles Boyd) and Laura Eleanor (sic) [should be Elenor] (Mrs. Loren Williams. [6] Levert Farrell 1885, who makes his home in an Army Home in South Dakota. [7] Laura "Totie" (1889-1918) married Lee Woodruff. They lived in Lee Park near the Knight School. Their children were: Eugene, Helen, Byrl, Emma Mae, Esther and Leona. ................"
Pesters were neighbors of the Farrells in Custer Co., Nebraska near Ansley. "LEJWH - March 2000"
MY NOTES: Place of birth for Michael Farrell ----
1920 Census - his sons (Irvin & Levert) & wife (he has passed away in 1901) state he was born in Ireland. 1910 Census - Michael is still living - states he was born in Illinois & his parents in Ireland. The 1850 and 1860 Census of Jo Daviess County, Illinois show his parents (Andrew & Mary Farrell) having been born in Ireland. They immigrated from Ireland to Canada - two children were born in Canada. They then immigrated to the United States - their last three children were born in Illinois. Further research needed here. Where in Canada were they living - exactly when did they immigrate and on what ship???? Did any other family come with them to US of A???? vlwwCensus 1: 1850 US Census of Elizabeth Precinct, Jo Daviess County, Illinois, 11 November 1850, Page 193/385, Lines 22-28, Dwelling 1478, Family 1482: Andrew Farrell, 40 years, Male, Farmer, Born Ireland, Cannot read and write; MARY, 42 years, Female, Born Ireland, Cannot read & write; JOANNA, 14 years, Female, Born Canada, Attended School; JAMES, 11 years, Male, Born Canada, Attended School; WILLIAM, 8 years, Male, Born Illinois, Attended School; ANDREW, 7 years, Male, Born Illinois, Attended School; MICHAEL, 2 years, Male, Born Illinois.

Farrel, Michael
"THE FARRELL FAMILY
by Floreine [Marsh] Campbell
I have been asked to write a story about the family of my maternal grandparents. My mother has been gone almost 15 years, so I will have to rely on memories of stories she told me.
Her parents, Michael and Laura House Farrell, were married in Illinois sometime in the early 1870's. Their two eldest children, Mae and Bert, were born there.
The family moved to Iowa, where my mother, Sarah, and a son, Ervin, were born.
From Iowa, the Farrells turned south and settled in Missouri, where another child, Nellie, joined the family. When Nellie was three weeks old, they began the trek by wagon train to Nebraska. Grandmother's parents, Bradford and Sarah House, and their other two daughters and two sons were also on this journey.
The Michael Farrells settled on a homestead a few miles east and south of Westerville in the Clear Creek Community. They made very few trips to Ansley or Broken Bow, as Westerville was the local trading post.
They built and lived in a sod house for many years. The two youngest children, Levert and I.aura, were born here. My mother was about eight years old at the time they settled here, so she spent almost all of her school days in a sod schoolhouse. I believe it was called the Kimball School.
Grandfather Farrell died about 1900. His grave is one of the first ones in the Liberty Cemetery. The three older children were grown and gone from home at the time of his death. Mae was married to Edgar Graham, and Sarah, my mother, was now Mrs. Herbert Marsh.
Grandma was a very resourceful pioneer woman, and she stayed on the homestead and finished raising the four younger children. She and her son, Ervie, farmed together for many years.
Later Ervie married Elizabeth Mytton, Nellie married Alfred Jones and Laura became Mrs. Lee Woodworth.
Grandma Farrell was a charter member of the Christian Church at Liberty, helping to organize the church and Sunday School. She served the Church as Sunday School Superintendent for almost 30 years.
It was a great joy and pleasure to visit her. When she died in 1930, her children and grandchildren realized that they had lost a loving and helpful friend.
She is buried beside her husband just a few miles from the old homestead, where they had come to make a family home in the New Land.
Levert, the youngest son, and the only one of the immediate family still living, resides at a Veteran's Rest Home at Rushville, Nebraska."

No idea where it originated. (vlww)
Bradford "Grandpa" House, whose ancestors came from England and Scotland, was born in New York State August 8, 1827. November 16, 1851 he was married to Sarah McGinnis in Joe Davis Co., Illinois. She was the daughter of Francis and Jane McGinnis and was born October 10, 1834, their descendants (sic) [might mean ancestors] were from Ireland. They lived their early married life in Illinois where all of their children were born. "Grandpa" House preceded his family to Custer County, Nebraska to homestead, but he soon returned to Adrain Co., Missouri, where the family had lived for some time, to bring his family to Nebraska in 1886. When they first moved into Ansley they lived directly north of the Christian Church. They later purchased an acreage in north Ansley…The house still stands at the end of the street which leads north from the Lumber Yard. In their declining years they moved to the farm home of their daughter, Della McGowan and family. A comfortable two room house was built for them in the yard next to the McGowan home, which was two miles north of Ansley. They resided there until their deaths. Grandma died January 19, 1915 and Grandpa March 26, 1916. Both were buried in the Ansley Cemetery. They were the parents of the following children.
