Biography

"On September 11, 1878 Gram (Annie Edmands) was born. Within a year or two Farwell became ill. Before Gram was six, her father died. Gram remembers nothing about him. It must have been some lingering disease like TB or cancer. Gram remembers living in the big house at Woodfords with five uncles.... Mr. Spring, one of Marcia’s old beaus came and carried them both off to live in Portland (Maine).... Unfortunately he was not a good businessman and lost a considerable amount of the family fortune and two or three years after marrying, he died, leaving Gram and her mother without much money.... Gram’s mother’s illness turned out to be cancer and in 1901 she died in Newton at the age of 52.... As you will learn in the next chapter, Gram had already met Gramp at Bowdoin and Gramp had begun to call on her at Newton before her mother died. You can imagine how glad Gram was to get back to Newton in January 1902." ^[1]
