I looked everywhere I could think for a marriage, without success. Not knowing her maiden name, or former married name if such be the case, we're a little hamstrung.
I wonder if you all across the pond and down under can get into our Libary of Congress digitized newspapers. I found it a much better way of accessing the SF Chronicle and other American newspapers. Her name is all over the San Francisco "women's pages" in her capacities in various offices of the New Woman's Club. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/l...arRange&page=1 I also found newspaper coverage of the sudden death of a young woman at a dinner who was traveling alone. Mrs. D. K. Farr was one of those involved in mobilizing her women's club to attend a service for her, and I'm not sure but what she traveled to England to straighten out the dead woman's affairs. Does this tie in with her return trip on 28 November 1896 from Southampton to NYC? EDIT: I originally said this was an event in Australia. I was wrong. It's in 1896 in San Francisco. I had a lot more but it must be on another computer. I will try to look tomorrow. Right now not feeling very good, which is why I dropped out of sight. Sorry! Last edited by Janet; 02-10-20 at 15:18. Reason: The woman's sudden death was in San Francisco, not Australia! |

Here is the 1896 clipping.
San Francisco Chronicle San Francisco, California 10 Jun 1896, Wed • Page 16 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/6027...t-the-funeral/ "One of Miss Worrall's fellow passengers, Mrs. Earnest Williams, and Mrs. D. K. Farr of the Daughters of St. George will start for England within a few days, and they will take to the relatives of the young woman there the cards that came with the floral offerings." |

In 1894 he is still in Sydney, and practicing.

In 1914 she is still making her mark in San Francisco. See paragraph following the subhead "Women to Give Blankets."

Mrs. D. K. Farr is among the Californians in NYC hotels on 30 November 1896, as reported in the SF Call the next day.

Ah, here we are. I knew I had seen him somewhere. This is the SF Call of 14 February 1906, barely more than two months before the massive earthquake. See second-last column, under the headline "Wants More Rat Poison Spread."

Janet.....you are brilliant. You’ll never believe this, or maybe you will.
As you know, D K Farr is from Lawrie’s Ariel side, and Archie Bell, who he was representing in that Australian article is one of mine......lol.
