Richard Spencer Farr was a very successful engineer and inventor of Farr company products in the air filtration field. He was also a successful salesman of Farr products and helped the company reach prominence in its field. He had a very strong personality needing to dominate situations which caused some friction between his brother, Spence and himself in the business. He had a hard time letting go of the running of the business when it became necessary to turn it over to another chief executive, Allan Foy. Dad felt he held up the progress of the company for about 8 years. Despite this limitation he was a very entertaining personality always ready with a funny story or joke. He was married three times his first two wives dying. He had five children-Linda, Susan, Richard, Carol and Julie. Richard is the only one active in the business. Although a baptized Mormon he was not active. After a memorial service in Los Angeles, dad held one in Holiday Park on Sunday, August 28, 1988 and his ashes were scattered on the first crossing of the fish lake trail where it intersects with dry creek.

A grist-mill was built near the confluence of the Lily Pond brook with the Catsbane, as early as 1767, and perhaps earlier. (See p. 39.) It was owned by Eleazer Cobleigh, Sen. Upwards of fifty years ago, the stones of which the dam of this mill was constructed were removed, and used in making the abutments of the bridge over the Catsbane, a short distance south-east of Ransom Farr's house.
The grist-mill now owned by Warren W.Farr, at the WestVillage, was originally a shop in which John Snow and Ora Farr manufactured, for a short time, scythes and hoes. It was afterwards used by Alpheius Snow for a blacksmith's shop. About fifty years ago it was converted into a grist-mill by Wm. R. Snow and 'Worcester Farr. the run of stones being taken from a mill that stood where the Butler saw-mill now stands, on the upper part of the Catsbane.
