He was enumerated in the 1890 US Federal census, Veteran's Schedule in Jun 1890 at 231 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, as having served in the 15th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Company D.

He was buried in 1891 at Rural Cemetery, Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, near his parents.

From the "Worcester Daily Spy", 13 Aug 1896: "Comrade J. Brainerd Hall feels that he has accomplished a great thing in securing for the late Comrade George W. Farr's grave a government headstone. The headstone arrived here a few days ago and was placed in position at Rural cemetery Wednesday."

After his death Mary A. Farr, his widow, received a pension in New York based on George's service.

BIRTH: Death certificate says that he was born in Massachusetts and all of the Census records say that he was born in New Hampshire including Find A Grave.

DEATH: Death records of New York, including the death certificate, say that he died 27 Jun 1891 and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery. There is no record of George Farr being buried in Greenwood Cemetery. Find A Grave says that he died 1 Oct 1891(which is the date his wife applied for pension benefits) in New York and was buried in Worcester Rural Cemetery near his parents. Conflict of dates but still solid with other records. He is the same George W. Farr son of William T. Farr and husband of Mary A. McDonald Farr.

Mary had a will 6 on 15 Jan 1894 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States. Her will was probated 7, 8 on 20 Mar 1895 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States.

Mentiioned in her husband's probate. Mary was living in Brooklyn at the time. Mary also applied for her husband's pension on 1 Oct 1891 in New York.

In Mary's probate records, her brothers John A. and James H. McDonald are mentioned and her sister Emily Aexander is the Executrix.

BURIAL: Lot 29146 Section 199 Grave 1.
Find A Grave seems to have incorrect day and month. I used the birth certificate dates and they work with the will and probate dates.
