As a boy he moved with his family to Michigan, where he was educated at public schools and the Michigan State Normal School. He taught in 1889 and 1890 at Michigan state secondary schools and from 1890 to 1892 at Michigan State Normal School. In 1892 Farwell became a herbarium curator and drug inspector for Parke, Davis and Company[1] and retired there in 1933.[2] Rogers McVaugh, Stanley A. Cain, and Dale J.
