Marin Pioneer Dies In Petaluma
Robert Farley, Rancher, Answers Calls After Long and Successful Life
One of Marin county’s pioneers passed into the beyond with the death last Sunday of Robert K. Farley at a Petaluma hospital, where he had been for about a week for treatment.
For many years Mr. Farley had resided near Nicasio with his nephews, Jefferson and Rudolph Thompson, on the ranch which he had himself conducted earlier in life.
The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Farley and was at the time of his death 65 years of age. He crossed the plains with his parents when about six months of age. He was preceded in death by his wife 14 years ago, and his brother, Tillman Farley, died in San Rafael a few months since. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Rebecca Jones and Mrs. Catherine Brown of Petaluma, and a brother, J. N. Farley, of Humboldt county. Two sons, Melvin and Leland Farley, reside in San Francisco, and his only daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Tennyson, lives in Pt. Reyes.
The deceased had made a success of his life, having been a prosperous rancher, respected by his friends and neighbors and loved by his relatives.
