JOHN W. FARSCHON


For a third of a century John W. Farschon has been a resident of Ripon and for the past twenty-eight years has conducted a blacksmith shop in this thriving town. In all his relations with his fellowmen he has been so straightforward and reliable that he commands in high degree their respect and confidence. He was born in Chicago, Ill., July 29, 1870, the youngest son of Sebastian and Catherine (Chambers) Farschon, natives of France and Ireland, respectively. Sebastian Farschon was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France, and in young manhood served in the French army until 1860, when he came to America and settled in Illinois. He married Miss Catherine Chambers, a native of County Mayo, Ireland, who had preceded her future husband to America, but who had at first settled in Canada, later removing to Illinois. They were the parents of five children and in 1877 the family removed to Kendall County, Texas. After a residence of ten years in Texas the father passed away and the mother brought her family to California, locating at Selma, and there John W., our subject, worked at the blacksmith's trade, which he had learned while living in Texas. In 1889 the family located in Ripon where the mother now resides, and where has been the family home for thirty-three years.

John W. Farschon first located in Westley and bought a half interest in a business there, but remained only a short time when he returned to Ripon and opened a blacksmith shop which he conducted for twenty-eight years. Through the years Mr. Farschon has been an eyewitness to the wonderful development of the Ripon section of San Joaquin County and has taken no small part in its advancement. He has supported men and measures that, in his best judgment, would be most beneficial to the community's welfare. He has served as a school trustee and is a stanch friend of the best educational facilities and in politics is a Republican.

The marriage of Mr. Farschon occurred at Ripon and united him with Miss Blanche Irene Nutt, and they are the parents of two children: Alice F., who is now Mrs. Percy Buchanan, resides in Folsom, Sacramento County, and they have three sons: Stanley, Robert, and William. Orville Farschon, a machinist, also lives at Folsom.

John married Blanche Irene Nutt on 3 Nov 1891 in California, USA, and was divorced. Blanche was born on 31 Mar 1872 in Iowa, USA; died on 8 Feb 1960 in California, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
