Farmer

The town of Farmer began about 1895 and lasted until 1961. There is very little information in the historical registers describing this once agricultural community. Farmer once consisted of a post office, general store, community hall, and a service station. The first Postmaster of Farmer was John Morgan. Today the community hall, a grain storage facility, the old cemetery and some buildings in ruins are all that remain of the town.
