P. O'FARRELL was
born at Sandusky City, Erie county, Ohio, May 24, 1856. In
the spring of 1860 he moved with his parents, and settled in
Scott township. Sandusky county, Ohio. Here young
O'Farrell worked on the farm of his father, attending a
district school in the winters until the spring of 1871, when he
went to the Northwestern Normal School, then located at
Republic, Seneca county, Ohio, to prepare himself for teaching.
The ensuing winter he taught his first school for a term of four
months in Montgomery township, Wood county, Ohio. At this
time Mr. O'Farrell was not sixteen years old, yet lie
taught with good success, which indicates an aptness to acquire
learning which is quite unusual. He continued to teach in
the winter,, and attend school in the summer until he commenced
the study of the law, which was in the summer of 1876. He,
however, taught the Hessville graded schools when studying and
there closed his career as a school teacher in April, 1880.
In June, 1880, Mr. O'Farrell passed examination
under the new rules of the supreme court at Columbus, Ohio, and
was there admitted to practice. He was elected a justice
of the peace for Sandusky township in the spring of 1879, but
resigned the office on the 16th of August, 1881. He was
appointed a member of the board of county school examiners on
the 3d day of July 1881, which office he still creditably fills.
On the 24th day of May, 1881, Mr. O'Farrell
married Miss Catharine O'Connor, daughter of Bryan
O'Connor, who is now one of our most popular county
commissioners.
Mr. O'Farrell has fine, natural gifts of
perception, memory and language, which, if properly used, will
make him a good advocate and lawyer.
