USA
1913
Patricia was told George
came from Redcar, Yorkshire and moved to USA at the age of 17,
though it was probably a bit later.
Records suggest he arrived in USA on 26 May 1913
and was finally naturalised a US Citizen on 16 May 1934.
I received an email from Patricia
Frances Farndale-Boeck who is George William Farndale's granddaughter.
George W Farndale, 22 a
plumber, departed Liverpool on 17 May 1913 bound for New York. He travelled on
the Cunard Line ship The Carmania.
1915
His grand-daughter Patricia Boeck thought his
marriage was around 1915. He married Frances Hilton in USA, either in New York or Chicago.
Frances appears to have come from England too, though Patricia is not sure where
(Email from
Patricia Boeck on 5 May 2004).

Prophetstown
1918
Richard William Farndale (FAR00851C) was born
on 6 August 1918 in Prophetstown IL
Prophetstown is a city in
Whiteside County, Illinois, United States. On November 19th of 1812, the future
12th U.S. President, the then U.S. Army Brevet Major Zachary Taylor, visited
Prophetstown along the Rock River (Mississippi River) while on a military
expedition through there during the War of 1812. While there, his commanding
officer ordered the burning to the ground of a nearby Indian village belonging
to the Kickapoo First Nation who were then at war with the U.S. Prophetstown occupies the site of the village
of the Winnebago prophet, which the Illinois volunteers destroyed on May 10,
1832, in the first act of hostility in the Black Hawk War. Prophetstown was
named for Wabokieshiek (White Cloud), the prophet who
lived upon the land. Wabokieshiek served as an
advisor to Black Hawk and took part in the Black Hawk War. Wabokieshiek
and his followers, the Sauk Indians, resided where the current Prophetstown
State Park (of Illinois) is now located. They left the land in 1832 as the
Black Hawk War ended, when Wabokieshiek was taken
captive by the United States. This area is now a state park, but at one time it
held a community of 14 villages. It is believed that residents of Prophetstown
petitioned to move the U.S. government from Washington D.C. to Prophetstown in
the 1800s because of its supposed central location of the lower 48 states.
Prophetstown once held community events such as Cruise Night and showcased many
classic cars. Eventually that event faded and Eclipse
Park was replaced with a memorial to honour those who served in the Armed
Forces. Prophetstown is still held in high esteem for having one of the largest
Fourth of July fireworks shows in the area. Prophetstown also hosts a Lighted
Christmas Parade as the highlight of the start of the holiday season the
Saturday before Thanksgiving. Prophetstown is an Illinois Main Street
Community. The downtown features a series of historical murals and Eclipse
Square Park as well as an interesting selection of stores and dining
possibilities.
Frances appears to have died
in late November or early December 1918 from swine flu.
