He was appointed Assistant Surgeon of the Third New Hampshire Regiment, Ang. 13, 1862, and arrived at the regiment about the middle of September, 1862. His jjosition at this time was an anomalous one, as in his appointment a vacancy was anticipated in the medical staff and soon after occurred. He began his duties at once and performed them well. In the spring of 1868, the regiment was scattered, two companies being at Hilton Head, S. C, seven companies were at Pickney Island and one company at Pope's.

Dr. Farrar remained \vith the two companies at Hilton Head, on April 15, 1863, after the regiment had gone to Edisto Island, Dr. Farrar was ordered to special duty, taking charge of the sick at the outposts of Hilton Head (Seabrook, Fort Mitchel, Pope's, Jenkin's Island and Spanish Wells), with headquarters at Pope's. He had scarcely entered upon these duties when he was relieved by an order relieving everybody in the brigade of which the Third New Hampshire was a part.

He rejoined the regiment at Edisto River, and not being in good health very soon after sent in his resignation, Which was not accepted. He repeated the act at once and was honorabh discharged, on surgeon's certificate of disability, at Botany Bay Island, on May 4, 1863. Upon his return home he commenced practice here. Not being Physically strong he could not endure the rides over this hilly country, and he gave up his practice sometime in 1865, and afterwards removed to Leominster, Mass., where he continued in practice till his death, June 3, 1875.

Bartenders and Slaoons, Indiana.

Here is a list of about 83 Bartenders  and 71 Saloons, there is no information on the names.  This list is to help find a ancestor and learn where he or she was  at this time in history.  The City Evansville, Indiana, the year 1888.

A note about the Saloons of Evansville and there were many and I bet you get a picture of what they may look like but you would be wrong. The saloon as we know them wasn't the only saloons in town.  There were saloons in Boarding Houses, Billiard Rooms or Halls and Groceries Stores. One could get a bottle of beer or a glass of wine about any place in town.

The saloon list which there are three, were copied from the City Directory and you may not be able to enlarge them enough to read. In this case you may copy them so you can enlarge  them your self.  No need to ask its ok.  In fact all the information an pictures at this web site are free to any one to copy.
