This memorial is of my grandfather. His parents were Joel Thomas Farrell and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Zuspann.
Bud Farrell was a veteran of World War I, having served in the US Army as a private. He entered service in 1917 in Cooke County, Texas and was listed as "Will O. Ferrell." He was honorably discharged and went back to farming.
He married Mary Alice Simmons first and they had 5 children. He married Bessie Onita Eckles second and they had 6 children.
He later moved to Orangefield, Orange County, Texas to work in the oil field. He built a two-room house and lived in it until his death in 1959. The house used an outhouse and the living room and kitchen were combined, with the bedroom also serving as a place to wash up. Just the essentials was all he wanted.
His second wife is buried in Orangefield in Mose Granger Cemetery, a cemetery that was inundated by deep mud at times from the pumpjacks located nearby.
