Ann Casey, 21, of Clyde Township, married Richard O. Farrell, 23, of Clyde Township, 9 June 1853 in St Clair, Michigan, USA. The record also indicates Patrick Casey & Margaret Casey, both of Plympton, Canada West. ^{[2] [3]}

[Note: It's likely Patrick and Margaret Casey were the witnesses. Anne's parents were John and Ann.]

In 1900, Anna Farrell, age 68, was living in Cross Plains, Dane, Wisconsin, with her husband, Richard, age 70, and their children: Michael, age 29, TJ Murphy (daughter), age 27; and their grandchildren: Olive, age 5, Oswald, age 4, Iner An. Murphy, age 2. Richard and Anna were born in Ireland. Michael was born in Missouri, USA. The rest of the children were born in Wisconsin. Richard and Anna immigrated in 1841. Anna was the mother of 10 children. ^[4]

On 6 Dec 1901, at her home at Mt. Horeb, Mrs. Ann Farrell, wife of Richard Farrell, died, aged 70. She came to Wisconsin from Canada forty years ago, and lived 30 years at Pine Bluff, and since last Spring at Mt Horeb. She leaves seven children, Timothy Farrell, of Kimball, S.D., John M. Farrell, Michael Farrell, Mrs. A. Rupert, of Pine Bluff, Mrs. John Brown, of Riley, James Farrell, of Chicago, and Mrs. Agnes Murphy, of Mt. Horeb. The funeral was on 9 Dec 1901, and the largest at Pine Bluff in many years. She was a good wife, a good mother, an exemplary Christian, and all her friends, far and near now can do is is not to forget her in prayer.^[5]
