John Farrell, of Irish descent, settled <br />and farmed more than 500 acres. A friend once asked him why he brought such <br />a hilly farm, to which John replied, "Because it reminds me of Ireland." <br /> <br />An interesting side note is from Mary (May) Marston, granddaughter of John <br />Farrell, who grew up on the farm in the 1890s. Ms. Marston stated that, "Across <br />from the farm was a hill with Indian grave platforms and artifacts." <br /> <br />Nazareth Hall on the Northwestern College Campus <br /> <br />Nazareth Hall was constructed in 1921-22 on the Northwestern College campus. <br />It was constructed in the "Lombardic Romanesque" style from northern Italy.
