W. R. FARRAND, DETROIT, DIES.
.William R. Farrand, descendant of an old Detroit
family and member of the Michigan Legislature, died
in Harper Hospital, Detroit, in August. He was near-
in 77, having been born on September 9, 1853, on the
site of the present J. L. Hudson Co.'s store. At the
age of 17, he became collector for his father's drug
linn, Farrand, Sheley & Co., and later rose to the
position of traveling salesman. In 1893 Mr. Farrand,
then 30 years old, bought out the Whitney Organ Co.
and reorganized it as the Farrand & Votcy Organ Co.
Later, upon the retirement from the firm of Mr. Votey,
he assumed full control of the company, which then
became the Farrand Organ Co. Among the line in-
struments it made was that designed for the World's
Fair at Chicago, which is now installed in the Hill
Auditorium at Ann Arbor. The manufacture of the
Cecilian player-piano was carried on for several years
by Mr. Farrand and his partner, L. M. Ide, but the
Cecilian later became the property of the Bush &
Lane Piano Co., of Holland, Mich., by purchase. Soon
thereafter Mr. Farrand closed out his musical instru-
ment business. He decided, however, that 60 was too
green an age for retirement, so he entered the real
estate and insurance business, in which he continued
up to the time of his demise. In political life Mr.
Farrand served three terms as a member of the public
lighting commission (an appointee of Mayor Hazen
S. Pingree) and two- terms on the board of estimates
—one of them as chairman. He had served three
terms in the Legislature of Michigan and was one of
the trustees of Harper Hospital since 1891.
The death of James 1'. \V. Beckwith on Tuesday.
August 26, as a result of pneumonia with heart com-
plications, has caused the deepest regret at Jacob
Bros. Piano Co. and alsc wherever he was known.
