Bemidji centenarian recalls a century of life and memory
Mrs. Annette Farnum, who turned 100 last Sunday, reflects on her Iowa birth in 1873 and a long Bemidji life. She recalls McKinley Garfield and a wandering photographer, details her Norwegian hardanger work, and credits a simple, clean life and stout attitude for longevity. She lives with daughter Roy Green at 724 10th St and remains mentally quick, active, and connected to family across several states.
