Farr, Charles Cobbold, 1851-1914 : Charles Cobbold Farr, born in Suffolk, England, immigrated to Canada in 1871. He began to work for the Hudson's Bay Company in the Lake Temiskaming area around 1873. From 1883 to 1889 he was factor of the "Old Fort" on Lake Temiskaming. He then left the company and founded the town of Haileybury. He was an active promoter of emigration from England. Haileybury developed rapidly after construction of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway in 1903 and Farr established the Haileyburian and Temiscaming Mining Journal in the following year. In 1906 he became the first mayor of Temiskaming.
