Martha E. Farrar (1841-1916) was born and died in Hanover, Massachusetts. She leased Mary Baker Eddy's home, 8 Broad Street in Lynn, Massachusetts, with her husband, Frank P. Farrar, from August 1883 until June 1885. The Farrars regularly missed rental payments and Eddy brought a suit against Frank P. Farrar on July 18, 1885, in Lynn Police Court, to collect rent for March, April, and May of 1885. Eddy was successful and court officers recovered the debt on her behalf.
