Their law firm represented some of the most important industries in Southwest Virginia, including the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, Appalachian Power Company, and several coal and lumber interests. ","M. P. Farrier was a clerk for Giles County, Virginia as early as 1894. He qualified to practice law on February 1, 1904, and then formed a partnership with Judge Martin Williams (1858-1934), which lasted until January 1, 1920. Farrier represented Giles and Bland counties in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1922 through 1923. In March 1923, he became Commissioner of Accounts for Giles County. The Williams and Farrier law firm reformed from January 1, 1924 thru July 1, 1934, when Farrier was appointed Trial Justice of Giles County. During this time period, M. P. Farrier also served as Treasurer of Bland County Lumber Company and Vice-President and member of the Board of Directors of Buchanan Coal Land Corp. ","A. L. Farrier served during World War I. He studied law under his father and qualified to practice in December 1938. A. L. and M. P. Farrier joined in a legal partnership on January 1, 1939. The partnership lasted until M. P. Farrier's death in 1946, and A. L. continued to practice law until his death in 1972.","Both men are buried in Birchlawn Burial Park in Pearisburg, Virginia.","The guide to the Farrier Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The collection is in its original order from the time of donation. Several set of files were rehoused in new boxes in 2011. The finding aid is from existing inventories and research done at the time of donation in 1974. Some descriptive information was added in 2013 and 2014. In 2017-2018, efforts were made to clean up the inventory, which had previously identified the materials as \"Box #\" with a date. Boxes were given titles based on the general contents included and the existing dates. In 2021, additional description was completed, including expanded Biographical Note, added Separated Materials note, updated and new inventory scope notes and box titles, and series imposed based upon 1974 descriptions.","The collection includes files from the firm of Williams and Farrier, later Farrier and Farrier. Materials include copies of deeds, title searches, land transactions, estate matters, loan contracts, divorce suits, small claims collection suits, ledgers, and correspondence. Additional details of some files are included in the original inventories, available on request.","Two series of files from a wooden cabinet. The first set deals mainly with land and estate matters, mostly from the early 1940s. The second set concerns estates. Files are from the office of Pearisburg attorneys, M. P. and A. L. Farrier and of Martin Williams and M. P. Farrier.","Files are from the office of Pearisburg attorneys, M. P. and A. L.

P. Farrier trustee of the Preserve. See Federal Forest Service file concerning sale of the Preserve.","Various wills, presumably written by A. L. Farrier, for the following people: John H.

File contains mostly handwritten statements concerning debts and assets.","Substantial correspondence with Bancroft-Whitney Co. concerning the purchases of law books by M. P. and A. L. Farrier.","When the Bland County Lumber Co. went bankrupt some time after 1936, a commissioner was appointed to investigate the company's liabilities and assets. Material in this file consists mainly of M. P. Farrier's handwritten answers to a series of questions put to him by the commissioner. Farrier gives detailed information concerning land holdings and company debts. See related Bland Lumber Co. files (Bland County Lumber Co. v. Mrs. A. A.
