Ivan A. Farnworth interview
Scope and Contents
Transcript of an interview conducted by Stan Burnett on 31 Jan. 1985 for the Ray Hillam war project. Farnworth was inducted into the military at Camp Fremont, California. He contracted influenza in 1918. He served as a guard in France, and went to Camp Lincoln after the war to guard Afro-Americans. Farnworth was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He had five cousins that also served in the war, and two of them died. He said that he and his brother received patriarchal blessings that promised them they would live, and both survived. He learned to love the men he fought with, but he hated war. He said that people should learn to live with each other. He didn't kill anyone, and he loved the Germans because they are good people.
