'Stella' (Mitchell) Farnsworth/MO

[101heath]

Does anyone recognize this FARNSWORTH who married a Stella Mitchell  
b.ca. 1862 in St Louis or Springfield, Missouri? After marrying a  
__Farnsworth, she apparently didn't stay in MO as the obit says 'she  
arrived in time to attend the funeral' as if she came from a  
distance. Any info appreciated. She could have been an Estella and  
'Stella' could be a nickname?
