General Notes: Husband - Robert McFarland

---

He left home at the age of seventeen, and went to learn the harness business, at which he served a full apprenticeship, and then spent eighteen months in a jouring tour through the Eastern States and Canada, reaching Sharon in February, 1838. The follow­ing month he went to Pittsburgh in a one-horse sleigh, purchased a small stock of leather and hardware, and, returning to Sharon, opened a harness shop on the north side of State Street, west of the river. He began business on a capital of $18, but by steady industry and rigid economy he accumulated through the passing years a handsome estate. He was a life­long Democrat, filled the office of burgess four years, and was a member of the council and school board several terms. He was one of the charter members of Sharon Lodge No. 347, I. O. O. F., and was also a member of the Masonic fraternity. [HMC 1888, 741]
