General Notes: Husband - Rev. Samuel G. McFarland

---

He was a missionary in Siam, and later filled a position in the Educational Department of the Court of Siam.

He was graduated at Washington College in the class of 1857, and ordained minister by the Presbytery of Washington in 1860. In 1860, after a farewell meeting held in Raccoon Church, he sailed, June 5, for the mission in Petchaburi, Siam, eighty miles from Bangkok. There he organized two churches. In 1879, at the invitation of the king, he took charge of a school for Siamese boys of the higher classes, and became superintendent of education for the Siamese government. Four years from 1891, he was connected with bureau of compilation, preparing books for the schools in the Siamese language. He translated four books of the Pentatuch, a large portion of the minor prophets, the Westminster Confession of Faith, treatise on the Christian Evidence, and a synopsis of church history, a book of sermons, and a large number of scientific books, including geology, botany, bookkeeping and a Siamese dictionary.
