General Notes: Husband - Robert Parker McFarland

---

He lived all his life on the farm on which he was born, the old McFarland homestead, near Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. He was an intelligent farmer and leading citizen of the county, but never aspired to public office. His reading was extensive and he was especially well versed in the writings of Shakspeare. He was a frequent contributor to the county papers and was a forceful writer on questions of political reform. For half a century he was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Mercersburg.
