General Notes: Husband - Frank McFarlane

---

At Buffalo Run, Centre County, Pennsylvania, he was born, and in the common schools of Centre Furnace began his literary education. After taking a preparatory course in Boalsburg Academy, he entered the agricultural department of State College, but at the end of two years was obliged to give up study on account of his eyesight, which had been affected by an attack of typhoid fever. He then became overseer of the estate near Boalsburg, and with him resided his sister Janet.
He was a prominent and active member of the Christian Endeavor Society, and an ardent Republican in politics, advocating the gold standard.

He had two relics which he valued very highly-one, a gold-mounted sword presented to his uncle Robert by the men of the 148th P. V. I., of which regiment he was colonel; the other relic is a cane of straight-grained hickory, whittled from an octagonal piece of wood by his great-great-uncle, William McFarlane, a captain in the Continental army during the Revolutionary war. This was done while he was in prison in New York City, held as a British captive. The cane is forty-eight inches long, and bears the inscription: "Capt. William McFarlane, prisoner one year, ten months and five days, New York, September 21, 1776."
