General Notes: Husband - James Frank McFarlane

---

He was mainly educated in the local schools, in addition to having a course at the Williamsport Commercial College, after which he followed lumbering with his father, and after the latter's death continued in the same line up to 1909; after which he still owned a saw-mill. He conducted a store from 1905 until January 1, 1911. For nearly six years he was agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and served at least two terms as justice of the peace, having been first elected in 1905. He was a Republican in politics, and beginning in July, 1905, was postmaster.
He and his family belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church, Mr. McFarlane being a trustee of the same. He was identified with Coalport Lodge No. 576, F. & A. M., and with Mt. Pleasant Grange of Utahville.
