Mrs. McFarland came to Ada several years ago when Mr. McFarland bought the Harris hotel. She at once entered into the life of the community and has been prominent in movements for the betterment of the city since that time. She was a member of the Episcopal church.
The immediate family consists of the husband and one daughter, Mrs. Ed Gillette, both of whom were at the bedside when death came.
The deceased has been troubled for some time, the trouble increasing the last ten days. An operation was felt necessary to save her live, but the body proved too weak to withstand the schock and recover, and the end came peacefully this morning. Death had been expected but, even at that, proved a severe how to those who heid her dear.
At first there was some thought of carrying the body back to McAlester, where the McFarlands made their home for a number of years, but it was decided that it should rest in the community where her closest friends remain, and the body will be laid away tomorrow afternoon on the hill north of the city.
The following will act as pall bearers: Charles A. Zorn, C. V. Gowing, F. L. Finley, John P. McKinley, Dr. A Linscheid, C. H. Rivers.
