He was eminently successful in his chosen profession and made medicine his life long study. The latter part of his very active life he served Texas as quarantine officer for 20 years or more.
He was a frequent visitor to his only brother, Andrew J. McFarland and sister Annie, in Copiah County, and his devotion to them was very touching and beautiful.
