From Porterville Recorder, front page, Friday July 19 1935:
"MRS. McFARLAND PASSES AWAY AT ADVANCED AGE
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth McFarland, one of the oldest and most respected residents of the Porterville district, died Thursday at the home of her daughter Mrs. Otis Brough, eight miles east of Porterville, at the age of 93. Mrs. McFarland had been in poor health for several months.
Funeral services will be held Saturday morning, at 9:30 at the Loyd-Freitzsche funeral parlors, with Rev. J. A. Mithgan officiating. Interment will be in the Porterville cemetery.
Mrs. McFarland was a native of Missouri and had lived in the Porterville district for 46 years. She was the widow of the late Robert West McFarland, formerly supervisor from this district, and the man after whom the McFarland precinct, east of Porterville, was name. She is survived by four children: Mrs. Brough, J.A.S. McFarland, C.A. McFarland and A.R. McFarland, all well-known residents of this part of Tulare county; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren."
Note: Sarah and her brother (John Henry) married brother and sister Robert West and Margaret Ann McFarland. The two families relocated to Porterville CA, and all four with several of their children are buried in Porterville.
