Obituary. 
R. S. McFarland, for 20 years super- 
intendent of Oak Hill Cemetery, Law- 
rence, Kan., died September 25 after a 
short illness. Mr. McFarland was born 
in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1834, where he was 
engaged in the real estate business with 
his father before moving to Lawrence. 
He came to that town in 1879 and was 
appointed sexton of Oak Hill in 1884. 
He has been continuously in the service 
of the cemetery since that time, and few 
men can show a more faithful 20 years’ 
service. Mr. McFarland was a charter 
member of the Association of American 
Cemetery Superintendents and attended 
its first meeting at Cincinnati in 1886. His 
active participation in the work of the 
association enabled him to bring about 
many reforms in the management of 
Oak Hill, and to leave it one of the most 
beautiful cemeteries in Kansas. He 
served with credit in the Civil War, and 
was a faithful member of the Congre- 
gational Church, the G. A. R. and the 
Odd Fellows. A widow and five chil- 
dren survive him. A. E. Tweed, who 
has worked with Mr. McFarland in the 
cemetery for many years, will succeed 
him as superintendent.
