Julius H MCFARLAND (1865 - aft 1930)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised Oct 2018)
In 1870, Julius H McFarland, age four, is first noted living with hi
s parents Alex and Margaret McFarland and three siblings in Hickory, L awrence co, Pennsylvania. His father is a teamster, which Julius late r also becomes. In 1880 Julius and his younger brother Clarence are li ving with their parents Alex and Ma
rgaret in West Lackawannock, Merce r co, Pennsylvania. His father and two boarders are working in a sawmi ll there.
For the next thirty years, I found no trace of Julius. The thread is a gain picked up in 1910 when a Lewis McFarland is enumerated in the U S census in Poland, Mahoning co, Ohio where his father Alexander had l ived when a young man in 1850. Juliu s has located in Lowellville, a vi llage in Poland township, where he has shortened his name to Lewis (fr om Julius) and is living as a single man of 44 in his small home. Her e he is working as a teamster for a sawmill, something he had grow n u p learning when his father was a teamster in 1870.
I believe this same man re-located in 1920 Big Beaver, Pennsylvania a s J.H. McFarlan age 54 living only with his wife named Alice age 57. H e is working on his own account as a laborer on a farm. In 1930 Lewi s McFarland age 65 and wife Alice ag e 68 are still living in Big Beave r where he is now working as a laborer for the RR company. Here he own s a modest home and they are living alone together.
So, it appears that Julius H. McFarland modified his name to Lewis an d had no children. He and wife Alice seem to have no further records , as to census or cemeteries.
