Notes - HeritageQuest
The biosketch below is taken from pages 178-9 of author
J. T. Wilder's book titled Portrait and Biographical Record of
Johnson and Pettis Counties, Missouri : containing portraits
and biographical sketches of prominent and representative
citizens of the counties : together with biographies and
portraits of all the presidents of the United States.
This book was published in Chicago by Chapman Pub. Co.
in 1895 and contains 653 pages.
Jasper McFARLAND has been numbered among the progressive
agriculturists of Johnson County for the past ten years and is the
owner of a well improved homestead on section 35, township 47,
range 27. He is one of the native sons of Missouri, his birth having
taken place in Ste. Genevieve County, January15, 1838.
Joseph and Mary E. McFARLAND, the parents of our subject, were
born in North Carolina, and were married in Missouri. The father
was but four years of age when, in 1812, he was brought by his
parents to this state, and from that time until his death he continued
to live within its boundaries. A man of genial and kindly nature, he
had many friends, and no one was ever turned away form his door
hungry. When he was summoned to his last reward, in 1861, his loss
was deeply felt by the entire community.
Jasper McFarland was the third in a family of six children, and he
and one sister Mrs. Mary Anderson, are the only survivors. He
received a fair education and on arriving at a man's estate looked
around for a companion and helpmate. His choice fell on Cordelia
S., daughter of Carroll and Sarah (McFarland) George, who were
pioneers of Cooper and Morgan counties. The marriage of the
young couple was celebrated March 12, 1864, and shortly after this
event they moved to Nebraska, where our subject was engaged in
freighting on the plains.
Returning to Missouri in 1867, Mr McFarland rented land in Cass
County, and then for a year leased a farm in this county. His next
venture was to invest in property in Bates County, and from that
time he seemed to prosper, as he was very ambitious and devoted
every spare hour to the end he had in view. Finding that there was
money in handling livestock, he bought and sold cattle in connection
with his other employment. After a residence of sixteen years in
Bates county, he purchased his present home of eighty acres, in
1885, and has the tract under good cultivation.
The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. McFarland has been blessed by two
children, Flora L. and Sarah E. The elder daughter, a very intelligent
and accomplished young lady, is engaged in teaching school, and the
younger is the wife of David Yancey, a well-to-do farmer of Lafayette
County MO.
In manner our subject is pleasant and courteous, readily making
friends of all with whom he comes in contact. He uses his franchise
in favor of Democratic nominees and principles, and religiously is
identified with the Southern Methodist denomination.
