Many Strong Men Weep During Simple and Impressive Funeral Service
Judges and Lawyers Join in Eulogies and Family Watches at Crematorium
Fellow Jurists, men prominent In the city's official and commercial life and several hundred friends assembled yesterday afternoon in a chapel on Geary street to pay final tribute to the memory of Justice Thomas Bard McFarland.
As in his everyday life, where simplicity held sway over ostentation, the funeral ceremonies were plain and impressive, while strong men wept and pioneers who numbered the eminent jurist among their closest friends were greatly affected.

Van Fleet and John Hunt; Justices N. P. Chipman and J. A. Cooper; President David Starr Jordan, C. G. Lathrop. Ralph O. Harrison. Peter F. Dunne, Dr. J. W. Keeney, Dr. W. K. Clunees, G. M. Mott, F. M. Coxe and Judge A. F. Leib.
The floral offerings formed a solid bank of beauty, among them being a large wreath of pink roses resting upon an easel, which was offered by the dead justice's associates on the supreme bench. The subordinate officers of the court sent a broken column of bridesmaid roses.
While the mourners gathered, strains of sacred music came from the organ loft and as the casket was borne' into the chapel past the line of pall bearers a quartet sang "Lead, Kindly Light," a hymn long cherished by the dead jurist.
PASTOR PRONOUNCES EULOGY
The service was conducted by Rev. George C. Adams. He read from the ninetieth psalm, which was followed by the hymn, "Nearer, My, God, to Thee," by a quartet. A brief but appreclative eulogy was then delivered by Dr. Adams. At the close of the eulogy, "Good Night, I'm Going Home," another of the judge's favorite hymns, was sung and after a closing prayer the intimate friends and members of the family remained in the chapel for the private services.
