Excerpts from her obituray:
Mrs. N. C. McFarland, wife of Judge N. C. McFarland, died at her rooms in the Copeland hotel this morning at 4:30 o'clock at the age of 70 years and 3 months.
Mrs. McFarland was formerly Miss Annie Anthomy of Springfield, Ohio, daughter of General Anthony, a prominent Ohian and early settler of Springfield in that state.
Mrs. McFarland was prominent to Topeka social circles and philanthropical and charitable work. She was also popular in society circles at Washington, D.C., her husband having been U. S. land commissioner under President Arthur's administration. Mrs. McFarland came to Topeka with her husband in February 1870. She was stricken with paralysis April 26 and gradually grew weaker until the end came this morning as quietly as the first streak of light announced the day.
She was one of the founders of the city library as well as of Ingleside. Her whole life was a history of unselfishness and its rule was devotion to others.
In more than one heart the world will seem darker for the news of her death.
The funeral will be held from the Copeland hotel Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and the burial will be in the Topeka cemetery.
