From Story County Watchman August 1, 1889

A. A. McFarland died recently in Georgia, and the remains were brought to Gilbert for interment. The obsequies were attended by the Boone Lodge of Mason and quite a number of the local Mason. A special train from Boone brought in the Lodge and number of the railroad men orders, who attended the last rites.

Also in the same paper:
