Though he never attended school a day in his life, he did not lack education, but on the contrary was a writer of more than ordinary ability and a conversationalist always pleasing to meet.
"During the Civil War he enlisted and served in the Home Gaurd, but was never called into active service.' Mr. McFarland was old enough to remember the falling of the stars which occurred in Tennesse over seventy years ago. On that night they had their wagon loaded ready for removal to Indiana, where he resided for some years and was married to his first wife, to which union, however no children were born.
On December 31, 1875, he was united in marriage to Laura D. Hunter, who with four children survives him. One son, Dr. McFarland, a fine young man died here about one year ago. Of his living chilnren, there are three sons and one daughter, Mrs. A. E. Leighton.   All reside here.
In 1876, Mr. McFarland went to Colorado where he had considerable experience as a miner and made and lost a fortune at the business, which he followed for three years. From Indiana he removed to Page County, Iowa, thence to Davenport, Washington, in 1901, where he resided for two years, moving from there to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, thence to Colville.
The funeral sermon was preached Wednesday afternoon by G, H. Wilber, of the Congregational church, from the Christian church, of which Mr. McFarland was a lifelong member. The interment was in the new cemetery." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 24, 1908

He was the second child of Wm. James and Etta Bean McGinnis. He was one of a family of eight children and leaves to mourn his early departure his father and mother, three sisters and three brothers, with other relatives. One little sister, Edna, having gone on before. His brief life was spent in this community. Earl has never been a rugged boy and for several months has been in declinng health. His last sickness was brief. A week ago Saturday night he went with the family to a neighbor's to spend the evening. On the following Sabbath morning he was taken very ill. During the evening of that day he had a chill and from that time grew gradually worse, passing peacefully away Friday at 4:15 pm in the afternoon. Earl was a good boy of a backward, retiring disposition and of an uncomplaining nature. On Thursday night before his death, in his unconscious state while suffering severely, he sang portions of songs he has been accustomed to sing at school, repeated parts of his lessons and called his playmates by their names. So until the last those with whom he had spent so many hours were in his thoughts. But to the boys and girls of his school room and to those of his Sabbath school he leaves this beautiful testimony. Last fall Earl attended the Griffith meetings, and giving his heart to Christ, he publicly confessed him by uniting with the United Presbyterian church on October 30, 1910, and was the first one uniting at that time to hear his Master's summons. How thankful we all are today that Earl responded to the Spirit's invitation and accepted Christ as his Savior and Lord. After impressive services at the U. P. church Monday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, J. P. Nesbit, the body was laid to rest in Maple Hill cemetery.
Remember thy Creator Now in thy youthful days, And he will guide thy footsteps Through life's uncertain maze. Remember thy Creator, He calls in tones of love, And offers endless pleasure In brighter worlds above. And in the hour of sadness, When earthly joys depart, His love shall be thy solace, And cheer thy drooping heart. And when life's storms are over, And thou from earth art free, Thy God will be thy portion Throughout eternity. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 23, 1911

As a young man he taught school in Canada for a time and came to the United States about 1860. In 1864 he was graduated from the law department of Ann Arbor, Mich. He was admitted to the bar of Iowa and practiced law in Clarinda. Afterward he engaged in the real estate and banking business.
He was married to Sarah Clark, Jan. 2, 1866. To this union four children were born, all of whom are living and are present to mourn their loss: Maude Mclntire of Berwyn, Ill.; Mrs. W. E. Coon of Red Oak; Mrs Joseph Misbach of Algona, la. and Miss Grace Mclntire of Berwyn, Ill.
He resided in Clarinda until 1893, with the exception of five years when he had charge of their banking business in Hastings, Nebr. In 1893 he moved to Chicago, III., where he engaged in the brokerage and insurance business until 1906. Since 1906 he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Misbach at Algona, Iowa, where he continued in his active life to the last.
Mr. Mclntire was a public spirited man. He represented the Page-Fremont Senatorial district in the Iowa legislature from 1872 to 1876, and attended the special session which was held to consider the construction of the present capitol. He was appointed a member of the building committee and it was in the discharge of his duties as such that he fell while inspecting the work, sustaining injuries from which he never fully recovered. It was during this term of office that he assisted in the election of William B. Allison to his first term as United States senator from Iowa. He was also one of the first mayors of Hastings, Nebr. Mr. McIntire was a man who took a lively and progressive interest in all public matter of the time even up to the time of his death. He was a great student of European history and could speak with great interest upon the history of the reigning houses of Europe, especially that of the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs.
He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and was a Knight Templar. He was also a member of the Woodmen of the World.
When a young man he joined the Methodist Episcopal chunch and after his marriage he affiliated with the Presbyterian church, of which his wife was a member.
He was generous almost to a fault and through his varied experience in life he always maintained a cheerful and hopeful spirit which made for him a host of friends wherever he went.
The remains arrived Thursday morning from Chicago and were taken to the Harmon Funeral Home. The service was held from the H. H. Scott residence at 2:30 P. M. that afternoon conducted by Rev. Abram S. Woodard, pastor of the Methodist church, of this city. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 26, 1915
