Markhamville (Kings Co.) Oct. 27 - The funeral of the late Armour McFARLAND, one of Markhamville's aged farmers, took place at the cemetery beside the Episcopal church Shepody road, Thursday 26th inst. The deceased was in his 82nd year and a fine speciman of the hardy and industrious immigrants who came from the North of Ireland about 50 or 60 years ago. A companion of his relates that on one occasion, while stream driving, he was carried through a sluice, 12 feet square, of rushing water, amid cakes of ice and logs pitched down on end into the foaming torrent below, where all his companions thought it impossible to get him out alive. He was seen, however, clinging to a rock, from which he was rescued and carried to their lumber camp where he lay for nine days with his thigh broken, as was afterwards discovered, before he would allow them to either take him home or send for the doctor. The deceased had twelve children; his wife and five of them have predeceased him. He leaves five grown up sons and two daughters.
