Alienist, Head of Great Sanitarinm.
Hall-Brooke, as the Sanitarium of Dr.
McFarland is known, is ideally situated

on an elevation commanding a view of
the Sound and surrounding country.
There, under the careful ministrations of
Dr. McFarland and his assistants, shat-
tered health is regained and hope is born
anew. Dr. McFarland has devoted many
years to the study and care of the afflicted.
His experience has been a wide one, and
combined with his ability he has inher-
ited many of the fine characteristics of
his Scotch ancestors. Dr. McFarland
was born in Portland, Connecticut, the
son of David and Katherine (Abercrom-
bie, McFarland.
David McFarland, his father, was born
in Sterhng, Scotland, where several generations
of the family has lived. He was
a stone-cutter, and soon after his mar-
riage settled in Portland, Connecticut,
where he followed his trade. A Repub-
lican in politics, Mr. McFarland took

seek public office. He married Katherine
Abercrombie, a native of Sterling, and
they were the parents of four children:
Margaret, resides in Portland, Connecti-
cut; Mary, wife of Samuel Richardson,
now lives in Canton, Ohio Jeanette, wife
;
of Henry Fowler, of Summit, New Jer-

After two years study he was graduated
