CAPTAIN WILLIAM S. MCFARLIN
Captain William S. Hr Farlin
Capt. William S. MeFarlin, a son of Sampson and Polly (Shurtleff ) Me Farlin, was born in South Carver, July 11. 182}, and died Jan. 11, 1914, in the house in which he was born.
Early in life he joined the Methodist Church and remained a loyal member to the time of his death. He was also prominently identified with the temperance movement, standing for prohibi- tion and active in its societies, being a charter member of Wan- kinquoah, Echo Lake and Winthrop lodges. He was appointed a state constable under the prohibitory law of 1874, and inspired by a natural aversion to the liquor traffic, he proved a sincere and efficient worker. Working in conjunction with officers Colling- wood and Baxter of Plymouth, he met with many exciting and amusing experiences, illustrative of the tricks of the trade when pressed by an incorruptible detective.
As a boy he joined the old state militia in 1852, became second lieutenant of Co. K of the 3rd Regiment of Bay State Light In- fantry, in 1854 became first lieutenant, and in 1858 on the resignation of Capt. Seneca Thomas he became captain of the company. Capt. McFarlin proved to be an expert drill master, and his ability in this direction was recognized on the muster fields.
C'apt. McFarlin with his company of "Minute Men of 61" had the honor of responding to President Lincoln's first call for men to serve at Fortress Monroe. The company was mustered out July 22, 1861 having completed its term of enlistment. Capt. McFarlin was immediately commissioned by Gov. Andrew to re- ermit another company, and as a result of his efforts Co. C. 18th Regiment, entered the service in the Army of the Potomac where its numbers were thinned by death, disease and disability that have marked it as one of the heroic regiments.
C'apt. MeFarlin suffered a sunstroke in the Peninsular cam -.
paign that necessitated his retirement from active service in Oct. 1862 and from the effects of which he never fully recovered. He was an officer beloved of his company and regiment, and all who knew him pay tribute to his memory.
After leaving active service at the front Capt. McFarlin re- tired to Washington where he was detailed with various duties in connection with the army, among which was a position on the U. S. Sanitary Commission where he proved very efficient.
Capt. Me Farlin cherished a pass to attend President Lincoln's funeral that was given him by Boston Corbett. who is credited with having fired the shot that killed John Wilkes Booth when he was hiding in a barn after the assassination of the President.
He was a member of the E. W. Pierce Post. G. A. R. of Mid- alleboro and of other patriotic and military orders.
The Carver camp of the Sons of Veterans, known as the Capt. William S. McFarlin Camp. was named after him.
He was a pioneer in the cultivation of cranberries for which Carver is noted. and it was on his land that the McFarlin cran- berry was propagated by his brother. Thomas Hewitt McFarlin.
Since he retired from his duties in connection with the army he has dealt in woodland and lumber. and has travelled exten- sively. having made several journeys across the continent and through the South. One of the most interesting incidents of his travel was his meeting in North Carolina with the Confed- erate Capt. Toms whose blanket. marked "Capt. Tom's. from his mother." he had picked up at Hanover Court House. twenty years before during the Peninsular Campaign. and now had the privilege of returning to its owner.
