Edmund McFarlane was born in Lanark county, Ontario, Canada, on August 6, 1862, and was at the time of his death 73 years old. He received his education in the schools of the Dominion and emigrated to the United States in 1881, joining his three brothers who had preceded him to Douglas county, Minnesota. In 1882 he removed to Otter Tail County, Minnesota, locating in Parkers Prairie, where he at once engaged in the business of harness making, which business he conducted until about 1921. The business was at first operated in partnership with his brother, W. K., and their place was opened to the public on January 6, 1882. The partnership continued for one year, at which time Edmund McFarlane purchased his brother’s interest. Mr. McFarlane continued his business until around 1921 when he sold out to Otto Wallner and then moved to Blackfoot, Idaho, where he has since resided.
In 1886 Edmund McFarlane was united in marriage to Mary E. Taylor and they were the parents of six children. Mrs. McFarlane’s death occurred in 1903.
