Notes
From Hazel McFarland:
He moved to New Mexico from Colorado in the late 1800s. He was
considered *the* pioneer in New Mexico. He worked hard all of his life,
but always had time for his family. He raised all of his children in an
environment of love and affection without alcohol or violence. He became
a Baptist after he married Cynthia. She was better known as Irene.
One of the ironies of his life. He worked many years in Logan, and was
instrumental in the building of Ute dam which was at the convergence of
Canadian River and Ute creek. The dam was built, but soon after it was
built he drowned in it.
The dam was strictly built as a recreational lake.
***********
From the Enchantment (a Quay County, New Mexico Newspaper), August, 1978,
page 4:
IF SIM MCFARLAND were living today, you would probably find him inside
the McFarland Brothers Bank at Logan, New Mexico. He spent more than
two-thirds of his long life looking after this banking business which he
and his brother, Fred, establishd here in 1904. If he were not too
occupied he could tell you how he became a banker, and why he promoted
Logan's Ute Dam.
But he might be busily composing a letter inside the red sandstone
building which has housed the banking firm for more than 70 years. His
typewriter would be an old Oliver machine with a wornout keyboard.
"When my typewriter wore out several years ago, I couldn't get another
one like it," he once explained. "Finally, I found this one at a junk
dealer's place during the depression days of the Dust Bowl. He wanted
two dollars and a half for it, so I bought it."
After Mr. Sim reparied and adjusted the typewriter he used it for another
25 years. Wastefulness and welfare bothered him. "Some of us have to
produce," was the philosophy which he firmly typed in a letter
concerning government doles.
McFarland always intended to be a producer, but he didn't really intend
to be a banker. That came through various steps.
BORN IN ILLINOIS, February 26, 1875, he was Robert Simeon McFarland whose
father had been born in Scotland. Simeon's family moved to Colorado
while he was yet a baby, bringing him and his small, older sister. Here,
near La Junta, the third child, Fred, was born. A few months later in
1878, the father died. When young Sim's mother married John Ritter, the
family moved to La Veta. Eventually, there were eight Ritter children
also.
Sim loved and respected his Papa Ritter so much that he worked with him
and stayed near Colorado until he was 19. Then he came to New Mexico "on
a little gray hourse with $23 in my pocket." He went to work on a ranch
near Nara Visa, for Coots and Ritter (his step-uncle) for $30 a month and
his board.
Out of his wages, Sim was able to save enough money to do some profitable
cattle trading. By the time he reached age 24, the cowboy-trader decided
that he needed more education. Consequently, with a thousand dollars
cash, he resigned from his ranching job to go to Kansas City where he
enrolled in business college for nine months. He signed up for the
regular course which included a class in banking.
"I HAD NO THOUGHT of ever using banking knowledge," he said, although he
applied himself to all the instruction offered.
Besides the buisness information, the tall, slim erstwhile wrangle found
another attraction at the college. Her name was Cynthia Irene Brayton
from Logan, Iowa.
But when his term of study ended, Sim McFarland returned to Nara Visa,
still single, broke and jobless. He always said, however, that his
education paid off, for soon he got a job with the New Mexico Sanitary
Board as a cattle inspector at $75 a month. In this position, he rode
over the open range getting better acquainted with "all these fine
people," often eating beans and potatoes with them, and occasionally
buying some of their livestock. In later years, McFarland counted 35
years spent in the saddle.
In 1902 he became more sedentary when he and Fred filed on each side of
the railroad track at Nara Visa. here, they formed a partnership and
opened a box-car-sized store in which they installed a safe for their
money. Soon, they began in the service of keeping their customers' money
in the safe also, and paying it out when written orders came in. The
crude checks, scrawled with a lead pencil on scraps of envelopes or brown
paper sacks, were always honored because the McFarlands were familiar
with every signature.
ALTHOUGH BUSINESS was good, Sim kept remembering the opinion of M.
Bishop, the superintendent of the gang that had built the railroad bridge
across the Canadian River 25 miles southwest where the little town of
Logan had developed. Bishop said that in order for a town to amount to
anything it had to be located on a water course. Logan had that advantage.
The McFarland brothers decided to move their enterprises there, where
they continued their money exchange service. This quickly became so
important that they opened the private McFarland Brothers Bank in 1904.
Now, Sim McFarland was a banker, almost 30 years old, and still a
bachelor.
Fred was married, but Sim was still thinking about the girl he had met in
Kansas City. Suddenly, he concluded that he would visit the World's Fair
in St. Louis, and make a special side trip to see Miss Brayton in Iowa.
That was a successful call, for the following year the fair lady became
Mrs. Sim McFarland, in her home town, June 20, 1905. After the honeymoon,
Sim brought his bride to Logan, New Mexico where they made their home all
the rest of their lives. There may have beem some qualms that first year
when Mrs. McFarland had to wait for her husband to haul their drinking
water home in a wooden barrel. But together they overcame the
inconveniences, and extended their interests to the community. She wanted
a church for the Sunday School which was meeting in the railroad depot.
He was ready to help. When they aided the organization of the First
Baptist Church of Logan, the McFarlands became charter - and life-long -
members.
He became a school director who promoted a new building in 1910. Between
banking duties, Sim discussed ways to develop the water course with
depositors and county officials. A dam across the river to create a
recreation lake seemed to be the answer. Still, it didn't develop.
The McFarland brothers continued their banking business, lending money
and guarding checking accounts. As the business grew, it appeared to be
so well funded that in the early1920's, a couple of hold-up men entered
the bank and demanded money. The robbers forced bank' President Sim, his
sister-in-law Mrs. Fred McFarland, and others who were present, into the
vault, and slammed the door which they tried to lock. Then they scooped
up bills and heavy silver coins, and left town in a stripped-down Model T
Ford.
MEANWHILE, THE president yelled and hollered inside the vault, trying to
attract attention and help. Then he leaned against the heavy door and
shoved mightily. Slowly, the door swung open. McFarland, intent on
catching the thieves, grabbed a gun which was inside the bank, and ran
into the street. He located a fellow with a car who was willing to follow
the cloud of dust that rose up from the dirt road leading northward. Sim
climbed in and directed the driver.
After several miles the pursuit car sputtered and quit running at a
farmer's gate. The determined banker borrowed a saddle horse from the
farmer and continued the chase alone.
"l.didn't intend for them to get away," he explained afterward.
Some miles ahead, the hold-up men reached a creek where they stopped to
bury their loot in the sandy bank.
Back in Logan, Fred's wife had alerted officers to the north by
telephone. Before the day was over, the temporarily rich bandits found
themselves confronted by a sheriff in front and a demanding horseman in
the rear. They surrendered.
The cash was recovered. Later they were tried and convicted.
In succeeding months, the McFarland Brothers Bank progressed so that it
became a state bank in 1924. After another 20 years of bank work, brother
Fred died. Sim kept on, operating the bank as a family concern. He often
talked about the benefits a dam would bring to the town of Logan and the
surrounding area. He sat at his trusty typewriter to compose dozens of
letters to influential people.
AS THE YEARS advanced, Sim's son Robert assumed many of the banking
duties, but the president still liked to open the front door every
mornning to greet the customers and mention the need for a dam.
Farther upstream, Conchas Dam had been erected on the Canadian. But a dam
below the mouth of Ute Creek after it poured into the Canadian, would
catch a lot of water for fishing, boating and skiing. Finally, the
possibility of that dam became a certainty.
In 1962, Sim McFarland, now slightly stooped, stood beside Governor Edwin
L. Mechem, who is presently a federal judge, while the governor broke the
ground for Ute Dam with a gold-plated shovel. Then the bank president
received the shovel as a gift of recognition for his many years of effort
and promotion of this project.
Mr. Sim was there again for the dedication of the dam in 1963, located
about two miles west of Logan. During the next two years, McFarland saw
the lake develop, the visitors come, and the town improve. He watched the
start of a housing growth around the lake shores. And he still checked
the bank.
In June of 1965, Mr. and Mrs. Sim McFarland celebrated their sixtieth
wedding anniversary at their home in Logan. Five of their six children
were living to pay homage to their parents. One of them, Robert, who was
active in the bank at that time, is presently Logan's retired banker.
A FEW DAYS AFTER the happy anniversary occasion, the spry couple took a
friend out to the reservoir behind Ute Dam to enjoy the scene. Here they
got out of the car to look at the lake which Mr. Sim had helped to
create. Without warning, the car started its tragic movement toward the
embankment. The banker tried desperately to stop it, but the momentum of
the vehicle took Mr. Sim with it over the edge into deep water, where he
drowned. He was 90 years old.
Mrs. McFarland's death came a year later.
Today, you can walk into the McFarland Brothers Bank and see the pictures
of the founders with their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Fred McFarland, and Mr.
and Mrs. Sim McFarland.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
From Mary Grooms Clark's book, "A Mark of Time":
"One of the earliest and most prominent families that came to Logan was
the McFarland family. Sim McFarland rode into New Mexico on horseback in
1894, arriving at the Kim Ritter Ranch, located on the Canadian River.
Accepting work as a cowpuncher for his uncle, Sim later worked for
numerous ranches, among these was the well-known Howery Cattle Company,
headquartered at Tana, located twenty-three miles southeast of Logan, New
Mexico.
Sim often remarked that when he arrived in the territory all that he had
with him was a bedroll and a about all he had in it was a plug of
tobacco. ----------------
In 1895, Fred McFarland followed his brother to New Mexico and also took
a job with the Howery Cattle Company. The two brothers saved their $30 a
month and in 1902 they filed on what was later to be the Nara Visa town
site. -------------- They purchased a mercantile store from a Little
Dutchman for three hundred dollars and formed a partnership. Fred managed
the store while Sim worked for wages.------
In the mercantile is where the McFarland's got their start in the banking
business. Cowboys in the area knew the brothers and begin bringing their
cash to them, not wanting to carry it in their bedrolls. The situation
grew and some form of bookkeeping had to be worked out. ------------
In 1904, Sim and Fred McFarland went into official banking business with
the building of the McFarland Brothers Bank in Logan, New Mexico. The
bank was built on contract for $1,000."

Persian woman. A son and daughter were still living with their mother in
Persia
at the time of John's death. John left London 12 Feb 1599 in the "Hector"
with
Richard Parsons as its master. On 27 Apr they arrived at Zante where John
hired
a "saettia" and went to Izmir, Turkey and on to Constantinople, arriving
29 Oct
1599. He stayed in Constantinople for six months, resuming his journey
and
arriving at Aleppo 24 May 1600. He left Aleppo and arrived at Bir at the
edge
of the Euphrates River with about 600 people. According to the East India
Company records, John made a second trip to India early in 1614. It was
on this
trip that he fell ill and died. His body was buried in the Catholic
Cemetery.
