Notes
Robert was born in 1908, the son of Sim and Cynthia Irene McFarland in a
2 room frame house on the west end of Martinez St. (Main St.), Logan,
NM. A couple of years later the family moved to the country.
Robert enjoyed growing up on the ranch and especially enjoyed freighting
cattle feed and other supplies to the ranch farther north in the sand
hills. The wagon was drawn by a "four up" of little Jennette mules. It
was lots of fun when not loaded to sit down in the bottom of the wagon
and see how fast the mules could run. The wheel team had to be held back
slightly, to keep the lead team from coming unhitched from the wagon.
It wasn't much fun on a cold winter morning to milk 6 or 8 cows by hand,
but was an important part of the family living to seperate milk and ship
the cream to market in 5 gallon cans.
Robert had 2 brothers, Reel and Quinten (who died in infancy), 3 sisters,
Cynthia, Wilma, and Hazel.
He graduated from Logan High School in 1926. He worked for New Mexico
Highway Department until the fall of 1930, then registered in the
engineering department of New Mexico State University. After two years
economic conditions forced him to leave college and look for a job.
Later that year he returned to the rance to help his father with the
livestock. Drought and depressed market prices forced the final
liquidation of the cattle business in 1934.
On May 3, 1934 Robert married Ovene, the daughter of a homestead family
near Gallegos, NM. Ovene's parents, Otha and Mary Osborn moved to Logan
and operated a grocery store until after she graduated from high school.
Ovene had 1 brother, Otha Jr, 1 sister Mary Jean.
Before marriage Ovene liked to help Robert work cattle. After marriage,
her husband like to tell that he married her to keep from paying a
cowpuncher $1.50 a day. Ovene was a top hand for 46 years.
(Robert and Ovene) both went to work in the McFarland Bros. Bank in 1943,
she worked the insurance business, at the ranch and home.
(Robert and Ovene) bought the McFarland Bros. Bank in 1962, retaining Sim
as President, and Cynthia Irene (as) Vice President as long as they lived.
Robert and Ovene had one child, Robert Jr.
Bobby was active in school, graduating from Logan. He was active in 4-H,
feeding calves from the family registered herd, and showing them in the
County and State Fairs.
After College, Bobby was President of the Bank for a couple of years
before his death in 1975.
The family worked together at the Bank, the enjoyed loading into the
Bronco 4-wheel drive pickup, going to the sandhill ranch to check cattle,
fix windmills or wells.
They were reluctant to give up the ranch because of the extra benefits of
exercise and recreation. They loved the country where "The wind drew the
water and the Cow chopped the wood."
The sandhill ranch was sold in 1973.
The bank building was doubled in size in 1972 to make room for an
improved vault with safe deposit boxes and general use.
The bank was sold in 1977 with the present owners (*note this was written
sometime after 1982), Marguerite Poling and family operating a good
family business.
Robert and Ovene sponsored the construction of the educational building
at the First Baptist Church when they retired from business in 1977.
Ovene was a member of First Baptist Church, Logan, Parent Teachers
Association, and Bethel Chapter #15, order of the Eastern Star, of
Tucumcari, NM.
A malignancy condition claimed her life in 1980.
Robert was a Deacon in the First Baptist Church, a thirty second degree
Mason, and the first Mayor of Logan, serving from 1959 until his term
expired in 1982. The community gave him surprise party when he retired.
The first trustees of the Village in addition to the Mayor were, Johnie
Dugger, Mike Moralez, Joe Shollenbarger, and T.H. Smith. Ruby Smith was
clerk, also serving without a salary.
Robert Married Ruby Smith in 1981. She has always been active in
community activities, a member of First Baptist Church and Bethel Chapter
#15, order of the Eastern Star of Tucumcari, NM. She has reorganized the
McFarland family reunion, having it each summer at our "Hill Top Home" on
highway 39 north side of Logan.
