Today I learned one thing, always keep my camera with me. We were out bird watching and because it was intermittent drizzling rain. I did not take my camera with me. Of course, and not an area came and circled around the heads about 8 feet for about 5 min. What wonderful pictures I could've taken. However, at the entrance to the Cumberland farm fields there is this stone, honoring Capt. William S McFarlin, who served in the Civil War. Here is some information from the history of Carver about the Capt.
CARVER VOLUNTEERS:
Under the ante rebellion State militia Co K 3d Regiment was known as the Carver company William S McFarlin captain. When Pres Lincoln's first call reached him, Capt McFarlin gathered as many of his soldiers as possible in the time given and started for the front.
Those who answered this summons and who are now designated as The Minute Men of 61 were:
