This was my grandfathers and ggfathers (b.1871) name except that the middle name was Omar. One of ggfathers uncles was named Cyrus McBurney McFarland(b1838). This line is from Juniata county, Mexico, Pennsylvania to Bureau county, Illinois. Cyrus's parents were Matthew (b.1806) and Margaret Dysinger McFarland.
