held positions in California and lived in Montecito near Santa Barbara, California. They had no children. His brother was the researcher Livingston Farrand. Death and legacy The Farrands retired to Reef Point estate in Bar Harbor, which they planned to establish as an independent and self-perpetuating educational corporation. Max Farrand died there in 1945 and Beatrix Farrand established the foundation as they had planned. However, she came to realize in 1955, after a wildfire destroyed part of those gardens, that their plan for the foundation was impractical. She demolished the main house and uprooted the garden (John D. Rockefeller purchasing the azaleas for his own Asticou Azalea Garden in Northeast Harbor, Maine where they continue to flower), donated their extensive library and herbarium specimens to the University of California at Berkeley where researchers could more readily access it than in Maine, and lived the final three years of her life at Garland Farm nearby. The Farrands are buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in New York City. During the Bicentennial Celebrations, James Hutson, head of the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress, edited a revised edition of Farrand's four volume, The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 (Yale University Press, 1976).
