Flowers for the Living: Ladonia News
The passing of another week bring into existence another flower, just as rare and beautiful as any which we have strawn along the pathway of life. This week we have selected a farmer of the great Ladonia country, Mr. J. E. McFarland.

Mr. McFarland owns a large farm and beautiful home about 7 miles northeast of Ladonia, on the Bonham pike in the Silver City community. He is the kind of farmer who believes in diversification, and usually raises large crops of grain, fruits, caught, poultry and pork. He is also a man who believes in a good community, always taking a leading part in school and church affairs and it is largely through his effort that they are rated among the best rural in the County. Mr. McFarland has served Woods school for years as an efficient trustee.

As a young man Mr. McFarland united with the First Christian Church and has been an active worker in that congregation for years and has always supported financially and otherwise. He has proven himself in many ways to be an influential citizen.

Mr. McFarland and family enjoy the many luxuries the farm now affords, electric lights, radio, Victrola, piano; automobile and good roads.

As to the affairs of community, county and state you can always depend on Mr. McFarland being well informed. He believes in selecting the man for a public office who is competent and best qualified to fill the trust, and has never voted for a man merely through sympathy our friendship. You can always depend on his being on the right side of every question. Mr. McFarland is a good acquaintance, a special friend and he always finds the warmest welcome wherever he goes. Mr. and Mrs. McFarland have reared a large family of Christian girls and boys and they are now enjoying the latter years of life is only those can who live in contentment.

Obituary:
PIONEER LADONIA CITIZEN IS DEAD

John E. McFarland was born April 19th, 1849, and passed away at 1:05 on the morning of August 13th, 1927, being at the time of his going, 78 years 4 months and 4 days of age.

He was united in marriage to Nancy B. Horn, on September 25, 1873. To this union seven children were born, six of whom are living; Susie McFarland Abshire, (deceased) Artimessia McFarland Rattan, James N. McFarland, John J. McFarland, Cordelia McFarland Bartley, Annette McFarland Milford, Newman Horn McFarland.

John McFarland was born, reared and died, on the same farm. This is unusual, and complimentary too, for his boy-hood friends loved him as in the days of their youth. He was of a generous nature and ready at all times to lend a hand and means to his fellow man. Living in his house by the side of the road, he proved himself a real friend to all who passed his way.

He was a Christian for thirty-six years, and his life was such that he will be missed by his community as a man of true worth and benefit to all. Those who knew him loved him for his cheerful and hopeful disposition which was in evidence, even to the time of his going.

He leaves to hold him in cheerished (sic) memory, the companion, the six children, thirty-one grand children, and thirteen great-grand children, together wild a host of relatives and friends, numbered by those who knew him.

Funeral services were held at the First Christian Church of Ladonia Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, conducted by Rev. E.B. Chancellor, minister after which the remains were interred in the local cemetery. The funeral services were largely attended by the relatives and friends.

Six of the grandsons acted as pallbearers.

John married Nancy Bayless Horn on 25 Sep 1873 in Cooke Co., Texas. Nancy (daughter of Dudley Horn and Amanda Hughes) was born on 24 Jan 1854 in St. Francois, Missouri; was christened on 24 Jun 1883 in By Rev. T. R. Burnette; died on 31 Aug 1928 in Texas; was buried in McFarland lot in Ladonia Cemetery behind Presbyterian Church, Fannin Co., Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Memory of Mary Arabella McFarland Jennings about her grandmother: "Grandmother McF. impressed me as kind of an iron woman, ready to defend her own against any odds. When Minta and I spent the summer with her and attended school at Oak Ridge we had potatoes boiled with the jacket on every night for supper-and loved it. I thought she was a beautiful woman-erect posture and wavey black hair."

Artemissa's name is also spelled Artimissa by other descendants. However, on documents from the time period, it is spelled with an "e."

Memory from a letter from Bose McFarland to Lola McF. Hill, dated Jan. 29, 1967: "I remember Great-grand-ma-ma (Artemissa) when she was living with Aunt Jane Cunningham. She smoked a little clay pipe. And one day she showed me about twenty or thirty pennies; that were beginning to turn green, that she kept in a small tobacco sack."

In 1890: P.O. was Ladonia, and she had 1196 acres in cultivation.

In 1893 she must have been living with son Bose and his wife Sude, because she received letters from her sisters and they were always asking about them and Willie and the baby.

Below is the transcription of her obituary made by Lola McFarland, her granddaughter.

GONE HOME _ ARTEMISSA PENCE MCFARLAND
--- Ladonia News, July 1906
Saturday, July 6, the spirit of Grandma McFarland went home to
God. Aged 81 years . four months, and four days, Mrs. Artemissa McFarland
was born at Land Of Sinking, Ky., March 2, 1829. When a young
girl she moved with her parents to Texas, settling in Fannin county.
In July 1845, she married Jackson McFarland, one of the pioneers of
this country, who preceded her almost a quarter of a century ago.
Mrs. McFarland leaves five children, four sons and one
daughter, over thirty grandchildren and over twenty great grandchild-
ren and a great host of friends to mourn her loss.

Coming to this country when Texas was a republic, she spent the
early days of her life amid scenes which were as full fo exciting and
thrilling as they were of inconvenience and self-denial.

None but the few remaining pioneers of this country can adequate-
ly appreciate the hardships that were undergone by those who settled
here in an early day and transformed a wilderness into a cultured,
Christian communities. Without commercial, educational or Christian
opportunities, they toiled and denied themselves these pleasure that
rising generations might enjoy the products of their frugality.
Grandma McFarland was one of this number. She lived to see her desc-
endants to the third generations enter into and enjoy the fruits of the
struggles of herself and her frontier neighbors.

She was the product of those days and conditions when society
was free from artificialities, when friendships were genuine, and
life was delightfully simple and real. I am told by friends who knew
her well that she was a woman of strong, positive convictions; one
who viewed life from a practical, business standpoint;. Industrious
and frugal, she lived a quiet, unassuming life. She was a devout
Christian, but her church life, like her social living was free from
ostentation. Her life was the constant expression of her faith in
God.

Dear old faithful mother! She now rests from the eighty years
but the gentle influence, which, by a constant life, was set in mo-
tion shall live on in the hearts of others long after the frail body
has returned to dust. To sorrowing children and friends we would say:
Trust the same God that brought her a good old age and in whom she be-
lieved.

In a lonely graveyard, Not very far away,
Lies a dear old mother, 'Neath the cold, cold clay.
Memories oft returning of her tears and sighs;
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.

Now the old home, vacant , Has no charms for you,
One dear soul is absent, Mother, kind and true.
Ever more she dwells where pleasure never dies
If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.

Sunday evening a large company of friends followed her remains
to the family cemetery and after services, conducted by Brothers, Lee
and Parker she was laid to rest by the side of her husband.
Patient and gentle in life, she was glorious in death.

A Friend and Brother.

Mary Helen Haines research and notes:

I just bet that James E. stands for James Ewing.

Missouri Records:

Land: Deed Book A: pp. 234-235 Oct. 20, 1826 Elliott Jackson gives to daughter Jane and her husband James McFarland 151 acre tract on the waters of St. Francis River, on northwest corner of James Davis's 400 arpen tract.
On pp. 442-443. James McFarland purchased 340 acres for $960. on northwest corner of Nathaniel Cook's 800 arpen track from Elliott Jackson.

On p. 456 James McF.and wife Jane sells to Ambrose Willliams 225 acres for $650. on Aug. 23, 1831.
On p. 498 James and wife Jane sells to Wm Brewer 170 acres for $500. on Nov. 5. 1832.
On. Oct. 10, 1836 James and wife Jane sells 340 acres of Davis Survey to Samuel P. Harris for $1050 (Twnship 35, section 24, 25, Range 6 east)

Not sure where this record is, but Lola McFarland Hill was informed by the St. Francois County Clerk of a record I missed where on Nov. 1, 1832, Elliott Jackson, as attorney for Rucker Jackson of Hempstead Co. Arkansas sold 170 acres to James McFarland. This is probably in Book A as well. The family probably stopped in Arkansas for a short time before moving on in to Texas in 1837.

Texas:
Credited as a founder, with Daniel Davis, of the Ladonia community. Daniel Davis was the earliest settler, arriving in 1836, therefore receiving a Class 1 land grant. Because of his early death in Nov. 1837, his family sold his land and moved away. James McFarland purchased much of it that connected to his own land grant, and his grandchild James Franklin McFarland's homestead was on Daniel Davis land.

Southwestern Historical Quarterly: History of Fannin County, Texas, 1836-1843, p. 297 is discussing the Indian attack on the home of Daniel Davis in Nov. 1837 "Davis, less fortunate, had one arm broken and received a ball through his breast that killed him instantly. During that night a heavy rain had fallen forcing a scouting party of twelve or fourteen men from Lyday's Fort to seek shelter at the Davis house. This proved a fortunate thing for the remainder of the family, for no sooner had the Indians fired upon the two at the gate than they charged the house. They were swarming over the fences when the rangers opened the door. The sight of their unexpectedly large numbers caused the savages to retire in spite of the fact that the scouts were caught unarmed by the sudden attack and did not fire a shot. The rangers moved the dead man and his family from the scene of the tragedy to James McFarland's place three miles to the eastward, and it was there that Andrew Davis, the son, learned of his father's death, at ten o'clock in the morning, as he was returning fom the fort where he had been sent the night before with an old slave to obtain some hogs."

If this account is accurate, then it might be that Daniel Davis is buried in the McFarland cemetery, and was its first burial.

See "Our McFarland Family's History and Migrations" for more history about the settlement of Texas. More information on land titles, wills, probates, etc. can be found in the document "Land Issues Concerning James McFarland and his Children" written by Mary Helen Haines. Note: in some places his middle initial is shown as an M. This is a typo deriving from the Mc in McFarland, I believe. It is possible that his middle name is Ewing, since this name appears several times in this family.

Patent #264 for 1280 acres. 2nd class grant. February 23, 1845. In the original survey James' land includes the North Sulphur River, but in a survey dating from the 1870s it stops short of the river and two plots that include the river are in the names of a Cunningham and a Fulton.

James makes a few other purchases. In 1847 he buys from Morgan Mullens part of the Rice Smith survey for $9.75. (Book G. p. 368) Then in 1853 he buys land in the Davis Creek area from Allen Tilly. (Book G. p. 442)

In the 1850 census James and Jane are fam. #217 living with James, 17, Wm, 16, Mary Jane, 14, Newton, 10, and Arthur, 5. James land is valued at $1000. Land is valued at approximately $1.00 an acre. Fam. #216 is Anna McF. Etheridge with husband Howard on land valued at $100. Fam. #218 is Sarah McF. Sebastian with husband Elijah on land valued at $30. Jackson is living with his family #221 on land valued at $1500. Living not too far away is John McFarland, James older brother, fam. #229 living with his wife Mary, daughter Eliza and her husband Francois Deguire. Jasper McFarland is fam. #225 living next to Andrew White, Thomas P. Ratton, and John and Nancy Pence (Artemissa's father and mother). Jasper's land is only worth $89. Cintha A. McF. Tucker is living with husband James C. Tucker, but they have no land. Fam. #176 is Rebecca McF. and husband Hezekiah Blankenship, with no land, living next to Albert, fam. #175 who has land valued at $240.

Unaccounted for is John Ewing McFarland. On July 7, 1845 James and Jane appear at the Fannin County court to claim a land certificate for 640 acres in the name of their deceased son, John Ewing McFarland. They are issued certificate #152- a 2nd class headright. I assume he is the McFarland son who died in the Indian raid that led to the establishment of the McFarland cemetery. James and Jane hold on to this certificate until February, 1871 when they sell it to O.P. Richardson for $320.00, or .50 cents an acre. The document reads "the land certificate issued by the Board of land Commissioners of Fannin Co. to our deceased legitimate son John Ewing McFarland." (Book T, p. 199). When this land was finally surveyed in 1874, it was located in Hunt County along the Caddo Fork of the Sabine River, near present day Caddo Mills. In 1875 the formal land grants, #636 and #637, were issued by the State of Texas to the Heirs of John Ewing McFarland. (certified copies of both documents)

James then proceeds to give grants to his daughters and sons-in-law. In 1853 he gives Mary Jane and her husband Wm. R. Terry 130 acres of land from Daniel Davis survey, and Allen Tilley purchase. (Deed Book G, p. 444) He gives Elijah Sebastian, his son-in-law, and his daughter Sarah, a deed of 44 acres, July 28, 1855 (Book L, p. 84.) Hezekiah Blankenship dies in 1852, leaving Rebecca a widow and Jackson McFarland is the executor of his estate (Box 3, Case #114).

In the 1860 census, James and Jane are fam. #598 living with Newton and Arthur R. on land valued at $4000, with personal property valued at $2000. Fam. #598 is L. Cunningham, married to Mary Jane McF. Cunningham, who has already buried 2 husbands. They are living on land valued at $300, personal property at $600. Fam. #599 is Elijah Sebastian and Sarah McF. with land valued at $400 and personal property at $200. The Moses Cunningham and John Hulsey families have moved in and bought big chunks of land near by. Jackson is Fam. #586 on land valued at $3000, with personal property of $2000.

James and Jane sell 200 acres of their headright to son Newton McFarland for $100 on May 23, 1870. Deed Book T, p. 275

Starting in May, 1870, filed for record Oct. 27, 1871, In Deed Book U, pp. 50, 51, 52
All three documents are the conveyance of land titles to Anna Ethridge, Sarah Sebastian and Arthur McFarland. It seems that James and Jane McFarland wanted to disperse most of their land to their children while they were still alive, knowing that they would not be living much longer.
Sarah is given 156 acres, Anna is given 160 acres, Sarah gives to Arthur 44 acres that she had been given previously in 1855 (part of Rice Smith survey).

Location must have been in Missouri, judging from the birth locations of his brother John's children. The trip from North Carolina must have taken place in 1814 and arrived by 1815. There is no record of this marriage in the Ste. Genevieve, nor the later St. Francois county records.

James married Jane Jackson on 1 Dec 1816 in Ste. Genevieve Co., Missouri. Jane was born on 5 Feb 1801 in Scott Co., Kentucky; died on 14 May 1872 in Fannin Co., Texas; was buried in McFarland Cemetery 3 miles north of Ladonia, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
