[Mary Catherine Pettit.FTW]

Charles was a business graduate of Harvard. He was the city manager for Coleman, TX, and later a manager of one of the four divisions of the King ranch in south Texas, maybe the largest ranch in America. Fran remembers going to visit him there and staying at the ranch. He moved to Brady after retiring from the King ranch.

Mary Helen Haines notes:
Where is Charles in the 1860 census? He is not with his mother and brother in the St. Francois Co. Missouri census.

C.N. and Jane probably moved to Coleman, TX, about 1880 according to obit for Eliza Jane Lewis. In Frances Terry Ingmire's book, Ethel McFarland recalled her father calling him "Flat Land Charlie" because he went out to West Texas to live on the bald, flat, prairie. He supposedly made his fortune there. From census records we know that Arthur McFarland joined Charles there after he left Fannin County because of the land dispute. He is present in Coleman County, living in Coleman City in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. He is buried next to his wife, and Robert Lee McFarland, and Eliza Jane Bollinger, and the Pettys in the city cemetery in Coleman. Ethel kept referring to the McFarland family of Weatherford as being from this branch of Charles, but she must mean Coleman Co. instead--pretty close. The Charles McFarland of Parker County was born in Tennessee, so is a different family.

In Memoriam (Mary Catherine Pettit, probably published in the Piedmont paper).

At 6 o'clock last Sunday eve just as the autumn sun's last rays faded from the bright-hued hill tops, the spirit of our dear and aged friend passed out from the deepening shadows and chill of coming winter into the glorious light of her eternal home.

Mrs. Mary Joplin was born in Madison county August 25, 1823, thus making her age 80 years and 2 months. She was a daughter of Dr. John Pettit. At an early age she was baptized into the Christian church near Libertyville in St. Francois county, where she spent the greater part of her life, and where "Aunt Mary," as everybody loved to call her, was welcomed as the friend and helper of the sick and distressed.

Though always a comforter to the sorrowful, she had many sorrows of her own. Three times wedded, was three times widowed, and of the nine children born to her only three are living, ---Chas. McFarland, of Coleman, Texas, Mrs. Sallie Doss, of Farmington, and Mrs. Emma Birnie of this place. One brother---Dr. Lee M. Pettit,---and two sisters Mrs. Rebecca Frasier and Mrs. Jane Edwards---are left to mourn her loss. Besides her three children there are nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

She was a woman of a strong and helpful nature, a blessing to the sick and poor, ever ready with good counsel for those who asked it and they were many. About four years ago her youngest son, Robert McFarland, died and soon after her eldest son, John McFarland, followed. [This] blow was to much for
the mother heart and her heart broke. Paralysis deprived her of activity and she spent her days in her chair until four months ago she took to her bed never to leave it until death released her.

Her faith was strong and she was anxious to go---with only one regret; that of being separated from her dear faithful daughter that never left her for an hour after she became helpless; who has been her companion and mainstay and with whom she has lived twenty years past.

In the 1870 census, in Liberty twn. a Mary McFarland, age 50, born in MO. is listed living with Sarah (16), Emma (14), Robert (12), Charles (23) and Jane (22). The age does not fit exactly, but the children match. They are living next to John Keith's family who is married to Sarah Jane McF., a daughter of her husband's brother Jacob and his wife Mary.
