| 1553 | Eric Stevenson's letter to Don Macfarlane dated 1 Dec 1987 reports a miniature New Testament and Psalms sent to "John Macfarlane with love from Grandmother, Edinburgh 1887". This was presumably dedicated to John Edwin not 'old John'. Anne Macfarlane died 23 April 1890, Edinburgh, aged 81 years. The death record shows that she was married to John Macfarlane, Retired Teacher and that her parents were: Father: John McNeale (deceased). Sea Captain. Mother: Anne McCaghan (?) Deceased. and that the Informant was Jane Macfarlane, daughter This all seems to fit but has not been verfified as our family as at 28 Feb 2009. | McNeale, Anne (I29555)

| 1555 | Ethel never married and spent her adult life caring for her invalid mother. She was the piano teacher in Ladonia and seemed to have taught everyone. She also aided the young Sam Rayburn with his college expenses. Well I finally got the whole story on the Mcfarland section of The Ladonia Cemetery! The Bishop descendants were selling off the property of John L. Bishop and his wife Jane Bishop Moore. At the time Bill Burns owned the section right behind the water tower which is today the City Barns. Everyone felt that he would make a junk yard out of it and no one wanted that kind of junky mess sitting next to the cemetery. The Ladonia Cemetery Association took out a bank loan to pay for the acquisition of the Bishop property. Miss Ethel by now was in a nursing home and when Choice Moore, Miss Ethel's attorney heard about this, he told Miss Ethel. Forty five days after the loan was taken out by The Ladonia Cemetery Association, Miss Ethel sent the Association the $ 4,000.00 to pay off the loan. It only cost The Ladonia Cemetery Association the interest for 45 days on that loan. This is why this new section was named McFarland, for the generosity of Miss Ethel McFarland. Interesting tidbit. On Ethel's driving license, she says her name is Ethel Veda (not Verda) McFarland. On her brother's death, she signs a letter as Ethel Verda McFarland.

| 1565 | Family living with James parents Joseph & Esther at 1860 census. | McFarland, James M. (I13355)

| 1566 | Family moved to Rockingham Co. VA, where husband John was a blacksmith. Name spelled Krider and Crider in various census records. I assume the correct German spelling is Kreider. | McFarland, Rebecca (I14669)
|
| 1567 | Family records show that Thomas Edward McFarlin married Anna (Ann) VanBuskirk July 12, 1888 (*1). The two Ohio census listings from 1870 and 1880 record his first name as Edward and Eddie, but not Thomas. Last name was spelled McFarlin throughou t all but one censuses. In the 1895 Kansas census T M McFarlin is married to "Annie" (age 29 b Kansas), and is a grain dealer living in Sabetha in northeast Kansas. They have three children; Leota a 5, Marnie a 3, and Phoebe a 2 months. Thomas had recently arrived from N ebraska, although his three young daughters were all born in Kansas. This perhaps indicates that he had been working in Nebraska while the family stayed at home in Sebatha, Kansas. In 1900 he was again on the move, living in Sterling, Colorado without his family and rooming with; a flour-milling contractor, Isaac Shepardson (a 56), Isaac's son, and a book-keeper, Harry P Long (a 25). Thomas was now a RR grading foreman, a ve ry similar profession to his older brother William K McFarlin (who had recently moved east in 1899 to East Orange, NJ). Thomas' wife and family remained in Savannah, Missouri with her father Harvey VanBuskirk. (Information for Thomas E McFarlin wa s also given to the census taker in Missouri, but with an incorrect birthdate for Thomas - he being away at the time?). Perhaps Thomas McFarlin and brother William had been working together for the Rock Island or A T and Sante Fe railroad companies, as the railroads pushed new lines westward. By 1910, Thomas McFarlin, Anna and now their four children were living in Kansas City, Missouri, renting at 720 Euclid Avenue where he is listed as a (RR?) office labor agent. They'd had five children with four now living. The youngest, Albert, wa s born in Missouri (Kansas City?). In 1915 he and Anna returned to Kansas, living in Belleville, while daughter Elva was housekeeping for an elderly couple in LaBette, Kansas. Thomas, Anna and Albert McFarlin (age 11) were still living in Bellevil le in 1920 where Thomas was a proprietor of a restaurant, at age fifty-four. Thomas Edward McFarlin, born in Coitsville, Ohio (son of Anderson McFarland/McFarlin), and his wife Anna, remain living in Belleville, Kansas in 1930, now at 1510 Q Street, where he owns his own home and is retired, age 64. No death records locate d for Thomas and Anna McFarlin.

Other References *1 McFarlin; 2003 Many of the McFarlin (McFarland) births, marriages, and deaths, with the names, are from the 1832 William McFarland bible, presented to his grandson, William Kirk McFarland by Wm K's mother, Sarah (Kirk) McFarland, March 9, 187 7 (1897?). Photocopies of the vital records pages in that bible, plus copies of other vital record notes and letters, were given to Peter F McFarlin in 1974, by his uncle, Charles Kirk McFarlin, in Short Hills, New Jersey, who had the bible and no tes in his possession at that time. | McFarlin, Thomas Edward (McFarland) (I14498)

However, he travelled to America in 1790 with his aunt Mary McFarland Ellison and her husband Andrew Ellison, so maybe that is his full name.

| 1596 | From Lola McFarland Hill's book: p. 94 FLORENCE CORDELIA MCFARLAND m. F.C. Crawford and W.M. Williams born Nov. 9, 1876, the third child in the family of J. F. and Mary Jane Harper McFarland. They lived 5 ½ mi. N. of Ladonia, Tex. in the first home they occupied. In 1886, when she was ten years old they moved into the new one-story and a half house. The year, 1889 the family lived in Ladonia at the White Place. "Then back to the country home. Florence attended colleges including Kidd-Key at Sherman, Sam Houston Normal at Huntsville, University of Texas and University of Chicago. She taught school at Bagby, Providnece, Honey Grove, McGregor, Taylor and Ben Franklin. In 1898 she was married to Frank C. Crawford and lived in Ladonia. During that time her baby sis¬ter, Lola, stayed with her and went to kindergarten. Within a year her husband died and within a month her baby boy, Frank was was born and died in infancy. She went to Taylor, Texas where she lived in the home of her sister Mary Jennings, and taught school there for several years. At this time her school principal was Mr. W. M. Williams, whom she later married. During this time of her widowhood she was back home for the vacation months except for her graduate work and a trip to Europe in the summer of 1950. She married Rev. W. M. Williams, in 1912 and moved to Fort Worth, where her baby, Florence was born. Mr. Williams had two children by his first marriage, Noland and Mary Jane who made their home with them. They lived in Bonham, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Dallas. Their second daughter Frances was born in Dallas. Mr. Williams died in 1931. Florence and the girls moved to Ladonia amd lived near her mother for three years, then they moved to Denton and later to Whitewright - then to Dallas where she spent the remainder of her life. She was an active member of the Greenville Ave. Christian Church, and was the organizer of the Business and Professional Women's Group, among whom she had many true friends and admirers. She maintained a remarkable interest in current affairs, was an avid reader and an inveterate "clipper". She often subscribed to the local newspapers of the towns in which she had lived in order to keep aware of their progress and of the ones she had known. It would be a surprise if she ever failed to recall a person or event which she had ever known. She kept close contact with many of them and cherished the letters and visits from them. Her scrap books are invaluable as a source of family and Christian Church history. On Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24th she suffered a paralytic stroke in the afternoon at the Central Park Manor on Capitol Street Dallas, after she had spent a pleasant day with her daughter Florence and a visit to her home on Goodwin Street. She had been living at the Manor since a less severe stroke about two years previously. She had walked to the door with her sister, Lola, and after having conversed about all the members of her family - a kind of benediction - she said no more. She lived until the early morning of Dec. 12, 1966, at a little more than ninety years of age. Her daughters, Florence and Frances gave her loving care and they were a source of great pride to her. Laura and Jim Jernigan and the children of her step-children, Noland and Mary Jane compose her eight grand¬children. Her funeral service at the Wildwood Cemetery at Restland was very beautifully conducted by Rev. Put Henry and Rev. R.C. Lohman. The pall-bearers were: W. J. Jernigan, A. J. Jernigan, Nick Spellman, Lt. Col. Joe M. Hill Jr., John S. Mc¬Farland and C. Jack Wilson. This was truly a Reunion of her family and friends who wished to honor this great woman. | McFarland, Florence Cordelia (I26943)

| 1598 | From Lola's Book, p. 102: JAMES ROBERT MCFARLAND married Lyle KEAN. He was born Nov. 27, 1886 in the new house north of Ladonia. When he was eight years old he went to school to Miss Ella Wise. He got his foot cought in the benches in the school room. He went for tow months in Ladonia to Miss Maggie Wise and then came back to Woods School house until the family moved to town. His teachers were Mr. Nat White and Mr. Neeley Holt. An outstanding production was a play called "Out in the Cold.", starring his girl friend, Ira Newbury and his little sister was the poor little child wrapped in an old shawl. He also had his sister Bettie for a teacher in the old school house. In 1902 the family moved to Ladonia and Jim was a pupil in the Ladonia High School with Prof. Briles, the superintendent. He entered T.C.U. at Waco in 1906. During this time, he wrote to his father, to William Jennings Bryan and to President Theodore Roosevelt and asked them for advise as to how their lives had been successful. Br. Bryan wrote to him and quoted tohim form the Scriptures, "Love the Lord Thy God, and thy neighbor as thyself: and from Shakespeare, "To thine own self be true and thou canst not then be false to any man." It is no wonder that he became and remained a staunch Democrat after that notice from the "Silver" tongued Mr. Bryan. He graduated in 1909 from TCU in Waco, majoring in Science and Philosophy. During the school years, he baled hay on the farm and worked in his Uncle Bose's store. In 1911, he became book keeper for the First State Bank at $35 per onth. Jan. 1912 he was promoted to Asst. Cashier at $65. Jan. 1913, he was promoted to cashier at $125 per month and his brother-in-law Edgar Fuller was made assistant cashier. In May 1918 he entered the service of his country and trained at Demming, New Mexico. From there to Fort Dix and over seas from Oct. 12 to July 4, 1919, with the 109 Supply Train, 34th Div. Hdq. Detachment. At Christmas 1918 he and his brother Lt. Gordon McFarland met in Paris, France and lived to tell interesting stories about that occasion. When he returned from the service, he went to the Desdemona Oil Fields and while there he married Lyle Kean of Ladonia, Dec. 27, 1919. While he was overseas the home in Ladonia burned and his sisters, Lola and Tennie were married. June 1920 he and Lyle moved to Dallas where he was vice-president and general manager of the Dallas Storage and Warehouse. His daughter, Nance Marie was born May 11, 1923. In 1926 he traded the interest int he warehuse for apartments, and in 1927 he went to Ladonia and reorganized the Ladonia State Bank. The bank was closed in 1929 and was reopened in 1930 as the Farmers and Merchants State Bank. He worked on the liquidation. During this time the bank was held up by "Mch. Gun" Kelley, a notorious bandit and robber." From John Allen McFarland's So Tales, 1971, comes this story about the bank robbery: LXII. BROTHER JIM AND THE BANK ROBBER I was Postmaster at Ladonia at the time of this incident. The Post Office was directly across from the back door of the First State Bank. About eleven o'clock, I heard what I thought was a car backfiring several times. I had seen Brother Jim go in the back door of the bank just a very few minutes before. Soon I saw Harvey Bailey come out of the back door with two girls who worked in the bank and made them get in the back seat of his car parked at the door. Another man (later known as Machine Gun Kelly) ran and got in the back seat with the girls with his machine gun across his lap. I got really scared as I felt sure that with all that shooting, Jim was certain to have been shot or killed. I rushed across the street and into the bank. There stood Jim laughing with a bunch of men gathered around him. He was reporting his conversation with the robber who had commanded him to lie flat on the floor on his stomach. Well, it was funny since no one was hurt, for Jim's stomach was so large that he could not lie on it and touch the floor with his head and his toes at the same time. He said that every time the guy punched him with his gun and told him to get his head on the floor he would try to obey him, but his feet would fly up. The robber got about $14,000 but no other damage was done. Back to Lola's manuscript: "In Sept. 1931 they moved to Lubbock, whee he sold life insurance and cattle. In 1934 he came to Dallas with the Travelers Insurance Co. He bought ten head of holstein heifers from which he has realized a good income. in 1955 they moved to 6910 Rorthridge. He has been a faithful member of the East dallas Christian Church and Slayter Bible Class. He visits the ill, attends the funeral of his friends, and looks after his brothers and sisters in many thoughtful ways. He was probably his mothers favorite, because he asked her why if he was named "Jim" for his father, was he not named "Mary Jane" for her." Obituary from Dallas paper: "James R. McFarland, 83, of 6910 Northridge, a retired insurance agent for the Travelers Insurance Co., died here Monday.

One is that when the stock market crash occured in 1929, and everyone was making a run on the bank, Jim was unwilling to let everyone lose their savings, and so covered their money with his personal money, which depleted his position as well. Also the bank was hit by the famous bank robber, Pretty Boy Floyd, while he was working there.

| 1599 | From Lola's Book, p. 105 JOHN ALLEN MCFARLAND married Verne COX- 8th child, born June 14, 1889 in Ladonia, Texas, The family moved back to the homestead when he was one year old. He remembers well when the first telephone was installed- a direct line from the bank in Ladonia to the homestead. Moved back to Ladonia in 1902. He was baptized by Dr. E. M. Waites and joined the Ladonia Christian Church. He graduated from the Ladonia High School in 1907 with highest honors. His mother suggested that the "Harper" was predominant in Doc. He graduated from the University of Texas, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and the Friars Club. After his graduation he went with a class mate to Canada where his friend had a summer home. He planned to go to Columbia University to study for a medical career, but while he was away from home his father became quite ill and "Doc" came home and took over the management of his father's business. He went to New York with his brother Sam for surgery and came home and bought cotton from West Texas. In 1921, he went to Fall River Mass. to transact a cotton deal. That year cotton price slipped from 40 ¢ per pound to 5 ¢ per pound. In 1921 he married Verne Cox in Ft. Worth and they lived at the home place for about a year. Their son, John Allen was born Oct. 27, 1922. John A. Sr. became postmaster at Ladonia, which office he held until 1936. In 1937 he built a home in Greenville and lived there until 1940 when they moved to Dallas. He was with Bankers Life Insurance Co, in their investment department . They moved back to Greenville and John Allen graduated from High School there. In August 1945 they built a beautiful country home on the Cox estate and they were living there when his wife Verne died of a heart attack. He managed a dairy and his farms, spending time with his son in Dallas and some at his home in Ladonia. His son, John Allen Jr. died Jan. 12, 1955, and since that time he has lived with his wife's nephew, Dr. E. R. Cox, his wife Mary, and 4 children who call him Grand Daddy. He has spent much time and thought on affairs of the family and has gone with his brother Gordon to Chicago to the "track" each summer. He has a remarkable ability to see the humorous side of almost any remark and has entertained the family with his "side remarks" on many occasions." Mary Helen Haines writes: All of us remember "Uncle Doc" as the sweetest, funniest uncle (brother of grandmother Lola.) He wrote a wonder compilation of memories of his childhood growing up on the family farm near Ladonia, Texas called So Tales, memories of the late 1890s and early 1900s. He built a home on Hwy. 34 for his wife and son on the Cox land inherited from A. B. Cox. After his son and wife died, he gave the title to his nephew, Eli Robert Cox, and lived there with that family for many years, before moving in with his sister Lola and her husband Joe in his last years. He was known as Granddad to the Cox children. Written by Maggie Cox, Jan. 2008: John Allen McFarland, whom I call Grandaddy, loved my great aunt, Verne Cox, since they were little kids. His mom said that the only thing he loved any where nearly as much as Verne was cabbage, which he called her until he could say Verne. Grandaddy always wanted to be a doctor, like Dr. Eli Cox, Verne's father. (mhh-she meant to say Dr. A.B. Cox) Because of that, he was given the name Doc in childhood. His McFarland nieces and nephews still call him Uncle Doc. After high school in Ladonia, Grandaddy went off to U.T., where he pledged Delta Tau Delta. One night, the fraternity actives decided to brand the pledges. Grandaddy, being a strong tough farm boy, was branded first. Grandaddy fainted from what he said was the worst pain he ever felt.. After branding just the one pledge, the actives got scared and didn't do it to the other pledges. Grandaddy said the brand stayed on his stomach for at least thirty years. When World War II began, most young men Grandaddy's age were sent to fight. But, because the country needed farm products, Grandaddy was sent home to work on the farms after only one year of college. He was never able to return to school and become a doctor. Verne married a man from Dallas and moved there. Grandaddy got busy helping run the extensive McFarland farms and figured he would never marry. When Verne's sister-in-law died, leaving three kids, Verne wanted to take two of the children to raise. Her husband wouldn't agree to take the kids. So, Verne divorced him, moved back to Ladonia, and married Grandaddy who was thrilled to finally get the woman he had always loved - and two children to boot! Only the middle child, A.B., stayed in San Angelo with his father, a pharmacist. The oldest, a girl named Edna Verne, and a new baby, Eli Robert (my dad), stayed in Ladonia. The youngest child was called Tincy because when his mother died right after child birth, she handed him to her sister-in-law, Verne, and said, "Please take care of my Tincy baby." Even though the baby, Dr. Eli Robert Cox, grew to be 6 feet 8 inches tall, he was still called Tincy or Tince by every one in Ladonia. When Tince finished East Texas State, he wanted to go to medical school. His Uncle Doc, who had raised him, paid his tuition to Baylor Medical School. Doc and Verne had one son of their own, John Allen McFarland. Johnny and his two cousins, Robert (Tincy) and Edna Verne, were raised as siblings. Johnny was very handsome and athletic. He played football with Doak Walker at SMU. In one football game, Johnny was hit in the head and became unconscious for days. Johnny became a lawyer, but for years after that football injury, there would be periods of time when he was in almost a catatonic state - mute, staring and barely moving. My father always believed that Johnny felt one of those spells coming on when he ended his own life. Grandaddy was, of course, devastated at the loss of his son. (His wife had died of a heart attack years before that.) In his grief, Grandaddy was living at the farm in Ladonia in a very sad state. My dad, Robert Cox, brought him to our house in Dallas to live with us. That's when my great uncle by marriage became my Grandaddy. The Cox kids, Mollie, Maggie, Bobby and Will, couldn't have been given a greater gift than to have such a wonderful man live with them. Grandaddy loved good food. He was a huge fan or our wonderful cook, Bessie May. When he was eating something especially good that Bessie had cooked, we would begin to hear a tap tap sound under the table. We'd all look at Grandaddy and he'd laugh saying, "It just tastes so good I can't keep my foot still." Grandaddy and Bessie often worked on the crossword puzzles in the Dallas Morning News as a team. One year, the paper had a contest. Each day, the first person to get a correctly worked puzzle to the paper won $100. They never won, but they surely tried hard. Grandaddy was a big sports fan. He told me that he wasn't at all surprised that African Americans had just about taken over sports. "I use to watch those big black men working on our farms and realized that they were physically superior to whites. They were, as a whole, bigger, stronger and had more endurance." In his later years, Grandaddy was pretty hard of hearing. He told me that he couldn't hear anything on TV, but that it didn't matter. "I can see the baseball games with my eyes. I don't need to hear those sports announcers telling me what I can already see. Anyway, there isn't anything else worth seeing on TV anymore anyway - except sports." When Grandaddy lived with my family, he once gave us a color TV (one of the first) for Christmas. My dad was pretty surprised, because Grandaddy wasn't much for spending money. Every Sunday night, my whole family would watch Bonanza , Grandaddy's favorite show when he could still hear, together on that TV. The Cartwright men were a lot like Grandaddy: honest, hardworking, loyal, good guys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Helen Haines writes: All of us remember "Uncle Doc" as the sweetest, funniest uncle (brother of grandmother Lola.)

Even though the baby, Dr. Eli Robert Cox, grew to be 6 feet 8 inches tall, he was still called Tincy or Tince by every one in Ladonia. When Tince finished East Texas State, he wanted to go to medical school. His Uncle Doc, who had raised him, paid his tuition to Baylor Medical School. Doc and Verne had one son of their own, John Allen McFarland. Johnny and his two cousins, Robert (Tincy) and Edna Verne, were raised as siblings. Johnny was very handsome and athletic. He played football with Doak Walker at SMU. In one football game, Johnny was hit in the head and became unconscious for days. Johnny became a lawyer, but for years after that football injury, there would be periods of time when he was in almost a catatonic state - mute, staring and barely moving. My father always believed that Johnny felt one of those spells coming on when he ended his own life. Grandaddy was, of course, devastated at the loss of his son. (His wife had died of a heart attack years before that.) In his grief, Grandaddy was living at the farm in Ladonia in a very sad state. My dad, Robert Cox, brought him to our house in Dallas to live with us. That's when my great uncle by marriage became my Grandaddy. The Cox kids, Mollie, Maggie, Bobby and Will, couldn't have been given a greater gift than to have such a wonderful man live with them. Grandaddy loved good food. He was a huge fan or our wonderful cook, Bessie May. When he was eating something especially good that Bessie had cooked, we would begin to hear a tap tap sound under the table. We'd all look at Grandaddy and he'd laugh saying, "It just tastes so good I can't keep my foot still." Grandaddy and Bessie often worked on the crossword puzzles in the Dallas Morning News as a team. One year, the paper had a contest. Each day, the first person to get a correctly worked puzzle to the paper won $100. They never won, but they surely tried hard. Grandaddy was a big sports fan. He told me that he wasn't at all surprised that African Americans had just about taken over sports. "I use to watch those big black men working on our farms and realized that they were physically superior to whites. They were, as a whole, bigger, stronger and had more endurance." In his later years, Grandaddy was pretty hard of hearing. He told me that he couldn't hear anything on TV, but that it didn't matter. "I can see the baseball games with my eyes. I don't need to hear those sports announcers telling me what I can already see. Anyway, there isn't anything else worth seeing on TV anymore anyway - except sports." When Grandaddy lived with my family, he once gave us a color TV (one of the first) for Christmas. My dad was pretty surprised, because Grandaddy wasn't much for spending money. Every Sunday night, my whole family would watch Bonanza , Grandaddy's favorite show when he could still hear, together on that TV. The Cartwright men were a lot like Grandaddy: honest, hardworking, loyal, good guys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | McFarland, John Allen (I27134)
