| 2405 | DONALD WELLES MCFARLIN 1900 - 1967 by; Peter F McFarlin - 2008, 2009 HAPPY DAYS OF YOUTH My father, Donald Welles McFarlin, was the second son of William Kirk and Margaret Welles (Wiltsie) McFarlin and was born Oct 18, 1900 in his parents home at Hawthorne Ave, East Orange, New Jersey (NJ). As to the spelling of the Scots last name; b y 1900, Donald's father William had begun using the shortened version; McFarlin, although when young he and his father had spelt it McFarland. Donald's eyes were blue and hair quite blond and wavy when young, becoming brown and curly by his teens. As shown by photographs, Donald was wearing glasses by age twenty. He was slender and reached about six feet when mature. He enjoyed reading m ore than sports and had a strong interest in family history/genealogy (!). Donald grew up in the early 1900's in an affluent family setting in the town of East Orange, New Jersey (NJ), first at 16 Hawthorne Ave and then at 170 Glenwood Ave. The residents there were mainly New York City train-commuters and the area was al most wholly residential. He and his brother Kirk, eight-years older, went to the local elementary schools and both eventually to the fine East Orange High School, located on Winans Street, a one mile walk away. During summers some of the young boy 's visits were to the Wiltsie relatives in Chicago and to the Welles' homestead in Lake Keuka, New York. They also went to Florida to the Deland area. There were no known visits to the grandparent's McFarland/McFarlin homestead in Coitsville, Ohio . As my uncle Kirk says (# 3); "...I didn't know one single person on that side. My father had brothers, I never knew any of them...he had a brother Frank who died before I was old enough to know him." One photo, about 1903, shows a three-year old Donald being playfully chased by eleven-year-old brother Kirk. Another picture is of five-year-old Donald holding up a heavy woodchuck just shot by brother Kirk in a recently cleared field, full of stu mps. (These photos, among various others, were given to Donald's son Peter in 1974, when he visited his uncle Kirk in Short Hills, New Jersey (# 2). In 1908, while Donald was eight and still in the elementary schools, his brother Kirk left for Williams College, in Massachusetts (MA). From then on Donald and Kirk had limited contact except for the summers when both might be at home at the sam e time. Kirk explains; "...we fell apart ... from 1909 until 1920, except for a small amount of time, I was totally away, and after that time, he was away." The 1910 census, taken in April, listed young Donald's family household under the last name spelled MacFarland and that his father William (and Wms parents, too), were born in Scotland. Furthermore, that William had immigrated in 1885 and was natu ralized - both erroneous data, and not likely made up by the census taker. Someone (Donald's mother Margaret?) had given the enumerator mistaken information. His father William was (correctly) listed as a "railroad manager" who owned their home fr ee of mortgage. They employed a live-in cook; Ida Aramson age 22, who had arrived from Sweden in 1904. All of the families in their Glenwood Street area were also well-to-do professionals who had from one to three servants per household. MCFARLINS MEET FOLSOMS About 1912, when Donald McFarlin was twelve, he attended a summer camp in New Hampshire where he and some of the boys wore shirts with a large W on them (perhaps for Lake Winnepesaukee?). Also at this camp was PFM's uncle-to-be; Edmund Hoffman Fol som who was one year older than Donald. They became good friends, exchanging photos and vying for muscular bragging rights (stretching on tiptoes and pushing up the biceps in photos). During these times (of 1912-1914) Donald probably stopped in af ter summer camp to visit Edmund at his home in nearby Brookline, (MA). In this Brookline Folsom family, Edmund had an older sister, Mary born 1896 and younger sister Margaret, born in 1906. Donald's brother Kirk would court Mary Folsom; 1917 to 19 25, and he, Donald himself, would later date, and then marry, Margaret Folsom in 1932. TRIP ABROAD In the late summer of 1913 Donald accompanied his mother Margaret and twenty-one year-old brother Kirk on a six week tour of Europe. They likely arrived in England first and then on into France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. A photograph of Dona ld and his mother Margaret was taken by brother Kirk on a hillside path in Switzerland. Thirteen-year-old Donald with backpack is leaning on his alpenstock just above a railroad track with the snow-capped Jungfrau in the background. Coincidentally , his son Peter later goes up that same railroad to the Jungfrau, during the winter of 1956, while on leave from his US Army station in Mainz, Germany. The McFarlins returned to New York City from Naples, Italy on the SS Princess Irene arriving Sept 25th, 1913, just prior to WW I. UNIVERSITIES In the 1920 US Census, taken on January 3rd, nineteen-year-old Donald is enumerated in his parents house, still at 170 Glenwood Ave in East Orange (owned free of mortgage), and is attending school (college). In the garage at the rear of the McFarl in property live their chauffeur George Ader with his wife (cook), and daughter (nurse) as well as two household maids. The nurse likely was for Mrs McFarlin for her "nervous condition" (described below by her son Kirk). The family was still prosp ering with; William conducting railroad construction (with his partner, Frank Hyde), brother Kirk in import/export brokerage and Donald starting his higher education. Donald was just a few months too young to register for the WW I draft in 1917. Upon graduating from East Orange High School in 1918, Donald attended William's College for two years, but then transferred to Cornell for one year. He was a member o f Psi Upsilon fraternity, as was his brother before him at Williams. However, Donald did not finish college, called back, I think, by the family troubles at home. DONALD'S PARENTS SEPARATE We pick up uncle Kirk's story (# 3) again about this time; ..."Now my father - it was in 1921 or 1922 that my father and mother separated. ...my mother had developed what I considered to be a nervous condition, which pursued her until eventually s he had a stroke. ... After the separation they lived apart for the rest of their lives." Donald at first chose to go with his father to William's nearby apartment in East Orange while brother Kirk went to live with their mother in her new home in South Terrace, Millburn, NJ. "My father set up single living in an apartment down in Eas t Orange. My brother went with him". As soon as Donald left college he went into real estate business in the East Orange area while living at his father's apartment there. DONALD'S CAREER Regarding his brother Donald, uncle Kirk relates to PFM in 1974 that "He was in the real estate business here, and he actually sold this property next door to us (Delwick Lane) to a friend of ours who built a house there." Brother Kirk and Mary Fo lsom picked up Donald in the town of Boonton on Sunday Oct 26th, 1924 and they spent the day together at his mother Margaret's Millburn home. The three played tennis in the afternoon "at the club" until it got dark and after supper they all drov e Donald back to Boonton (his apartment there?). Donald had started working for the General Motors Corporation in the winter of 1924 and in May of 1925 he "came into a better position" with them. This was apparently a temporary career change. When Kirk married in 1926, Donald moved back with hi s mother at South Terrace to be with her. "Then he went into building construction with an uncle on my mother's side (George Wiltsie) and they operated here for a couple of years." The 1930 US Census shows Donald living with his sixty-five year-ol d mother at 84 South Terrace in Millburn. He is listed there as a general manager in building construction. "Then Donald joined some real estate organization in Hoboken." relates his brother Kirk. Donald applied for Social Security (# 151-09-0226) on Nov 30th 1936 giving his home address as 10 Park Ave, Maplewood, New Jersey and his employer as the Hobo ken Land and Improvement Co. DONALD AND PEGGY FOLSOM As mentioned before, Donald had first met Peggy Folsom through her brother Edmund's New Hampshire camp and Donald's early visit(s?) to their Brookline home. Donald was about thirteen and she about seven at that time. The Folsom/McFarlin family con nection continued in the teens and early twenties when Peggy's older sister Mary and Donald's older brother Kirk were dating. The two familys may have had a further connection through the Lake Placid Club in Essex County, New York where Kirk McFar lin, his mother Margaret and perhaps his brother Donald, took vacations during the summers. Mary Folsom had canoed there with Kirk and his mother in the summer of 1924. Also, during the summer of 1925, Peg's brother Edmund lived at his wife Esther Dann's parent's summer place in Camp Abenaki almost next to the Lake Placid Club. He helped run the large Placid Club's laundry facility for his father-in-law, James Da nn, who was in the professional laundry business. It is quite likely Eddie and the McFarlin's were in touch there in the Adirondacks. And then, in that fall of '25, he and wife Esther moved to 173 Park Ave in East Orange, less than ten miles awa y from his old camping friend, Donald McFarlin, who was living with his mother Margaret at South Terrace in Millburn (Short Hills) New Jersey. No doubt Donald and his family occasionally visited together with Eddie and Esther Folsom. Then Ed became ill with Bright's disease, returned to Brookline in 1927 and died there in July, 1929 (on his sister Peggy's twenty-third birthday, which dev astated her, due to Peg's closeness to her brother). It is likely that Donald came to Brookline to pay his respects to Ed Folsom's family and became re-acquainted with Peg. For the next year, she continued at The School of the Museum of Fine Art s (Boston) graduating in June of 1930. During that year Donald and Peg became closer and then, by spring of 1931, they announced their engagement. Some of the photos taken of them at her parents home at 200 Washington St in Wellesley Hills in this year, include Peg's 1930 Ford Mode l A Roadster which she used in Massachusetts and loved to drive. Donald was still living with his mother at her home at South Terrace in Millburn, New Jersey, and he would come to Wellesley by train. He remained in real estate and construction eve n though business times were difficult just after the Oct Crash of '29. Times became even more difficult during the ten year depression that followed. WEDDING BELLS Donald and Peggy were married in January of 1932 at the Church of our Savior in Longwood, Massachusetts, with a small gathering of relatives and close friends. They stayed at the Charlesgate Hotel in Boston for several days and then 'honeymooned ' in his mother's South Terrace home in New Jersey, for two weeks while she was in Florida. They were having their own little rental house at 222 Hillside Ave in nearby Chatham cleaned and painted. They moved in there by mid-February. This first h ome was about three miles away from his mother's house and four from brother Kirks and Pollys. When Peg's parents Mollie and Franklin were first visiting them in Chatham in May of 1932, Mrs Folsom (Mollie) wrote a newsy letter to Peg's sister Mary Applegate in Wellesley. Part of which is; "Margaret was going to write you, but they at presen t, have a great deal to worry them and I do wish we could lend a helping hand, but we simply cannot. Donald is proud and doesn't want us to know, but Margaret has told us secretly..." This appears to be the start of some of Donald's (and Peg's) co ming monetary hard times. The Kirk McFarlins had a nice family gathering at Delwick Lane for Christmas of 1932, with Kirk taking a 'cable' picture of the group at table. Then, some time in mid to late 1933, Peggy had a miscarraige of a baby, perhaps by a fall down some sta irs (Alison's recollection from her mother), and Peter recalls his mother telling him it was born a 'blue baby'. The boy would have been named David. GOOD? TIMES The speak-easy days ended in 1933 with the repeal of alcohol prohibition. At about the same time the newly-weds Donald and Peggy began to go into New York City fairly often, to the theater, dinner shows, and clubs. His mother later tells Peter tha t they became friendly with some of the better known musicians such as Tommy Dorsey. Donald began to drink more heavily and, she says, he gambled. Donald sometimes continued this trend, alone, and he began to stay out late, eventually inviting peo ple out to their home, unannounced, while Peggy was home alone. But there were many good times too, there at their next home at 8 Everett Place in Maplewood. A 1934 photo of Donald, is captioned by Peggy on the reverse with; "Donald and Peggy on wedding trip - two years late - this 'trip' was a five day moto r trip much appreciated. Money is so scarce!" The photo shows just Donald with his suit jacket off and holding a cigarette. In all the other photos of him, Donald wore suits. When Peg's parents came from Wellesley to stay for the birth of Alison during June and July of 1934, we find Donald; helping paint the newborn's 'carrying basket', going together with Peg to visit friends and joking about being kicked by the 'jump ing bean' inside Peggy. Mollie writes (to Mary A); "Donald is out hoeing and Peggy is holding her breath as she says he does not know a violet from a weed, but I told her never mind. ...She and Donald went to the the 4th of July comedy put on by t he town and later she, her father and Donald went out to see the fireworks." Peggy wrote in July 1934 to her sister Mary about having had quite an adventure; "I'll bet mother didn't tell you about our ride out to Mendham in Washington Valley, last week, when Dan (Wright) came to dinner and we all had a beautiful drive thro ugh that hilly, quaint district and saw a splendid job, an estate Dan is doing out there. I'll bet she didn't tell about the night we were out in the Reservation and got stuck, and the miles Donald had to walk after monkey wrenches, and the teleph one for help, and how Kirk towed us to a garage in Springfield, dogs and all!" They also made various short trips to Mrs. McFarlins and Kirk and Polly's. DONALD'S FAMILY GROWS Finally the long-delayed (date was misjudged) birth-event happened and baby Margaret Alison McFarlin was born, August 1st, 1934 at the Orange Memorial Hospital. There were many visits from family and friends. In the photo at left, Alison is standing in her carraige at nine months old. Donald and Peggy are visiting at his brother's Delwick Lane, Short Hills home. Polly looks on as Kirk takes the picture and their son Kirk jr hams it up lying on the wall . In March of 1936, they moved to 10 Park Avenue, Maplewood and the Folsoms came to visit (via train, as they usually did) for a week or so at Thanksgiving time. Mollie writes; "Mr McFarlin is coming to dinner on Thanksgiving, Kirk and Polly going t o Mrs. McFarlins." Early in December Peggy writes that they went to see "The Great Zeigfield", a musical film that won three oscars. However, the 1936 letters from 10 Park Ave make little mention of Donald, and Peggy is now signing "Peggy and Alis on". On a visit to Mary Applegate's Wareland Road home in July of 1936, Donald, Alison and Peg are on the lawn in front where Alison has just cooled off in a dishpan of water. "Then Donald joined some real estate organization in Hoboken..." relates his brother Kirk. Donald applied for Social Security (#151-09-0226) on Nov 30th 1936 giving his home address as 10 Park Ave, Maplewood, New Jersey and his employer as the Hob oken Land and Improvement Co. Donald and Peg's last child, Peter Folsom McFarlin, is born February 18, 1937 at Orange Memorial Hospital. Written in his baby book (by his mother) for his 'First Outing' was; "In his third month he made the trip to Wellesley Hills, Mass. Stayed t wo months. Then he and his sister were taken to the Jersey sea-shore. We took a sterno heater along, and heated the bottles which had been kept in an ice pail in the trunk compartment. He slept in a market basket. A crowded automobile, with three -year-old, three-month-old, cat, dog, and ourselves!" In August of 1937, Peggy returned from her summer stay in Wellesley Hills, met Donald at the shore and they went to his mother's South Terrace home in Short Hills, while his mother was in New Hampshire. Peggy writes her sister on August 27th; "... After three days of doubt and fear of the waves, Alison studied other children going in, and made up her mind to go in, holding on to her mummy and daddy...". This is the last happy mention of Donald. They then return to their next home at May Terrace in Maplewood. About this time, in 1937, Donald's mother Margaret had a massive stroke while she was visiting cousins in Florida. Conditions between Peggy and Donald worsened, and were heightened a nd made almost impossible by Mrs McFarlin's return and the requirements of her care, even though she had a full time nurse. COMING APART A separation was agreed on while Donald attempted to improve himself (alcohol, gambling and behavior). Aunt Elsie MacTaggart writes to Mary, on Nov 15th 1937, "...Margaret, the children and the furniture! are to arrive in Wellesley Hills soon af ter Thanksgiving. Their flat already let for Dec 1st." (prob. May Terrace - PFM) "He goes to his mother, who approves, and to spend holidays with his family."... (Peggy and children in Wellesley - PFM)... " All is amicable. Mary goes to take Aliso n temporarily during upheaval." Elsie continues; "Questions arise in my mind, naturally, and I wonder if funds for Mrs. McF have been stopped and it is deemed unsuitable to take her into the family of children. She is extremely difficult, screamin g when opposed, at times at the top of her lungs." Apparently, the Folsom family had been helping out with Mrs. McFarlin's expenses, too? Peg and children did return to Wellesley Hills in 1937, first stopping with her sister Mary at Wareland Rd until taking a rental house at 48 Laurel Ave for a year until October of 1938. She and Donald attempted to reconcile during this period, bu t In July of '38, Peg writes a difficult and poignant letter to her Aunt Elsie. "...Unfortunately, it has been proven that I cannot trust Donald, nor feel SAFE for the children or myself while he is my husband. The papers, filing suit for divorce on grounds of intoxification and mental cruelty, will be sent to Donald. ...Fina ncial promises have not come true: Donald has defaulted time after time and left me worried and frightened for the children. I have excused him, looking for rehabilitation of his great excesses. "This last occurance, last week, was the end as far as I was concerned. An intoxification of a week, following a casual 'throwing up' of his position, and then daring to come to me and the children with no proper explanation of his conduct, was a n insult to my intelligence. "After his mother left - a most difficult situation - I sent him away. ...Mary and Tertius, out of the goodness of their hearts, have offered me a place with them , free of rental, throughout the winter. ...The winter's arrangement will enable m e to start the long-needed 'rainy-day' fund that is compulsory when small children are concerned. ...I can 'pull my own weight', particularly when unhampered by never knowing what sad happening might turn up next by a weak, unstable character." This powerful 1938 letter came into PFM's hands years after both Donald and Peggy had died. A strong, sad message from the past which shed some light on those difficult times. There are no other family photos of Donald or any further references t o him in our family letters. Donald McFarlin declared bankruptcy in January of 1939 in the United States District Court of New Jersey. On October 20th 1939 Margaret Folsom McFarlin was granted a divorce from Donald on the grounds of abusive treatment and alcoholism. She was a warded custody of Alison and Peter and they remained in Wellesley Hills through 1955, when Peter went into the US Army and Alison married in 1956. NEW BEGINNINGS -- THEN DONALD'S PASSING Peter's uncle Kirk continues in their 1974 interview regarding his brother Donald; "...then he worked for my father for a time and eventually ended up with the Washington government in supply during the War. and while he was there he met his seco nd wife. She was in the Washington picture somewhere. She was Alice Miller and was very nice and unassuming. She had a daughter from a previous, unsuccessful marraige (Donald and Alice had no children). ...after his war bureau closed up...in 1945 , he moved to Florida and from there to Jamaica. (When Donald's son Peter visited cousin Kirk McFarlin (called Mac) in Rio Dulce, Guatemala in February of 2009, Mac said he had visited Donald in the 1950's while in the U.S. Marines. They had share d some Jamaican rum up in the hills above Kingston at Donald's hotel retreat which Donald and Alice owned and ran at the time.) "They spent four or five years in Jamaica in motel work - managing. They tried to translate that into an enterprise...somewhere outside of Kingston - on the south shore. After four or five years, they found they could not combat the native strengt h without capital. This was very difficult - and they did not have the capital. So they finally withdrew from there and came back to Florida. They returned into the hotel/motel management operation and continued that until he became seriously ill. "It was cancer of the throat. It was terrible. We were on our way to Guatemala and we stopped there (in Florida, about 1965-66) and he had had one operation and then a second operation and I think we were there between the first and the second. I t was hopeless and progressive, and this person, whom he had married, had nursed him when they had exhausted their hospital means. She nursed him for almost a year, single-handed, under conditions that were very difficult. And it was for this tha t we had a great deal of respect for her." In a Jan 27th 1967 letter to Peter, his uncle Kirk writes; "My dear Peter; "I wrote your father at once about your visit here, and of your request that I do so. I had heard from him shortly before that time, but he was apparently not able to write after receiving my letter. His condition became critical and in early Janu ary he was moved back to the hospital. I am sorry to have to tell you that he passed away on January 12th, after an illness extending a little more than a year. His wife advised me of his desire to be cremated, and to be buried in the family plo t here in Millburn. ...Very cordially yours - Kirk McFarlin" Donald's widow returned to Washington DC and worked for Lord and Taylor's for at least seven years before eventually moving to Wisconsin to live with her daughter and family. At the age of ninety-six, Alice Miller McFarlin died November of 1996 i n Three Lakes, Oneida county, Wisconsin, near her daughter's family. FSID LTKF-QXL (Research):Family Tree DNA (www.familytree.com) Family Tree for Mr. Peter Folsom McFarlin REMAINDERS AND CLOSURE Peter and Alison have talked over the lack of their father ever contacting them during the almost thirty years from 1938 until his death in 1967. It remains a mystery why he did not and is something that was missed by them. But, even more, look wh at he missed out on, with us. We wonder if the McFarlin/Folsom families might have created such a binding constraint on Donald that, at first, he found it beyond himself to make the contact, even if he'd wanted to. And later, he might have just drifted completely apart from h is children, as he slowly rebuilt his life, away from all reminders of the arguments and stress generated from his mother and Peggy's conflicting demands and needs. Alison has no recollections of her father. Peter has always had one dim scene he 'remembers'; sort of interacting with his father. Peter was lying in his crib (at about age one) and his father pushed a ball towards Peter, (hoping to play ball?), b ut Peter (the baby), didn't push it back and Donald turned away disappointed. A peculiar memory to have carried all these years. In the early 1980's, Peter, by himself, conducted a process of contacting his father. Without the details of the methods, but through meditation, Peter asked for a 'healing' contact with his father. During this, Peter felt a sharp electric 'jolt ' on his right shoulder blade, strong, but not unpleasant, and received a 'message' of mutual forgiveness with his father from the 'other side'. I forgave him and, most importantly, he forgave himself. GENERAL NOTE: While growing up and living in Massachusetts, Peter had various short conversations with his mother and her family, regarding his father, Donald McFarlin and the McFarlin family of New Jersey. Peter never met or spoke with his father after the sep aration of Donald and his mother Peggy in 1938 (when Peter was one). In 1966 Peter asked if his uncle Kirk would please communicate with Donald in Florida to let him know of how Peter and Alison were doing, and that Peter would like to contact him (see above). NOTES AND REFERENCES - (# 1) McFarlin; 1966 - In October, while living in Riverdale, NJ and working at Alpine Geophysical Associates in Norwood, NJ, PFM first ever looked up (and telephoned) his uncle Kirk and aunt Polly McFarlin. This was followed in November by a vi sit from PFM to the McFarlin's home on Delwick Lane in Short Hills, NJ. At that time, uncle Kirk gave PFM a small amount of data and information. - (# 2) McFarlin; 1974 - 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 , 1897 (1877?). 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 a nd notes in his possession at that time. Various McFarlin family photos also were given to PFM at this time. - (# 3) McFarlin; 9-10 October, 1974 - Personal conversations between PFM and Kirk and Polly McFarlin at their home in Short Hills NJ.

| 2410 | Dr. Richard Allen Hargis is buried in the Upper Old Athens Cemetery behind the New Hope Baptist CBios: Richard Allen Hargis, Claiborne Parish, LA Submitted by: Quincy Lee Hargis, 2601 W. Magna Carta Place, Baton Rouge, LA 70815-5523 ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.org/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.org/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** ************************************************ RICHARD ALLEN HARGIS OF CLAIBORNE PARISH, LOUISIANA HIS TIME by Quincy Lee Hargis Richard Allen Hargis spent his early years in Tennessee, where according to family tradition, he was born to John and Sarah Douglass Hargis. John and Sarah who were married in Caswell County, North Carolina, 4 February 1795, moved to Smith County, Tennessee, within the next five or six years. County records verify this by listing him and his wife among a group of pioneer residents from 1801. Land transactions were made by John and recorded along with other legal documents. These are on file in the Smith County Court House. There are two documents that would be helpful to unravel the mystery surrounding this family. These are the last will and testament of John Hargis and the probate of his estate. Neither has been located after many years of searching. Even though written evidence is lacking, research by several genealogists supports a claim that John and Sarah Douglass Hargis were the parents of Richard Allen Hargis. Upon reaching the age of eighteen or nineteen, Richard Allen Hargis moved to Lawrence County, in the state of Mississippi. We do not know why he left Tennessee at such a young age, leaving the home of his mother and father. However, living near him in this southern Mississippi county was Aaron Hargis, an uncle, who also migrated, and probably provided the influence that Richard Allen needed to make such a decision. Evidence of these two Hargis men living in Lawrence County is provided by the 1820 Census. Marriage Book I, Page 149, State of Mississippi, Lawrence County, reads as follows: "Know all men by these presents that we Richard Hargis and Aaron Hargis are here and firmly bound unto Walter Leak, Governor of the State Aforesaid for the time being and his successor in office in the sum of $200.00 and for which payment will and truly to be paid. We bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators and signers firmly by these presents 5 June 1823. The conditions of the above obligation is such that if the above bound Richard Hargis does bound in marriage Pennicia Mitchell provided there shall be no lawful cause to obstruct the said marriage, then the above obligation is to be void of no effect or otherwise to remain in full force and virtue. R.A. Hargis (Seal) A. Hargis (Seal)" Richard A. Hargis and Pennicia Mitchell were married, 8 June 1823. At the present time Pennicia Mitchell's parents are not known. Two Mitchell families lived in Lawrence County and one of these is most likely to be her parents. Edward and Wright Mitchell are listed in the 1820 U.S. Census. Wright Mitchell is in the correct age group to be the father of Pennicia, while Edward fits the category of being her grandfather. From the "History Of Mississippi" by Lowry, we find that Richard A. Hargis served as Senator. Also, the Mississippi Senate Journal of the Called Session of 1835 shows Richard A. Hargis, "Senator from the Senatorial District, composed of the Counties of Lawrence, Simpson and Covington". This book being 95 pages in length, mentions his name many times. He also served as Justice of the Peace for Lawrence County. Born to Richard and Pennicia Mitchell Hargis were two sons and three daughters. The eldest child, a daughter, Launcey Ann was born in 1824 followed by a son Quincy Anson, born 16 October 1825; daughter Angelina Dilra was born about 1827; daughter Sarah Delzira about 1830; and son John D. about 1831. Sometime after the birth of John, Richard's wife Pennicia died leaving him with five small children. On 20 February 1834 Richard took as his second wife Susannah Neyland. After the birth of their first child, a son, Alphons O. P. (Alfins) Hargis, Richard and Susannah moved to Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, as evidenced by the 1840 U.S. Census for that Parish. Family tradition indicates they moved first to Arkansas before settling in Louisiana. This may be an accurate assumption since one daughter, Fary Vensina, is listed in the 1860 U.S. Census of Claiborne Parish, as having been born in Arkansas. In any case their home in Louisiana was located near the Arkansas line. Determining an accurate boundary between the two states, may have posed a problem during the early days in the year of 1840. The remaining children of Richard and Susannah Neyland Hargis were all born in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana as shown in census records. Following behind Alphons O.P. and Fary Vensina (born abt. 1834 and 1840 respectively) comes Susan H., born about 1842; Richard D. about 1844; Franklin Courtney, 1 January 1848; and Balus S., about 1849. Eleven children, lacking in questionable identity, were produced by Richard Allen Hargis and his two wives. They had husbands and/or wives with names such as Havard, Moore, Wroten, McFarland, Pratt, Nolan, Hargis and Rogers. Quincy Anson Hargis married Clementine Havard, 4 October 1849, in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. To this union fourteen children were born resulting in many grandchildren and great grandchildren, one of whom is this writer. Launcey Ann's husband was William T. Moore, Angelina Dilra married Joel H. Wroten, Sarah Delzira married Joseph Friend McFarland, and son John D. was killed in the Civil War without marrying. This completes the children from his first marriage to Pennicia Mitchell. Children by Susannah Neyland include Alphons O.P. who married Elizabeth Pratt. He died at Law Hospital, La Grange, Georgia, 13 December 1863, as a result of wounds received in the Civil War while enlisted in Co. C, 19th La. Infantry. His widow and children lived in the household with Richard and Susannah for a while. The next child after Alphons is Far Vensina who first married John Nolan and later took as her second husband Frank M. Hargis, a war veteran from the State of Missouri. The third child is Susan H., who remained single and lived with her parents until they were deceased. She may have died in 1900 while living in the home of a Williams family located near Junction City, Arkansas/Louisiana. Richard D., another son, was killed in the Civil War without marrying. Franklin Courtney married Millie Rogers and their daughter Carrie married Arlanzo Jackson Gates. Mrs. W.T. Hayes of Mer Rouge, Louisiana, a granddaughter of Franklin Courtney and Millie, was most helpful by allowing access to the family bible. Much of the information on this family came from this bible. Another child and son of Richard Allen and Susannah Hargis, Balus S., appeared on the 1850 census record of Claiborne Parish as one year of age. On the 1860 census he is not listed. Two other children enumerated on the 1860 census as living in the household are: Jas. S., whose age was recorded as nine years and Elizabeth G., a female at the age of six years. Nothing more is known about these children. The 1860 census also shows the age of Richard Allen as fifty eight and Susannah as fifty one, not too old to have children but questionable. Following Richard and family to Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, was a sister, Lucinda N. Hargis. Using the 1830 census of Lawrence County, Mississippi, it is believed she resided in his household and is enumerated along with his wife Pennicia, in the 15 to 20 age category. Later that same year Richard gave written permission for her to marry Josiah Wilson. Eight children were produced by this couple with all but the youngest born in Lawrence County, Mississippi. The residence of Josiah and Lucinda while living in Claiborne Parish, was near the community of Summerfield where they were members of Hebron Baptist Church. The church cemetery has headstones for them along with some of their children. A great great granddaughter, Iva Allgood Almond, who lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a fellow genealogy researcher and helps in gathering family information. Being busy and productive was important to the everyday life of Richard Allen Hargis. From Senator and Justice of the Peace in Mississippi, he broadened his scope to include Baptist Minister and Medical Doctor as well as farming and merchandising after he moved to Arkansas/Louisiana. In Deed Book "A" page 217 for the records of Union County, Arkansas, Circuit Clerk's Office we find: "To all whome it may concern these are to certify that the bearer herof R.A. Hargis was at Call of Holly Grove Baptist Church, solemnly set apart this day by the imposition of hands and ordained by us to the Gospel Ministry. And he is fully Authorized to minister as an evangelist in the Vineyards of the Lord wherever divine Providence may direct his course and to administer the Special as well as more common ordinances of the Gospel on every proper occasion and we do hereby Recommend him to the affectionate regards, confidence and respect of all Christian People but more especially of those who pertain to the Baptist denomination and Recorded in Office Decm. 23rd, 1842. Given under our hands this second day of November A.D. 1842. Signed, Elder John Meeks, Elder Sam'l J. Larkins, J.W.R. Moore, Clerk and Exofficio Recorder, Union County, Arkansas." Many Baptist churches in the area of Arkansas and Louisiana owe their beginnings to Richard A. Hargis. In each state you will find records showing the establishment of churches and records of many marriages performed by this Baptist Minister. From a book, "History of the Missionary Baptist Church in Claiborne Parish", by N.S. Copeland, page 134, comes the following: "Friendship Church was constituted December 26, 1847, in the dwelling house of James Wise, about one mile north of present residence of Hon. W.F. Moreland, with three male and five female members. Elder R.A. Hargis was the first pastor and served the church acceptably". On page 137 is found: "In 1848 Elder R.A. Hargis and deacon Richard Young constituted Hebron Church near Summerfield. Elder R.A. Hargis was the first pastor of the church. Hebron has since been served by a number of pastors." And on page 168: "Elder R.A. Hargis a man of more than ordinary ability, of genial disposition, and popular manners, and for a number of years was an acceptable and useful minister, and honored with the confidence and esteem of the denomination. In the later years of his life he engaged in farming and merchandising, and preached only an occasional sermon. He died a few years ago (23 May 1883, QLH) at Athens, La., after an eventful life". The foregoing examples are just a few of the churches Rev. R.A. Hargis established. He also served as first minister at many of these churches. Richard Allen Hargis was born on Saturday, 2 May 1801 and died Wednesday, 23 May 1883, 21 days past his 82nd birthday. He is buried in New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery, Old Athens, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. A new marker was placed on his grave by great great grandson Quincy Lee Hargis after a visit to the cemetery revealed an old crumbling white marble tombstone that had broken into two pieces. Repairing this marker was out of the question so a replacement was made using a more durable material. The inscription on the old marker read, Dr. R.A. Hargis, but a decision was made to use his full name, Dr. Richard Allen Hargis with the hope that future generations may recognize the person interred here with greater accuracy. During Richard's time in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, there also lived tow other Hargis families. William Napoleon Bonaparte Hargis and Joseph Felix Grundy Hargis resided and owned land in the same general area of Richard Allen Hargis. No official relationship has been established, however speculation supports the idea they may very well have been brothers. Too many coincidental points exist to overlook this possibility. Richard Allen Hargis can be considered a pioneer to the Claiborne Parish area of North Louisiana. He also represents the entry of my branch of the Hargis family into Louisiana. ADDENDUM Since writing this short biography of Richard Allen Hargis, I have found that John, the youngest child of Richard Allen and Pennicia Mitchell Hargis, did marry a Mary Deville and lived in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, before enlisting in the war. Evidence is found in the 1860 U.S. Census for Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. Also, sufficient information has been received to state that the father of Pennicia Mitchell was Wright Mitchell. At the time of the marriage between Richard and Pennicia, the Mitchell family lived in Lawrence County, Mississippi. At a later time Wright Mitchell moved to Caldwell Parish, Louisiana.

| 2426 | Elders James Brinson & Arthur McFarland, Alexander F. Nelson, and Christopher Koonce Baptist minister James Brinson and his wife Patience Elizabeth Purser, together with their daughter Holland and her husband Arthur McFarland, arrived in the Upper Pine Hills shortly before 1820 from Wilson County Tennessee. Accompanying them were Brinson's brother-in-law, Alexander F. Nelson, and son-in-law, Christopher Koonce. Together with the Honeycutts and Farmers, these Tennessee newcomers founded the Pine Hills Baptist Church in the Upper Pine Hills, in the vicinity of modern Vienna and Downsville. Brinson preached the first documented Baptist sermons in the Ouachita Valley, and he ordained his son-in-law, Arthur McFarland, soon after arriving in Louisiana. Brinson established churches across northwestern Louisiana in the 1820s, including many in modern Claiborne and Webster Parishes. In addition, he became active in the Louisiana Baptist Association in the early 1820s after his church joined that body. The delegates elected him as the moderator of the 1827 Associational Meeting held near Minden at the Black Lake Church that Brinson had helped to found a few years earlier. When they first arrived in Louisiana from Tennessee, Brinson, McFarland, Nelson, and Koonce first settled in the Upper Pine Hills, on the upper reaches of the waters of Bayou d'Arbonne near Vienna and Downsville. By 1826, Brinson had temporarily moved to Natchitoches Parish, leaving McFarland in Ouachita. By 1830, Brinson, McFarland, Nelson, and Koonce moved into the far reaches of Bayou d'Arbonne into Claiborne Parish, where Brinson died on 5 September 1831. In November 1832, Arthur McFarland, Haywood Alford, and John Impson served as ministers of Pine Hills Baptist Church. McFarland continued his ministry in Claiborne Parish until sometime after 1860 [20]. | Brinson, James J. Sr (I26557)

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. 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!
