| 4755 | NOTE: Information from James Michael Johnson, researcher. John McFarland had daughter born about 1816/1818, and I am assuming this is her. MARRIAGE: OHIO, Gallia County. Polly McFarlin to John Miller. 13 Sep 1837. LINKS-CENSUS: 1840 OHIO, Jackson Township, Bloomfield Township Page 49. There are 2 John Millers in Jackson County, and 2 in Gallia County. The Oiler family later is found in Bloomfield Township, Jackson county, so I am mentioning this John Miller as a possible relation. TO-DO-CONFLICT: Polly is usually the nickname for Mary, and since there is listed two children, one Polly and one Mary, this needs to be confirmed. ACTION: No record 1840/1850 Census Gallia County (Note: there is another John Miller family in Walnut township). CONFLICT-QUESTIONABLE LINK: THIS MARRIAGE TO JOHN MILLER IS PROBABLY INCORRECT SINCE SON RILEY, ON 1880 CENSUS SAYS MOTHER BORN IN MASSACHUSETTS. | McFarland, Polly (Mary) (I27755)

John Wilkins, Jr. became owner of several hundred acres of his father's estate, situated in Mount Joy township, on the north side of the Paxtang and Conestoga road, now owned by the Nisleys, about two miles west of Mount Joy. This land adjoined Gordon Howard, Samuel Smith and John Wilson. In 1761 he moved to Carlisle and became a storekeeper. John Wilson, who owned part of the Wilson tract, also moved to Carlisle, where he carried on carpentering. Colonel Wilkins moved to Pittsburgh, and was the ancestor of that branch of the family in that place." Teacher of History in the Mulersville State Normal School.

| 4759 | Notes from an e-mail from a descendant visiting the graveyard: "Yesterday, we ventured again to Webbers Falls, slowed down and enjoyed a local carwash drive while all the cherokee, apache, and whites got on their cell phones to find that " Micfar land cemetery". They did give us accurate details on how to find DURDEE CRICK just across I 40. Once at Mcfarland Cemetery I admired the handsome granite monument and was spellbound when I found Greatgranmas 1st husband Tribble Daniel tombstone and of course the blessed McFarlands amongst the lilac and nicely landscaped abode. " From: http://greetingsfromgreencountry.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-2-of-rain.html Pictures of the cemetery and her notes are here: The pictures above and below are of a small family cemetery tucked back off the main gravel road in to Webbers Falls from our place. It is very near an overpass on I-40, although you cannot see it from the freeway. I've always wondered who was buried there, and more importantly, who kept it up, because it is always well mowed and weeded and kept looking so nice. So one day Mary and I stopped and took some pictures. I'm so glad we did. I still don't know who keeps it up, but assume it is some family member or someone they pay to do it. I'll type up what the large headstone says in case you can't read it all. See below.

A couple of them dying at a young age. Other family members and native Americans (Details not available) What a wonderful thing that this family has kept the memory of these people alive. I would hope we all should be so fortunate after we are gone. Take care and God Bless. | McFarland, Horatio Harris (I30609)

| 4760 | Notes from Ancestry tree by Karen13472 about Rachel Ward. Rachel (Ward) Reed was probably the daughter of Alexander and Mary (McFarland) Ward.No document was found that would definitively prove that relationship, however several documents exist that corroborate family lore as shown by the following timeline of events: 1791: "Ordered that a road be laid off from Neilys Ferry on French Broad River to ___Mill on Big Pigeon River and that Samuel Jack, John McFarland, Jno. Casey, Alex Rodgers,Alex ward, John Ward, Henry Nave, Thomas Keeny, Charles Adkins, Thomas Anderson,William Bell, and Robert Miller being first duly sworn, view and mark the same and report next court." [i]This area would be in present day Cocke County and indicates that the above men were, at least, neighbors. 1793: John McFarland witness to will of Alexander Ward, who lived on claim south of French Broad. Per his will, Alexander Ward has wife Mary, son David, daughters Phoebe, and Rachael [ii] (wife Mary is considered by many to be John McFarland's daughter Mary, born 1764.) 1796: Mary Ward marries Seth Moore on July 13th in Jefferson County, Tennessee. [iii] This is probably the widowed Mary (McFarland) Ward. 1796, Oct. 4: Seth Moore is named as one of the purchasers of Alexander Ward's property in the record of his estate sale.Seth Moore would have been Mary McFarland's husband for about 3 months.ii 1800: Seth Moore is listed on the census page with the McFarland family on the Morgan, Buncombe County, North Carolina census.Although the census was alphabetical, it shows that Seth Moore was living in the same district as the McFarland family.The children inSeth Moore's home are of an appropriate age to be the children of Alex and Mary(McFarland) Ward. [iv] 1801: Feb. 23. John McFarland of Buncombe purchases from Seth Moore of Buncombe 118 acres at the mouth of Beaverdam Creek, beginning at the bank of Pigeon River on line of McDowell's survey, for $75, paid in hand. Witness, Nathan Dever and Sam'l Rutherford. Signed Seth Moore. [v] 1807: DAVID WARD, a minor heir of ALEX. WARD-302 acres-Cocke County-on French Broad River beginning at a black oak corner to ALEXANDER ROGERS, with old conditional line, corner with WILLIAM HORN, conditional line with HORN, crossing road leading from Newport to mouth of Noley Chuckey-CC LEVY GIBSON and GEORGE SEWELL Surveyed February 4, 1807. [vi] 1809: Rachel Ward marries James Reed in Haywood County on Nov. 11.Haywood County was formed in 1809 from the same part of Buncombe County that Seth Moore and theMcFarlands were living in 1800. 1818: Seth Moore is listed with John McFarland and David Ward on the Ste Genevieve County, Missouri census taken October 18th. [vii]James Reed is not found on this census; however this does not preclude a familial relationship.Family tradition holds that James Reed and family were already in Cole County by 1818.As of Feb 2014, an 1818 census was not available for Cole County (nor Cooper County as Cole County was formed in 1820 from part of Cooper County.) Family lore states that Rachel (Ward) Reed's parents were David Ward and an unknownMcFarland/McFarlin.Also that Margaret M (Moore) Robinson, who is buried in Reed Cemetery near Rachel, was Rachel's half-sister. [viii]Margaret's son George W Robinsonmarried Rachel's daughter Elizabeth Reed with their oldest son being named Seth Moore Robinson. [ix] This lore in conjunction with the documents listed above form a list of circumstantial evidence that leads to the conclusion that Rachel (Ward) Reed was the daughter ofAlexander Ward and Mary McFarland.David Ward was Rachel's brother.(Alexander Wardalso had an uncle named David Ward who lived in Tazewell County, Virginia.)Mary (McFarland) Ward (Rachel's mother) married Seth Highlands Moore - middle name ofHighlands is found on an 1841 land patent - and they were the parents of Margaret M (Moore) Robinson which would make Margaret, Rachel's half-sister as family tradition has long held. A closing note per a sketch written by Nell Turner: "Rachel Ward Reed was a woman of some refinement, education and culture who ran away from home as a young woman to marry her young lover, an Irish red head, James Reed."vii -Compiled by Nancy Schmidt, last updated February 10, 2014 ________________________________________ [i] Greene Co.

| 4761 | Notes from descendant Rita Woodward said he disappeared 1901, foul play suspected. He was living with his family in Haskell Co., TX in 1900. A daughter was born in 1902. His widow and the family were living in Jackson Co. Oklahoma in 1910. In the 1910 census, Sarah says she has 11 children, 10 alive. She is living with Jack, 15, McKinley, 13, Ova 11, and Daisy, age 8. Martha Mae never appeared in the census records with Newton and Sarah, because it appears they were in Oklahoma for the 1880 census. By 1900, Martha has married Glasscock and is living in Hunt Co. There appears to be another child, probably born after Martha Mae, possibly in Indian Territory as well, but that child is unknown. | McFarland, Newton Marion (I31161)

| 4770 | OBIT 03 William Hayes McFarlin, Compiled by Barbara P. Easley, Obituaries of Benton County, Arkansas; Volume 3; 1905-1909 (Hertiage, Inc.; 1995), Page 203. MCFARLIN, William Hayes - "Uncle Billy" McFarlin died Monday after a short illness, the result of a fever. Funeral services were held at the M.E. church, South yesterday afternoon and were conducted by Presiding Elder Sherman, an old friend of the deceased., and by the pastor, Rev. Bates and Rev. T.A. Martin of Bentonville. "Uncle Billy" was one of the oldest citizens of Rogers and one of the most beloved throughout the entire community. Never seen without a pleasant smile and a hearty word of greeting, his life has been one long benediction fo cheerfulness and encouragement to all his associates. Especially will he be missed around the berry sheds and warehouses where he has helped for many years. The following facts regarding his life are taken from the obituary read at the funeral by Rev. Bates: William Hayes McFarlin was born in Shelbyville, Tenn. October 27, 1827. At the age of 20 years gave his young life to Christ and united with the M.E. church, South in which church he lived for sixty years. October 12, 1852 he married Elizabeth Miller and to them were born six children, two of whom are dead; the living are Mrs. J.S. Kiser, Mrs. A.G. Tribble, Miss Lizzie McFarlin and H.G. McFarlin. The mother of these children died many years ago and later he married Miss Mary Miller, who died several years ago. Mr. McFarlin came to Rogers twenty -six years ago and was one of the charter members of this church and for many years was a member fo the official board. In the death of Bro. McFarlin the church has lost her oldest member, the community an honored citizen, the family a devoted and much loved father, and the pastor a trusted appreciated friend. [Rogers Democrat 10/16/07] Email on William Hayes McFarlin, Micki Olivier, "Clarification of William Hayes McFarlin and Wives." I'm sure that William Hayes McFarlin b. 10/27/1827 was married to Elizabeth Miller and later to her sister, Mary Miller, who raised her sister's kids. Martha Letita Tribble "Aunt Letsie" was William Hayes and Elizabeth's daughter, who married Allen Yell Tribble in 1879. They had three children Alice, Sadie, and Henry. William Hayes and Elizabeth also hsd three other children besides Letsie, they were Girl McFarlin, Lizzie McFarlin, and H.G. McFarlin. I have the write up in the paper of their deaths which were quite extensive and detailed. Also, my great grandfather, John H. was married to Lucy Ann Locke, when he died, I have his will wheich names his widoe Lucy Ann as benefactor. The married Aug. 2, 1862, she didn't die until 1920 in Oklahoma. They are both buried side by side in Flynn Cemetery S.W. of Cushing, Okhahoma. I had heard a rumor of Gr. Grandfather being married before... He died in 1903 Lucy was married to another for a short time after he died, but they separated. [Mary Helen Haines-Notes] | McFarlin, William Hayes (I22548)

| 4787 | Obituary from Dallas Morning News, Dec. 23, 1933. "Mrs. Tennie McFarland Graves, 52, of 2517 Oak Lawn, for seven years church visitor for the East Dallas Christian Church, and member of a pioneer Texas family, died Friday morning after an illness of two weeks. Because of ill health she resigned her position with the church last April. Mrs. Graves was born in Ladonia, Fannin County, daughter of the late James F. McFarland and granddaugther of the Fannin County pioneer, Jackson McFarland. At the time of her death Mrs. Graves owned land near Ladonia that was granted her grandfather by Gen. Sam Houston during the time of the republic. Her husband, Henry L. Graves, was a merchant of Ladonia. He died there about ten years ago...... She is survived by two step-sons, Henry L. Graves Jr., United States Navy, stationed at San Diego, Cal., and will Nunn Graves, Milwaukee; her mother, Mrs. Mary Jane McFarland of Ladonia; four brothers, Sam J. McFarland, James R. McFarland, both of Lubbock; John A. McFarland of Ladonia and Dr. Gordon B. McFarland of Dallas; three sisters, Mrs. Walter P. Jennings of Lubbock, Mrs. W.M. Williams of Ladonia and Mrs. Joe M. Hill of Dallas.... From Lola McFarland Hill's book: P. 99 RUTHA TENNESSEE MCFARLAND - married Henry L. GRAVES. Born Aug. 22, 1881. Fifth child of the family. She attend¬school in Ladonia and graduated from Carlton College in Bonham. While in college she studied painting with Miss Grace Carlton, and painted many beautiful pictures. She was very capable at needle work and while in college she knitted a beautiful shawl for her mother. She was a great help in managing the household, and showed great concern for any who were ill or grieved. While living at home in Ladonia, she worked at the bank and the Oil Mill, and at the same time was the teacher of a Sunday School Class of young people at the First Christian Church - the Loyal Bereans. Her influence was very great upon those in her class. She went to Europe with her sister Florence in 1910, attending the Passion Play. On the 26th of Dec. 1918 she was married to Mr. Graves and made for him, Mother Graves, Will Nunn and Henry a lovely home life. He was stricken ill soon after their marriage, but for five years she was extremely happy, until his death May 30, 1924. After his death, she and Henry Jr. came to Dallas and lived on Victor Street and Henry attended Woodrow Wilson High School. She was employed in the office of the Trinity Warehouse which was operated by her brother James R. In 1926 she became the church visitor for the East Dallas Christian Church and was of the most valuable service to the church and especially to Dr. L. N. D. Wells, the minister. During this time she lived in the home of Judge and Mrs. R. J. Thorne. In 1932, because of ill health, she resigned from this strenuous work and became secretary in the office of her brother Dr. Gordon B. McFarland and lived in the home of Miss Cora McFarland on Henderson Ave. She suffered many hemorrhages and was given inumberable blood transfusions. Among the donors were Rebel Proctor and her brother-in-law, Joe Hill, who gave as many as twenty. She died on Dec. 22, 1933, and her place was never filled in the hearts of her loved ones. She remembered all her family in her will, giving her jewels to her nieces and the homestead farm to her sister, Lola. She was only 52 years old when she died, but her life had been so full of love and service to others that it might have been a much longer life in someone else, to have accomplished what she die. She is buried beside her father and mother in the Ladonia Cemetery. P. 100 GRAVES - MCFARLAND. • from Ladonia News, Dec. 27, 1918 Friends in Ladonia were surprised to receive news of the marriage of Mr. H. L. Graves and Miss Tennie MoFarland in Fort Worth last Thursday. Accompanied by Capt. and Mrs. Joe M. Hill and John A. McFarland they drove to Ft. Worth from Dallas and were married at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Walter P. Jennings. The latter is a sister of the bride. Rev. Jennings performed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Graves returned Tuesday from Dallas and will occupy the Graves home on East Main Street, which is being remodeled. The groom is a prominent merchant of Ladonia, being a member of the firm of Graves-Moore Co., and is well and favorably known throughout this section of the state, while the bride is the daughter of Mrs. Mary J. McFarland and the late J. F. McFarland, banker and business man of Ladonia for years. Miss Tennie is one of Ladonia's most lovable characters and everyone is her friend. She has held the responsible position as book-keeper at the First State Bank for some time, besides being prominent in church and social circles. The News congratulates this popular couple upon the happy event and wishes for them that all their years may be rich in the fullness of joy to each. RESOLUTION To many is given an urge to serve, but to few is added the gifts of an understanding sympathy and the facility of expression that opens the way to the very hearts of those to whom the service is carried. Such a handmaiden in the Courts of our Lord was MRS. TENNIE MCFARLAND GRAVES whose translation, after a lifetime of devoted service in earth¬ly fields, to that rare world above leaves so great a void in our church family. But withal there is a song of joy and thanksgiving for the ever continuing influence of her ministrations and example, especially in her work as Visitor for the East Dallas Christian Church. In this and all other Christian service, neither heat of summer not cold of winter, physical pain no the lure of conflicting in¬terests, deterred her devotion to what she made her highest duty. We commit to the permanent records of East Dallas Christian Church this expression of thanks, appreciation, and affection for our be¬loved co-worker, and order that a copy hereof, with our deepest sympathy be transmitted to her devoted family. OFFICIAL BOARD East Dallas Christian Church. Signed: J. Howard Payne, Paul Gerhart, Starr Armstrong ,LND,'Vells. Dallas, Texas - May 7, 1934 A.D, P. 101 SORROW TO THE WHOLE CHURCH FAMILY -from the Church World - Mrs. H. L. Graves, for seven years assistant to the pastor in East Dallas. No greater sorrow has ever come to the East Dallas Church than that occasioned by the passing of Mrs. H. L. Graves, for seven years as faithful a servant as any church ever had. Her interest was vital in every department of our church life and her constant check-up on all our groups was remarkable indeed. If any class, department or organization among us began to lag for any reason, whatsoever, Mrs. Graves' attention was on it immediately, and through her zealous efforts the difficulties were corrected very soon. Perhaps she rendered no greater ser¬vice than her work in helping your pastor to center his efforts across the years. Your pastor (Dr. L.N.D.Wells) never made a call in following her suggestion that he did not feel that call to be tremendously worthwhile. She had a remarkable ability of sensing situations and knowing not only where her own presence would be of most value, but also where a call by the pastor would count for the most. Mrs. Graves always found those in trouble, those in distress, those who were ill, those who were disaffected, and always, and under every circumstance her service was of the highest type. We have never heard a criticism of her work as assistant to the pastor in East Dallas. Her place will be very hard to fill. L.N.D. Wells, Pastor. "It is in the darkness that the light is needed and it is there that it shines the best. The other day a saintly woman of my own parish went to the hospital to say a last farewell to a grown daughter who within a few hours must pass to her long home. As this Christian mother left the room with streaming eyes, she said to me, "It would be a shame to call her back, when she is so near to Heaven." And a new light from a brokenhearted mother who was a true Christian, illumined my own soul. - from The Light of the World by LND WELLS. Tennie was also known by Bakie, or Baker with family members, a nickname referring back to a well-known preacher named Tennessee Baker. She was 37 years old when she got married, and the family members were not happy with her choice at first. Her brother John Allen (Doc) wrote a letter to Gordon where he criticized this choice and said she was only doing it to avoid being an "old maid." That possibly was due to the fact his business was a competitor of the Jackson McFarland retail store in Ladonia, and that he had once dated sister Mary, but then married Mamie Nunn. However, the family changed their minds as they got to know him and he joined the Christian church. | McFarland, Rutha Tennessee (I30230)

| 4788 | Obituary from Dallas Morning News: The Rev. H. Neill McFarland found his ministerial calling in 1954 when he began teaching the history of religions at Southern Methodist University. Two years later, he crossed the Pacific as a visiting professor in Japan. The experience led to many lasting relationships and his founding of the Japan-America Society of Dallas in 1970. McFarland, 93, died July 14 of a heart attack at Medical City Dallas. A memorial will be at 3 p.m. Thursday in SMU's Perkins Chapel. H. Neill McFarland, retired SMU professor of history of religions. H. Neill McFarland, retired SMU professor of history of religions. McFarland had been a church pastor and conducted weddings throughout his career, but seemed to prefer the classroom to the pulpit, said his daughter Anna McFarland of Dallas. McFarland was born in Dallas, where he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1941. He was captain of the Wildcats basketball team. He attended SMU but received his bachelor's degree from Texas Christian University, where he played basketball. In 1944, he married June Balch. She died of cancer in 1971. Considering Botox? Get the facts before you go under the needle SPONSORED CONTENT Considering Botox? Get the facts before you go under the needle By Methodist Health System McFarland returned to SMU, where he earned a doctor of divinity degree from what is now the Perkins School of Theology, studying under the Navy's V-12 program to become a chaplain. In Dallas, McFarland was assistant pastor for two years each at First Methodist Church in Dallas and Crown Heights Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. He then went to Columbia University to resume his studies. In New York, he was pastor of Goodsell Memorial Methodist Church in Brooklyn for five years. In 1954, McFarland earned a doctorate in history of religions from Columbia under a joint program with Union Theological Seminary. He then joined SMU as assistant professor of history of religions. Although McFarland chose the classroom over the church, he conducted many weddings and spoke before congregations throughout his career, his daughter said. In 1956, McFarland, his wife and three daughters went to Japan for his visiting professorship. "Both my parents just kind of fell in love with Japan, the culture and the people," his daughter said. "They came back and cultivated friends who had similar interests. Then, eventually they got a group together and decided to form the Japan-America Society." In 1966, McFarland was named associate dean of SMU's theology school. He became provost and vice president the next year. In 1972, longing for a return to the classroom, he stepped down as provost to resume full-time teaching. He was SMU's director of international programs from 1975 to 1979. He retired in 1988. In 1986, the emperor of Japan awarded McFarland the Order of the Sacred Treasure with Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon in recognition of his contributions to mutual understanding between the U.S. and Japan. McFarland wrote two books: The Rush Hour of the Gods: A Study of the New Religious Movements in Japan (1970) and Daruma: The Founder of Zen in Japanese Art and Popular Culture (1987). In 1973, McFarland married Connie Kamperman. In addition to his wife and daughter, McFarland is survived by two other daughters, Sharon Groves and Marsha McFarland, both of Richardson; a stepson, Bill Kamperman of Winchester, Ky.; his brother, George McFarland Jr. of Annapolis, Md.; two grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. | McFarland, Horace Neill (I29213)

| 4791 | OBITUARY: BURNET BULLETIN, JULY 20,1944 RUFUS JACKSON McFARLAND (1858-1944) A BURNET COUNTY PIONEER CALLED -------------------------------------------------------------- Rufus Jackson McFarland, a pioneer of Burnet County, was called by death at the Shepperd-Allen Hospital in Burnet July 12th, 1944, where he had been ill for several days. His funeral service was held July 13th in the Northington funeral Chapel, conducted by Rev. Robert H. James, Methodist pastor. Burial was in the Odd Fellows Cemetery of Burnet, with Bunk Gibbs, Eppie Debo, Frank Debo, M. McClure, Bud Moffitt and Vernon Greer as pallbearers. Mr. McFarland is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Adam Cummins of Agua Dulce, Texas, Mrs. C.B. Raney of San Antonia, Mrs. W.G. Gibson of Manteca, California, Mrs. J.W. Copeland of Pettus, Texas, three sons, King McFarland of Burnet, C.C. McFarland of Houston, Rufus McFarland of San Antonia, and one brother R.R. McFarland of Cleburne. His wife preceded him in death many years ago. Mr. McFarland was born April 9th 1858 in Burnet county, and lived in this section all his life. He was a law-abiding, honest man, and had many friends to regret his death. For the past several years Mr. McFarland had been totally blind, but he bore this affliction courageously and was always glad to have his old friends call and talk over old times with him. Upon the anniversary of his 86th birthday last April 9th, his children arranged a celebration for him at the Burnet Hotel, when many of his old friends called and paid their respects. Mr. McFarland greatly enjoyed the occasion, as did his children and the friends who dropped in for a few minutes chat. Jack McFarland was indeed a pioneer of Burnet county, his parents being among its earlier settlers. Until he was twelve years of age, Indians raided this section of Texas regularly murdering the people and stealing horses. No doubt Mr. McFarland witnessed the effects of some of these depredations, and could relate many of the interesting early day episodes of the county. Not many men and women who were in Burnet county during Indian times are alive, and soon all of them will be gone, with only the memories of them left, which should be reverenced always. ************* 1900 Burnet Co., TX census Pct 1 pg 199 McFARLAND, Rufus; b.

| 4792 | OBITUARY: BURNET BULLETIN, JULY 26,1923 MRS. CORA E. MCFARLAND (1865-1923) MRS. R.J. McFARLAND DEAD This community was deeply shocked and grieved Tuesday afternoon, July 24th, 1923, when it was learned that Mrs. R.J. McFarland had died in Temple, where she was recently operated upon for cancer. The body was brought to Burnet and will be interred Thursday morning in the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Bro. Hocutt, Methodist pastor, conduting the service. Mrs. McFarland was a good woman in its truest sense - a loving kind and helpful wife, a devoted mother, a faithful, consecrated Christian, and a neighbor and friend universally loved. She is survived by her husband, R.J.McFarland, and nine children, as follows: Mrs. Lula Frazier of south Texas, King McFarland of this place, Mrs. Annie Hereford of Tow, Mrs. Nora Cummins of South Texas, Mrs. Willie Hereford of Burnet, Rufus McFarland of Burnet, Mrs. Ed. McDaniel of this county, Cliffton McFarland of this community, and Miss Thelena of Burnet. The loved ones are heart-broken over the loss of their dear mother, who is awaiting them in that better world beyond the grave. The Bulletin joins the hundreds of friends of the family in extending condolence and sympathy in their sad bereavement. ***************** OBITUARY: BURNET BULLETIN, AUG 16,1923 MRS. CORA EDNA (JONES) McFARLAND (1865-1923) "The Old Order Changeth," and the brave men and loyal women, who as pioneers of this county, are answering the "last roll call" and passing on to the Great Beyond, and such was the subject of this sketch. Mrs. Cora Edna Jones McFarland was born in Travis county, Texas, September sixteenth, 1865, and moved to Burnet county, with her parents at the age of sixteen years, and resided here till her death, which occurred in Temple sanitarium, July 24, 1923. It was not the privilege of her loved ones to be with her when the last summons came, but her loving Saviour piloted her over the dark river. On January 1st, 1884 she was united in marriage to Rufus Jack McFarland and to this union ten children were born - the first born dying in infancy. Those surviving of Burnet are: King McFarland, Mrs. Willie Hereford, Mrs. Lillian McDaniel, Rufus McFarland, Clifton McFarland, and Miss Thelena., Mrs. Lula Frazier of Odem, Mrs. Annie Hereford of Tow Valley, Mrs. Nora Cummings of Aqua Dulce, her mother of Ft. Worth, five brothers, two sisters and twenty five grand children are left to mourn her sad demise. Her father preceded her in death two years ago. Mrs. McFarland was truly a daughter of the Confederacy, her father was a volunteer in the war between the states and served with loyalty, the Confederate cause, the entire four years of that terrible struggle - as did four of her uncles, and one Uncle, James Jones, "sleeps in the bivouac of the dead" - he was killed in the last battle fought in that memorable war, and later when the World war was on, her son, Rufus McFarland was with those who were battling for their country. For thirty-five years Mrs. McFarland was a devoted member of the Methodist church, training her children to live a God fearing life and "In teaching them how to live taught them how to die" - it was her happy privilege to see all her children united with churches of their choice. Numberless friends in Burnet County are saddened at her death, the missionary society of the Methodist Church feel deeply their loss, as she was a cherished member of their society and the Order of the Eastern Star realize that "In the measureless realm of time, how brief is our earthly life; yet how momentous and eternal its issues" and sorrow with the loved ones, who mourn the death of Sister Cora McFarland, whose membership "lengthened the golden chain of this noble order." Sincere sympathy is extended to the sons and daughters, and to the heart broken husband, who so happily journeyed through many years of contentment with his devoted wife. The funeral services were held at the tabernacle, her beloved pastor, Rev. Hocutt, officiating and the Order of the Eastern Star held their impressive burial service. Quantities of fragrant flowers covered the casket and grave and all that was mortal of this beloved one, was tenderly laid to rest, awaiting the resurrection morn and waiting beyond the river to welcome her loved ones to their eternal home "in that land where separation and death are known no more, forever" A FRIEND.Marriage Book F, pg 135 R.

Survivors include the wife, Celeste, two children William R. Thomas of Denver and Mrs. Peggy Whitaker of Tuscaloosa, Ala., his parents, Mr and Mrs K. K. Thomas of Perryton; a grandchild, Gary Thomas; and a sister, Mrs. C. J. Hutchinson of Baton Rouge, La. *************** BIOGRAPHY: Biography written by Peggy Thomas Bakken "Ochiltree County History", Volume 2, pages 403-404. Jesse Ray Thomas first came to Perryton in 1925 to stay temporarily with his parents, K.K. and Lulu Thomas. He was recuperating from an accident suffered while roughnecking in the oil fields near Port Aurthur. Shortly thereafter, complications from the flu contracted while in the service in WW I required him to wear a body cast the rest of his life - a fact which did not dampen his cheerful disposition and zest for living. While Ray was recuperting from the accident, his wife Celeste, with their not quite two-year-old son, William Ray, was awaiting the birth of their second child with her parents, Perry J. and Sally Johnson, in Elton, Louisiana. The enforced seperation was difficult for both parents and in letters they dreamed of the time they could be together to start their new life in Perryton. The dream began to come true when Ray went to Louisiana in April 1926 and brought his family (now including 6-week-old Peggy Jane) back to Perryton, driving a Model A Ford with two ets of spark plugs. While one set was in use, Celeste cleaned the other set. Perryton was a new, frontier town and the stories recalled by their children involved Main Street boardwalks, water sold by the barrel, and law enforcement by Texas Rangers. Louisiana born and bred Celeste had the essential rice and chicory coffe sent to Perryton by her family. Ray joined Tom McLain in McLain and Thomas Real Estate and Insurance, and the partnership endured until Tom's death. Ray continued the business alone until he died at age of 56 in 1953. Their false-fronted office building was located on Main Street next to what is now the Perryton Office Supply Company. The building itself has been moved to the Museum of the Plains and is outfitted as a general store. Ray also owned, with A.K. Wooten, the Thomas-Wooten Implement Company. He was also head clerk of the Cattle Auction for many years. Celeste worked there as assistant clerk. The family firstt lived at 302 South Colgate. In 1935, in the middle of the Depression and Dust Bowl era, they moved to a farm three and a half miles northwest of town. Celeste many times told the story of having to to prepare breakfast several times one particularly bad morning, in an effort to get the food to the table before dust covered it. During this era, they became discouraged and made a trip to Arkansas with the thought of moving there. Althugh they returned with a car full fo fruits and vegetables, the prronounced it a "land of no ambition" and elected to remain in Perryton. During the war in 1944, unable to get help on the farm, they built a home at 717 South Colgate. Both Ray and Celeste were active in community and church affairs. Ray was president of the VFW in the 30s, served on the Ration Board during WW II, and was active in the Rotary. He was an entusiastic supporter of the school athletic teams, frequently acting as offical time keeper for the basketball tournaments, and was a lie Deacon and dedicated worker in the First Baptist Church. Celeste was active in the Sorosis Clu and the First Baptist Church, where she served as president of the WMS and was for many years the superintentent of the Sunda School Primary Department. In 1956, three years after Ray's death, Celeste became a dormitory director at Wayland Baptist College in Plainview, position she held for eight years. In 1964 she went to live with her daughter in Virginia, ntil her death in 1968 at age 67. After her Mother's death, Peggy discovered Ray's letters to Celeste during their health-enforced separation in the winter of 1925-26. The post script on the last letter before their reunion stated that their foremost desires were to be together, to be happy, and to educate their children. Their children both graduated from Perryton High, Bill in 1941 and Peggy in 1943. Bill attended Oklahoma A&M for a year prior to enlisting in the Army. He served with the 99th Infantry Division and was in the Battle of the Bulge. He returned to Perryton after the war and was associated with his father in farming. In 1949, he went to Denver University, receiving a BS degree in mechanical engineering in 1954.

After teaching in Spearman for a year, she helped put KEYE on the air and worked at the tation for two years. She attended the University of Alabama and received a MA in 1955. After 29 years of teaching speech, she retired from Marymount College in Virginia as Professor Emeritus, and currently resides in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

| 4796 | OBITUARY: Meigs County Obituaries JOHNSON, Mahala McFarland - Meigs County Telegraph, September 20, 1861 In Rutland, Aug. 24th, 1861, of Consumption, Mrs. MAHALA M. JOHNSON, wife of Mr. Charles Johnson, in the twenty-seventh year of her age. Mahala McFarland was born in Salem, Dec. 27th, 1834. From the time of her marriage with Mr. Johnson she resided in Rutland. A few years since, she became obedient to the faith of the Gospel and united with the Christian Church. Thus, Godliness combined with her natural amiable and brilliant qualities enabled her, in eminent degree, to perform her duties of wife, mother, church member, and the various relations of life.-- Her last illness was of a lingering and trying nature, which she bore with that fortitude which "Christ formed within" alone can inspire. When it became evident that her days were about summed up, a holy calmness settled upon her placid countenance, while she expressed her entire resignation to the Divine Will, but always with an anxious look to her little family. Thus has passed away a lovely young Christian mother, leaving as more immediate mourners, three little children and a most devoted and faithful husband, and breaking up one of the happiest families in this vicinity.
