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.
