• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Ladonia, Tx. In the family bible and in early documents his name is shown as John Win McFarland. 1890 address P.O. was Bonham, lived in Silver City. Had 407 acres in cultivation. Married his second cousin. Flowers for the Living: Ladonia News The passing of another week bring into existence another flower, just as rare and beautiful as any which we have strawn along the pathway of life. This week we have selected a farmer of the great Ladonia country, Mr. J. E. McFarland. Mr. McFarland owns a large farm and beautiful home about 7 miles northeast of Ladonia, on the Bonham pike in the Silver City community. He is the kind of farmer who believes in diversification, and usually raises large crops of grain, fruits, caught, poultry and pork. He is also a man who believes in a good community, always taking a leading part in school and church affairs and it is largely through his effort that they are rated among the best rural in the County. Mr. McFarland has served Woods school for years as an efficient trustee. As a young man Mr. McFarland united with the First Christian Church and has been an active worker in that congregation for years and has always supported financially and otherwise. He has proven himself in many ways to be an influential citizen. Mr. McFarland and family enjoy the many luxuries the farm now affords, electric lights, radio, Victrola, piano; automobile and good roads. As to the affairs of community, county and state you can always depend on Mr. McFarland being well informed. He believes in selecting the man for a public office who is competent and best qualified to fill the trust, and has never voted for a man merely through sympathy our friendship. You can always depend on his being on the right side of every question. Mr. McFarland is a good acquaintance, a special friend and he always finds the warmest welcome wherever he goes. Mr. and Mrs. McFarland have reared a large family of Christian girls and boys and they are now enjoying the latter years of life is only those can who live in contentment. Obituary: PIONEER LADONIA CITIZEN IS DEAD John E. McFarland was born April 19th, 1849, and passed away at 1:05 on the morning of August 13th, 1927, being at the time of his going, 78 years 4 months and 4 days of age. He was united in marriage to Nancy B. Horn, on September 25, 1873. To this union seven children were born, six of whom are living; Susie McFarland Abshire, (deceased) Artimessia McFarland Rattan, James N. McFarland, John J. McFarland, Cordelia McFarland Bartley, Annette McFarland Milford, Newman Horn McFarland. John McFarland was born, reared and died, on the same farm. This is unusual, and complimentary too, for his boy-hood friends loved him as in the days of their youth. He was of a generous nature and ready at all times to lend a hand and means to his fellow man. Living in his house by the side of the road, he proved himself a real friend to all who passed his way. He was a Christian for thirty-six years, and his life was such that he will be missed by his community as a man of true worth and benefit to all. Those who knew him loved him for his cheerful and hopeful disposition which was in evidence, even to the time of his going. He leaves to hold him in cheerished (sic) memory, the companion, the six children, thirty-one grand children, and thirteen great-grand children, together wild a host of relatives and friends, numbered by those who knew him. Funeral services were held at the First Christian Church of Ladonia Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, conducted by Rev. E.B. Chancellor, minister after which the remains were interred in the local cemetery. The funeral services were largely attended by the relatives and friends. Six of the grandsons acted as pallbearers.
