| Notes |
From Maggie Cox:
She was very beautiful. And think of it- no makeup or hair spray. Do you know that she married another man before John? The first husband wouldn't agree to take my father and his siblings after their mother died, so Verne divorced him, moved back to Ladonia and married John McFarland. John (Grandaddy Mc) told me that he had loved Verne since they were little kids.
From the newspaper:
Mrs. J A McFarland Dies at Ladonia
Mrs. J A McFarland, a former resident of Greenville, died suddenly at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night at her home in Ladonia.
Mrs. McFarland was a resident of Greenville some six years. She left Greenville and about 1941 and moved to Dallas, then she and Mr. McFarland located in Ladonia.
She was the former Verne Cox and was a native of Ladonia.
No other details concerning her life were available due to the lateness of the hour when Greenville friends were notified.
Survivors include her husband; one son, John a McFarland, Junior, who was a football star at Greenville high school in 1940; and two nephews and a niece and she reared, Dr. E.R. Cox and A.B. Cox of Dallas and Mrs. Elmo Westin of Marathon Texas
Funeral arrangements are pending.
